Saw this come up on Twitter today. Do you own any movies in your library that are a sequel but you don’t have the original movie? Some people said they had (X2 and Spider Man 2 were some responses) but I am trying to think if I do and I don’t think so. Do you? ---

Good one. I owned a legit copy of _Drunken Master II_ before I found a legit (?) DVD of the classic original. What else…Overflow detected. Awesome thread idea. ---

Friday the 13th Part II. I found it on Amazon at a ridiculous low price on blu ray so I bought for it $5.00 or so. The Dark Knight and the The Dark Knight Rises. I’ve rented Batman Begins and I’ll buy it when I find a good deal on it. I picked up the two Dark Knight movies during Amazon Black Friday sales. ---

Rock 'n Roll High School Forever. I haven’t even seen the first one. And I also own one of the Chronicles of Narnia movies, but not the first one. I intend to buy the two I don’t have, but haven’t got around to it. ---

> [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > I also have _Gremlins 2_ You say that in public? Oh, the humanity. I think I have Godfather II on DVD, legit copy bought off a Blockbuster fire sale, but the original is just some bits on a hard drive somewhere. ---

One of the Saw movies… 3, I think. It’s the only one I’ve even seen, it was in the sale bin for 99 cents. No desire to see any of the others or to watch this one again… ---

Men In Black 2. I really enjoyed the first one. I found the MiBII DvD for something like $1.99 and thought how bad can it be for that price? I still feel like I got ripped off. ---
