If you take the action sequences out of Top Gun Maverick, it's really pretty bad. I'm not saying Top Gun was great, but it was in the entertainment over substance world (of which Point Break is King). Arguably better, but if you step back from nostalgia and spectacle, neither were very good.
Where would people put Raid 2 and Raid?
There is also the 'thin thread' trilogies, where I would put Hot Fuzz over Shaun, and Snatch over Lock, Stock.
I think that Old Boy was the second, after Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.
