Movies that should never have sequels

[JohnKleeb]

I'll give you mine when the thread gets hotter.

[sasquatch]

1. Starship Troopers

x(

[JohnKleeb]

4. never saw that one

Ok here's my first one.
Schindler's List. Great movie but what kinda sequel will that be, Schindler saves an old Jewish woman who left her groceries at the store?

[SKKY]

8. Yea, but unfortunately it did...

...and I really don't think I could think of a more sucky movie right now. It was so horrible, it was beyond horrible.

[Guaranteed]

9. It was actually supposed to be a satire...

Believe it or not. :)

[SKKY]

12. Really? Like, "Not another Starship Troopers movie"? Hmmm...

[Guaranteed]

14. It was supposed to satirize propaganda.

Like, "Join the armed forces and get your brains sucked out of your skull by an alien! But do it for your country!"

[mark11727]

13. I heard Starship Troopers was a not-bad book...

...but Sweet Jeebus, did I ever hate that movie.

[billyskank]

31. I liked it

the book that is, although some people say it's fascist. Some people say everything's fascist, of course.

[Maddy McCall]

2. The Day After Tomorrow.

It should have never had a "quel" :-)

[JohnKleeb]

5. I have no desire to see that movie

Its the kind of movies my brother sees with his friends, movies like White Chicks and Fat Albert.

[PittPoliSci]

25. i just watched White Chicks.

It really wasn't that bad.

[CanuckAmok]

21. Oh, come on...they could call it "The Day After the Day After Tomorrow"

For that reason alone, there should be a sequel.

[JohnKleeb]

22. better yet a prequel

The day before the day after tommorow.

[St. Jarvitude]

27. Or just "Tomorrow"

Or maybe "Tomorrow Never Dies" :shrug:

[ET Awful]

33. Nah, we'd have to go further than that, how about

A Week From Next Thursday at 3:00 PM? :)

[yvr girl]

3. Casablanca

It had the perfect ending. You don't want to mess with that story - it would be anti-climatic.

[JohnKleeb]

6. Yeah it wuoldnt make sense, I am looking for titles like that in the threa

btw.

[elperromagico]

7. *Jaws*. What? They did three sequels? Ahh shit.

Well, then... umm... Rocky. Oh, they did four of those? Shit.

Hmm... how about Police Academy? :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

10. hah

I thought there wouldn't be a sequel to GW Bush: A symphony of ignorance.

[CO Liberal]

11. "Leonard Part 6"

It nearly destroyed Bill Cosby's career....

[elperromagico]

15. I'm still waiting for the first five parts, damn it.

So many intricate plot points are missed by simply seeing the sixth part.

Cosby's epic vision involved a series of nine films; the first three dealing with Leonard's youth and early training, the fourth, fifth, and sixth dealing with his career, and the final three dealing with his final years training other Leonards and raising flying ostriches.

I still hold out hope that, with modern computer technology, Cosby's vast project will finally reach the mass audience it so richly deserves. :silly:

[pinniped]

16. All the stupid Friday 13th movies, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm...

St., and other stupid horror movies.

I really think none should have ever been made in the first place.

[mark11727]

17. Another list...

Titanic For obvious reasons.

Thelma and Louise Ditto.

Ghost "Ditto" Ditto.

Jaws The original was classic - all of the sequeals sucked.

Lethal Weapon The original was classic - most of the sequeals sucked.

Rocky The original was classic - most of the sequeals sucked.

Porky's The original and all of the sequeals sucked.

Police Academy The original and all of the sequeals sucked.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Continues The original sucked big time. SPOILER: when Joel Grey runs across the lake, people in the theatre were actually yelling for their money back!

[CO Liberal]

18. "Ishtar"

'Nuff said.

[CO Liberal]

19. "The Day After Tomorrow"

What do you do after freezing half the planet?

:shrug:

[CO Liberal]

20. "Mars Attacks"

You think they'd come back to listen to MORE Slim Whitman???

:-)

[CanuckAmok]

23. "On the Beach", "Silence of the Lambs", "Birdy", "Platoon".

