…and you want to go with an overall theme. What films would you add to this list?
FTR, The Wrath of Khan and The Empire Strikes Back don’t count, because there were sequels after them.

Saturdays Franco Zeffirelli’s The Champ
IX Scotland, PA
King Kong
Edited to add: The real one, not any of the remakes.

The World According to Garp
Captains Courageous
Gran Torino
Terms of Endearment and Love Story both had sequels.
Philadelphia.
The Diary of Anne Frank
Harold and Maude
On the Beach
Sunset Boulevard

Maybe there should be a spoiler warning in the thread title.
Bang the Drum Slowly
If this is a marathon of films with no sequels, ***Love Story ***should be omitted, since it was followed by Oliver’s Story with Ryan O’Neil.
Frozen.
You can’t turn around without seeing Frozen these days.
Million Dollar Baby
Iron Giant
The 6th Sense.
Bridge to Terabithia.
The Great Gatsby.
Into the Wild (loved that one).
Romeo & Juliet.
huge spoiler alert…
Lincoln
In these sequels, did anyone who was dead by the end of the first movie come back to life for the second one?
That last scene of him was so heavy-handed I kept expected him to say “Well, I’m off to get assassinated now.”
