What are some of the best films that do not yet have a sequel or remake
The first that comes to mind for me is The Breakfast Club and I hope it never does have a sequel or remake
The Princess Bride is another good one
Edit: another one of my favourites is Wall.E, my favourite Pixar movie. There are also several other Pixar movies that don't have sequels or remakes yet
The Fifth Element. And I hope it stays tat way.
Coming this summer: Rob Schneider is the 6th Element!!
Nice try, Hollywood!
Star Wars sequel trilogy. Hollywood really needs to remake all of them. Interestingly, there are two viable options:
The first thing that comes to mind is everything Studio Ghibli. They are mostly great films, and have no sequels or remakes yet and I hope it stays that way.
I'm sure there has to be live action examples but I can't think of any right now.
Inception? I'm always surprised about it getting left alone as it should.
Anytime somebody starts eyeing the rights to it, they get incepted to leave it alone.
Nice one, yes
Galaxy Quest
There's a whole bunch of spin-offs, most of them series. Star something.
District 9 -.-
He said he's currently working on District 10
I think he was talking about this when 9 was released.
True, it's been talked about probably since District 9 came out, but in recent interviews he says there is a partial screenplay written but is just wrapped up in Oats Studios atm
Kung Fury
For those unaware, the sequel has been filmed and ready to go for years but has been blocked from release by law suits.
Ouch.
2001 A Space Odyssey2001 A Space Odyssey has a sequel
Oh, didn't realize that. BTW I'm adding more movies as I think of them
And it's actually great! It just exists in the shadow of the original.
What would a Pan's Labyrinth sequel even look like?
The big Lebowski kind of has a sequel in The Jesus Rolls
It's a popular theory that a lot of Tarantino movies take place in the same universe, and other of his movies are movies that exist in that universe, like Kill Bill may be the pilot that Mia Wallace starred in. I don't believe any of that is outright confirmed, but again kind of a sequel if you buy into that theory.
There was a Napoleon dynamite cartoon series made at one point if you want to count that
Forest Gump was based on a book, and there was a sequel book made- Gump & Co, and I never read it myself but I've been told that the sequel book is actually more of a sequel to the movie than to the original book
You know a lot!
Event Horizon has a sequel in spirit: The Warhammer 40k universe. (Nevermind that 40k was first)
God I hope there is never an Interstellar sequel. It could only diminish the original.
I totally agree
Check out Tapawingo, it's not a sequel but it stars Jon Heder and has the same kinda mood: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14146836/
::: spoiler trolling The Matrix. :::
What are you talking about? They never made them.
Master and Commander. Wonderful movie, but opened at the wrong time. Could have been a nice series of movies.
I mean, there are plenty of highly-rated movies that don't have a sequel (and probably that's a good thing).
The Shawshank Redemption
12 Angry Men
Schindler's List
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
12 angry men was remade
A remake isn't a sequel
Not sure if it was possibly edited, but OP did specify sequel or remake
Good point, though the person you're responding to only said it didn't have a sequel.
Thanks, but was an error on my part; was trying to list stuff that didn't have a sequel or remake. Hadn't ever heard of them, but apparently there were two Indian film remakes and a television remake:

Dark City. And it needs neither.
Master and Commander
Anyone who tries to remake or sequel The Princess Bride will have a special place in hell reserved for them.
The Big Lebowski
ahh that would be impossible to do, the bar is set so high
That's like your opinion man!
(mine too)
ahah yea
No country for old men
Jared Leto as Anton Chigurh.
Demolition Man.
Titanic
How they going to bring the iceberg back? That bad boy is melted for sure.
Does have a sequel:
Ah, Asylum Films, never change
🎶 my heart will go on! 🎶
Elderly Rose as she jumps off the ship: lol, not fucking likely!
Dogma
Event Horizon

Lost in translation
Office Space
Silicon Valley is the sequel.
Judge keeps waffling and there was a title has been kicking around Hollywood for years.
The Dark Crystal
Had a prequel series.
Was superb too.
Chronicle
Always been a fan of the found footage format
Look here you fuck mother, there was nothing wrong with Chappie.
Leave chappie the fuck alone mate.
Chappie is a masterpeace.
Best is suggestive. It's a weird movie but I wish there was more of David Cronenberg's eXistenZ. Maybe a sequel since the movie ended on that possibility. But it's probably going to end up repetitive, if not recursive.
And its an idea that has been explored in different other movies and series anyway. So as much as I liked the style of that movie, upon reflection, maybe it should just stay where it was left.
Black Rain(1989)
Great antagonist, moral ambiguity, and culture clash.
I always thought the ending to Close Encounters was made for a sequel.
Brazil. Considering how weird it is I don’t think it’s in any danger of being remade or getting a sequel.
Collateral. That movie was so ridiculously good.
They never made a sequel to Terminator 2 and, honestly, thank God. 👍
Blade Runner 2049
I really hope they make one, as I believe this sequel was better than the first one and hope that they will keep up the good work
