Master and Commander. Also from 50 years earlier they could have done more Horatio Hornblower movies with Gregory Peck.
The 1972 biopic of Winston Churchill’s early life “Young Winston” should have been followed with several more, perhaps one a decade with the same actor (Simon Ward) since Churchill was such a larger-than-life figure who lived an extraordinary life.
For some reason, any time I’m channel surfing and land on that, it is ALWAYS the “puffball virus” scene. Which always prompts me to keep surfing. Seriously, I’ve seen the scene four times and no other part of the movie.
I could do with “The Incredibles 2” as well, although at least the sequels (or prequels) to Monsters Inc and Despicable Me will be out in the next year or so.
Could reeeeeeally do without the latest Die Hard installment though.
“Colombiana” started life as a sequel starring Mathilda.
The problem there is that Jack Burton already did.
BTILC was Buckaroo Banzai II after a million script rewrites, so a sequel would have to be… the real BB2.
Prairie Home Companion II would be so great!

Reluctantly agreed. The Reverse of the Medal was fantastic and heartbreaking, but I don’t think the movie would work for the simple reason that the book builds and relies upon a lot of characterization from the novels that precede it.
I’d love to see The Mauritius Command, though. That would be a hell of a movie. Ditto The Ionian Mission or The Fortune of War.
After the Facebook IPO, I think *The Social Network *is due for a sequel.
Sahara. Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt novels are fun to read; and Matthew McConaughey did a good job in playing the main character.
Unfortunately the legal battle between Clive Cussler the author and Philip Anschutz, the producer have pretty much guaranteed there will never be a sequel.
Then again, while I personally liked the movie, it didn’t get rated too high on Rotten Tomatoes. So I’m thinking a sequel would not have happened anyway.
sahara is one of my favorite Bad Movies. I’m still hoping to show it at an upcoming Bad Film Festival, maybe on a double bill with 10,000 B.C.
Oooohhh Great Idea! First of all, that would finally give William Thatcher a chance to get with Kate, the “female blacksmith who bristles at being discriminated against.” (description from Wikipedia)
Wow, I just discovered something cool. Laura Fraser (the female blacksmith) is also the character Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, the understandably nervous executive in the most recent season of Breaking Bad!
Remo Williams: The Adventure Resumes.
Oh Odin, no. Golden Compass was a interesting book full of great images, such as armored polar bears and the kids id-critters. The next two books would depress a hyena and bore a sloth. Horrible horrible preachy books and almost certainly worse films.
Incredibles- but a prequel.
Yes, the prequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit would be nice.
The rest of the A&E Hornblower series, please! Same with the rest of Deadwood & Rome. Not to mention more of the A&E Nero Wolfe films.
Except that Jocelyn is such a bitch and so unworthy of William that I can at least pretend he ran off with the blacksmith babe instead. 
Meh. Too many fridge moments, too preachy.
Condorman needs a sequel. It could be called: Flight of the Condorman.
A Hollywood urban legend, denied by BB’s director in the last question here: http://blog.moviefone.com/2011/08/15/buckaroo-banzai-anniversary-sequel-trivia-director-interview/
No, not really. Any movie with that much great music can’t really be said to have “sucked big time”. Let us just agree on “tragically flawed”?
I am also going to go against the flow: if you watch ONLY the Directors cut of Highlander 2, and be forgiving on #3, they aren’t that bad. The original release of H2 did suck donkey balls, no doubt.:mad:
And, Heavy Metal 2 isn’t bad. Just disappointing. 
I dunno. The Big Lebowski is so damn good that anything can only be disappointing.
