Aliens The Empire Strikes Back Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban In each case because these movies were the only ones in their series I liked enough that I thought they were worth owning. ---

> [@Mrs.Cake](#): > > Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Oh, that reminded me. I also have _Prisoner of Azkaban_ and _Goblet of Fire_, but not any of the other Harry Potter movies. I love, love, love the books, but the movies were largely disappointing. _Prisoner of Azkaban_ is by FAR the best of the movies. ---

I have several of the _Phantasm_ movies on DVD, but not the original. Still searching for a cheap used copy. PS - but I _do_ have all of the _Evil Dead_ movies. ---

_ **Army of Darkness** _. Also _ **The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.** _ Finally, while not currently in my collection, I’d totally pick up _ **Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior** _ sometime if it was cheap. No interest in the first one. MM2 is as awesome as MM1 isn’t. ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > I don’t even know anyone who owns _Star Trek: The Motion Picture._ I do, but I kid you not, I’ve never put it in and watched it. It just kind of sits there. I think I have Drunken Master 2 as well, but I am not sure if I own Drunken Master 1. I have seen it, though. ---

Another Xmen 2 here. (It’s really superior to X1 or X3). Also Chronicles of Riddick (haven’t watched it yet, picked it up cheap) Technically speaking, Legally Blonde 2 (though it’s on my “to sell” pile after one watch and can’t get out of here fast enough.) Not sure if this counts, but I have Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Chasing Amy, and Clerks, but not Mallrats or Dogma. ---

I think **Iron Man 2** was a much, much better movie than the first one, so it’s the one I own. Diito for **Addams Family Values**. ---

Dark Knighr. My brother owns the first one, and we got him the second one for Christmas the year it came out, but he had already bought it for himself. We could have returned it, but I loved it, too. I own a digital copy of Boondock Saints II. I rented the first one and had a hankering to watch the second, but it wasn’t available for rent, only purchase, and I thought, why not? ---

Star Trek II My Girl 2 Meet the Fokkers For a long time, I owned Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, which I love, but not the original movie, which I didn’t really like. I think I finally picked up a copy of Bridget Jones’ Diary cheap from a rental place that was going out of business. ---

Harry Potter 3 Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I’ve got the Nolan trilogy too, but have no desire for the Tim Burton movies. ---

> [@gonzoron](#): > > Not sure if this counts, but I have Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Chasing Amy, and Clerks, but not Mallrats or Dogma. Clerks was the first in the series, so I’d say it doesn’t count. I’d also say that Dogma and Mallrats are two of Smith’s three best films, so you’re overdue for a trip to the store. 😉 ---

_Babe: Pig in the City_. But not _Babe_, which I should really pick up somewhere. That’s the only one I can think of. I have all the _Star Trek_ movies, including TMP and the J.J. Abrams reboot, except _Nemesis_. I have all the original Alien trilogy, four Terminator movies, and several other series but no other orphaned sequels that I can think of. ---
