    Goddammit. I wzas JUST saying the other day how Gremlins 2 is a perfect sequel in a franchise-dominated world, AND prevents a third movie from being considered. At least from Joe Dante, who is the best person suited to make those movies.

    Produced by Spielberg and directed by Chris Columbus? Sounds schmaltzy and they didn’t even start!

      The original is also made better by the more serious tone it takes despite being a “family” movie. I feel it straddled that line better than other movies that try to do similar.

      And the 2nd movie was made better by them basically lampooning themselves while still telling a coherent story.
