Return of the Jedi (1983)
Although it’s the weaker of the three entries in the Star Wars episode 4-6 story arc, Return of the Jedi is still as thoroughly entertaining a final chapter as anyone could have reason to hope for. Lucas decides...

Shanghai Knights (2003)
Shanghai Knights is both better and worse in many ways than the first film, Shanghai Noon, so I feel that the reaction as to which you think is the better of the two will significantly depend...
