The recent discussion on Real Genius reminded me how that was a movie where when the credits start rolling you wish you could keep following the characters some more. Another movie like for me is Get Shorty. I want to see the next day on that movie set and the next. The characters are just that entertaining (unfortunately the actual sequel Be Cool did not live up to the promise but this is more about your imagination as a viewer anyway). What are some movies you would like to just keep going? ---

**Harry Potter** series. I know it needed to end and I’m glad she ended it at the natural point, but I was ready to read so much more with my favorite characters. I wish instead of these Fantastic Beasts movies, she had just whipped up a new story in the same universe that was 200 years earlier or something so no references to Harry Potter or Voldemort, etc. would have happened. ---

_ **Pulp Fiction** _ and _ **Goodfellas** _, fer sure. I could easily sit through another hour or two of both. ---

Not a movie but I think there could be about ten more _Lonesome Dove_ mini-series. Even if 1/2 of them are just about Gus sitting on a porch,annoying Call. ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > you wish you could keep following the characters some more. I loved _Time Bandits,_ but the ending leaves a lot of questions unresolved. I went home from the theater right away, and wrote an additional scene (and I’d never written anything before, I must’ve felt pretty strongly). ---

**The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai** hyped a sequel at its end, but that never really emerged. I would’ve been there for it. ---

I saw **Interstellar** for the first time yesterday and, even at 2 hours 50 minutes, I wouldn’t have had any problem watching another hour. Fantastic! ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > **The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai** hyped a sequel at its end, but that never really emerged. I would’ve been there for it. The thing is, the original film was released in conjunction with a novelization, but, while there is a sequel novel, I am not sure whether he has even considered adapting it into a screenplay. ---

_The Neverending Story_ comes to mind, because it should have not ended, given the title. ---

Wow, ignorance fought. I never watched that when it came out, because I knew I had stuff to do the week after, and I’d have to leave the theater. ---

Valley Girl The original 1983 version, not the crappy remake. I think Julie has some explaining to do. And I want to hear that conversation! She dumped Randy to please her spoiled brat friends, and she did so in the most ruthless, cold hearted manner posible. No talking it over, nothing. Just ripped his heart out of his chest. Now Randy is supposed to just forget about how shitty she was to him? Her so called friend Loryn fooled around with Tommy and may even be pregnant by him. Poor Fred is stuck in the middle of the caos back at the prom. Yeah, there were some loose ends there. ---

Back to the Future 3. How did Doc explain the train hijacking and wreck? Surely the engineer figured out it was him. How did Doc build a Flux Capacitor in 1885? And what about 1955 Doc? What happens to him? Does he live to invent the time machine in 1985 and live in perpetuity? Do any of them ever meet their past/future self? what happens if they did? Can they touch themselves or is it like Time Cop where the same matter can’t occupy the same space?
