Empire is obviously the film that's held in the highest regard among movie goers these days, and the evidence clearly lies in movie ranking lists done on several sites on the internet.

That thread doesn't prove anything. There are plenty of people out there who prefer SW to Empire, but overall Empire is held in higher regard. However that wasn't always the case, which to me is baffling. I don't think I can name another sequel that was once regarded as inferior to it's predecessor that's now widely considered superior to it's predecessor.
