Robin Hood, the one from Disney with the fox people. Since Disney just LOVES to bastardize everything with direct to DVD sequels to everything they fucking make.

something good came out of robin hood.
robin hood: men in tights.

Withnail & I is the main one. Though there are numerous others that could have had a bastard-child sequel that thankfully didn't.

Speaking of Alan Moore, did you listen to Chain Reaction [http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00lblq9/b00lbl25/Chain_Reaction_Series_1_Stewart_Lee_Interviews_Alan_Moore/] on the radio the other day?

Did anyone else think that he is one of the funniest men alive? He was like... well... he could almost be a comic ( no pun intended) and also, im guessing your listen to the comedy club loooooooooads like me, i need a second opinion, do you like that weird Scottish thing...Chewin' The Fat?

I love Chewin' The Fat, both the radio and the TV versions. I don't find it that weird though... just Scottish (in the same way I don't think Father Ted is weird... just Irish).

However I'm also a big fan of weirder comedy like Chris Morris' work (Blue Jam, Jam, The Day Today, Brass Eye, Nathan Barley) The League of Gentleman and their brilliant new show Psychoville so maybe my comedy-weirdness tolerance is strong.

The Warriors

Someone is going to fuck this up, one day. It's not going to be pretty either.

if zack efron plays any of the parts i will be seriously pissed, that assholes in everything

 

[SprodeMaster]

The 1998 Godzilla with Jeff Golblum, what a piece of shit...

 

[Lyri]

if zack efron plays any of the parts i will be seriously pissed, that assholes in everything

I wouldn't care if he played Rembrant.

 

[Skreeee]

Casablanca.

Though I did hear some Hollywood gossip that Madonna wanted to actually make a modernized remake of it with herself in the key female role, but that was before the shit between her and Guy Ritchie hit the fan. Hopefully it'll never come true. Not only should it never be done, but Madonna shouldn't be allowed to act in anything ever again.

Any film that has any sort of finality in its closing. Because when they restart the film they have to suddenly change all the original stuff up and make it all sequel-able. And it always winds up being fucking stupid.

V for Vendetta

A Clockwork Orange

aslong as he dies some painful embarrasing death like a baseball furies bat up his ass

Why should anyone care about movie sequels? If it isn't appreciated, simply don't watch it.

On topic though, I guess I'm happy that nobody ever made a sequel to Zombie Strippers. That movie was so bad that a sequel could never be good.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

the bad ones

Robin Hood, the one from Disney with the fox people. Since Disney just LOVES to bastardize everything with direct to DVD sequels to everything they fucking make.

That's not a sequel, that's just Mel Brooks being a wonderfully horrible person. and my personal God.

There have been plenty of sequels, prequels and oldschool resurections of films recently, some good, others bad. Whereas I often look forward to a sequel I can find them not up to the standard of the previous film, much to my dissapointment.

Back on topic, I was wondering if you had any films you are glad they haven't made a sequel/prequel for (yet).

2 of mine would be:

(The original) The italian Job
this is a briliant film, and a classic cliff hanger (badum-tish) ending. There could have been a sequel, but there wasn't, which I think would have ruined it.

Monsters, Inc.
I know this is a childs film but watching it back recently was a delight. I'm glad that they havent made a sequel, but I'm half expecting them to do it at some point.


EDIT: I hadnt seen LordCraigus' topic started earlier, so sorry for a little overlap


so feel free to add your own, or even films you did want sequels for (sorry for masses of writing )

The Italian job has had a sequel, well a remake sort of thing. It was crap.

One of mine is Once upon a time in the West.
Although it would have been quite hard to carry on the story anyway.

I did see that one, I just neglected to mention iy

The Rock.
It was great as it is, and because of the title you can't really have a sequel to it, unless you wanna go back to Alcatraz, this time against a small army of Al-Qaeda terrorists

The Rock was 1 hell of a movie, its quite sad when the navy seals get slaughtered

thats only good because in all other films they are portrayed as indestructible killing machines that could cut down trees with their fingernails, throw a grenade at
middle easten head from inside the white house and eat a bowl of nails for breakfest with no milk!

but this proved that they are human and thus increasing the drama and making it a harder task for nick and sean.