[ImpeachBush]

59. On the Beach was a great book, though.

[Seabiscuit]

24. The Lord of the Rings trilogy

although I do look forward to Peter Jackson's prequel: "The Hobbit".

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Most movies shouldn't have sequels

There are so few quality movies made, these days, and most that they do make seem to be sequels or remakes! Why remake a classic?! Or film a sequel to a terrible movie?! Don't get me started, LOL, since you know that this was in my field, so I have strong opinions on this! Most movies that are made are totally unoriginal and most aren't very good. There's no excuse for this, since we now have excellent technology to make amazing movies. EOM :D

[JVS]

28. Citizen Kane

[kodi]

43. casablanca

and the marx brothers movie, "a night in casablanca" doesn't count.

[JohnnyCougar]

29. The Matrix

If Neo was the "One"....

Why wasn't the original "Matrix" the one?

The second one sucked, and I never saw the third one.

[lib_1138]

53. I kept thinking they said Neo was Juan

and your plan not to see Matrix 3 was a good one.

[fujiyama]

30. Jurassic Park

I'll admit I found the first one entertaining, but the two after that really were terrible.

[no_hypocrisy]

32. Joe.

[Endangered Specie]

34. Star Wars

;)

[midnight armadillo]

35. Anyone ever see Cabin Fever?

There's going to be a sequel. I know the screenwriter. I haven't seen it myself, so I can't comment on its sequel-worthiness.

[Z_I_Peevey]

39. To continue that theme: Cabin Boy.

Hoo boy.

[CO Liberal]

36. "Joe Vs. The Volcano"

:-)

[Allenberg]

37. Glitter

:p

[kick-ass-bob]

38. Braveheart.

William Wallace continues his pillaging of English lands...

sans head.

[NoPasaran]

40. Repo Man

[bunkerbuster1]

41. Eww. I can see some bozo re-making it

on the level, removing all the leftist / atheist / anarchist stuff and turning it into an action-adventure violence orgy for the whole family.

Hope Mel Gibson isn't lurking here.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

42. Highlander

"There can be only one!"

(Except for the immortal in part 2, and part 3, and part 4, and the television series, and the second television series...)

[Boswells_Johnson]

44. Das Boot

[Bok_Tukalo]

45. 2001

<eom>

[lib_1138]

56. You didn't like 2010? nt

[gratuitous]

46. Chinatown

Unfortunately, Hollywood doesn't listen to the likes of me.

[joeybee12]

47. Gone With The Wind!

It said it all, and it ended where it should have....the sequel to the book sucked, and the sequel miniseries was disgustingly bad.

Like I said, the story itself is complete--there's nothing more to say.

Rocky is the same--all the sequels made the meaning of the first one meaningless.

[Left Is Write]

50. My choice also. I have not read the sequel, nor have I watched the

movie they made out of it.

"Gone With The Wind" in my mind stays finished where Margaret Mitchell herself ended it.

[sakabatou]

48. Gigli

That movie should have never come out. Ever.

[udflyersfan]

49. Titanic

edited for spelling.

[cruadin]

51. "Porky's"---I mean, what else is there to say? n/t

[BringEmOn]

52. This one....

[flygal]

54. Raiders of the Lost Ark

I hate the sequels - Indy got too cheesy in them. I liked his "broodiness" in the first.

[Lerkfish]

55. actually, the one with Sean Connery was the best in the series...

IMHO. What was that called? and the holy grail?

at any rate, it was only superior because Connery doing schtick was actually somewhat funny.

[Ekirh]

58. It was called

The Last Crusade

That one is actually my favorite one also, But Raiders of the Lost Ark is excellent as well. Never liked temple of Doom though..

[ImpeachBush]

57. Being There

Although, bringing Peter Sellers back to life would make my day.

[Ekirh]

60. A movie that should never have a sequel....

All the disney Animations that are now getting released on video sequels.."sighs"

[auntAgonist]

61. Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

I mean .. where ELSE could they possibly go? ...
