The first that comes to mind for me is The Breakfast Club and I hope it never does have a sequel or remake
The Princess Bride is another good one
Edit: another one of my favourites is Wall.E, my favourite Pixar movie. There are also several other Pixar movies that don’t have sequels or remakes yet
No country for old men
Jared Leto as Anton Chigurh.
Dogma
Event Horizon
The Fifth Element. And I hope it stays tat way.
Coming this summer: Rob Schneider is the 6th Element!!
Nice try, Hollywood!
Star Wars sequel trilogy. Hollywood really needs to remake all of them. Interestingly, there are two viable options:
- Actually make them good this time. Hire the Andor team to get it right.
- Modernize them even further, so much so that the entire franchise finally dies for good. Make GPT write the script if you want to go all the way. Sink then billion dollars into this train wreck. When you run out of money, sell the Star Wars IP to Netflix or whatever. Then Netflix will bury it for good.
Black Rain(1989)
Great antagonist, moral ambiguity, and culture clash.
Master and Commander. Wonderful movie, but opened at the wrong time. Could have been a nice series of movies.
Thankfully the Rock’s remake seems to have been scrapped (fingers crossed it stays that way), so Big Trouble in Little China (hence my name).
I’d also say The 'Burbs (one of my favorites) but it just got a series.
The first thing that comes to mind is everything Studio Ghibli. They are mostly great films, and have no sequels or remakes yet and I hope it stays that way.
I’m sure there has to be live action examples but I can’t think of any right now.
Inception? I’m always surprised about it getting left alone as it should.
Anytime somebody starts eyeing the rights to it, they get incepted to leave it alone.
Nice one, yes
trolling
The Matrix.
What are you talking about? They never made them.
Kung Fury
For those unaware, the sequel has been filmed and ready to go for years but has been blocked from release by law suits.
Ouch.
District 9 -.-
He said he’s currently working on District 10
I think he was talking about this when 9 was released.
True, it’s been talked about probably since District 9 came out, but in recent interviews he says there is a partial screenplay written but is just wrapped up in Oats Studios atm
Galaxy Quest
There’s a whole bunch of spin-offs, most of them series. Star something.
- The Big Lebowski
- Pulp Fiction
- Napoleon Dynamite
- Tropic Thunder
- Super Bad
- Interstellar
- Forest Gump
2001 A Space Odyssey- Pan’s Labyrinth
- Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny
- Event Horizon
Napoleon Dynamite
Check out Tapawingo, it’s not a sequel but it stars Jon Heder and has the same kinda mood: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14146836/
What would a Pan’s Labyrinth sequel even look like?
God I hope there is never an Interstellar sequel. It could only diminish the original.
I totally agree
2001 A Space Odyssey has a sequel
And it’s actually great! It just exists in the shadow of the original.
Oh, didn’t realize that. BTW I’m adding more movies as I think of them
The big Lebowski kind of has a sequel in The Jesus Rolls
It’s a popular theory that a lot of Tarantino movies take place in the same universe, and other of his movies are movies that exist in that universe, like Kill Bill may be the pilot that Mia Wallace starred in. I don’t believe any of that is outright confirmed, but again kind of a sequel if you buy into that theory.
There was a Napoleon dynamite cartoon series made at one point if you want to count that
Forest Gump was based on a book, and there was a sequel book made- Gump & Co, and I never read it myself but I’ve been told that the sequel book is actually more of a sequel to the movie than to the original book
You know a lot!
Event Horizon has a sequel in spirit: The Warhammer 40k universe. (Nevermind that 40k was first)

Dark City. And it needs neither.
