Movies screaming for sequels.

I was watching Ronin once again and it struck me how bad I want this masterpiece to have a sequel. It feels like a setup for a trilogy of spook movies. It might be so just because Ronin is so stingy with details about anything (one of the reasons for its greatness), or because it ends in a shadow instead of clarity (the same thing really). Nevertheless this is one world I want more of.

What movies do you want sequels for?
It doesn´t have to be a sequel - I would be happy if these two actors - Robert DeNiro and Jean Reno - would just make another movie together ... I don´t know if it´s the role they tend to play or their acting, but I like every movie with them... (I think, I might have missed a few). Though a follow-up to Ronin would be nice - the style and character interaction were great - On some level, it was a Shadowrun Movie (just forget the cyberware and magic - but you have it all - the incompetent would-be runner, the Rigger, the old-seasoned samurai - er, ronin, Johnsons that want to screw with you... :) )

One movie I would love to see a sequel to is Zero Effect. It was a mid-90s movie with Bill Pulman and Ben Stiller. Pulman plays the worlds greatest detective who is also socially inept. Stiller was his assistant. Sounds lame, but it was an incredible movie. Directed by a Kasden (Lawrence, I think). Brilliant movie, and a sequel could, in theory, be quite good.

And how about Reign of Fire? I want more dragons!
I like your ID4 ideas.
But probably wouldn't like a movie with that theme - I don't like post-Apocalyptic movies, where the human race already is wasted.

As for Reign of Fire, wouldn't it be hard to have a sequel when they established that there was
only 1 male dragon, and they killed it.
The sequel would basically be them hiding out until all the female dragons slowly died of starvation while trying to kill as many humans as they could.

As for me, I most want a sequel to Conan the Barbarian.
I want that so much it bugs me every time I finish watching the original.

And I'm itchin' for a sequel to X-men 2.
Just the thought of the Dark Phoenix saga being diplayed on screen gives me geek-bumps. :D
 

I'd love a sequel to Ronin as well. The only problem is John Frankinheimer is dead now, so it would have to be directed by someone else. Perhaps Paul Greengrass or Doug Liman ?

Part of me would like a sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon , but part of me thinks that movie is more potent if it stands on it's own.

I would say Clerks but Kevin Smith is allready working on the sequel for that.

How about Big Trouble in Little China ? How about another Cockney-slanged flic from Guy Ritchie? (trying to forget Swept Away here).

Independence Day...

I don't want the sequel so much as the prequel, set when the dragons were taking over the world. It'd be neat to see attack planes and choppers vs. dragons, or see them incinerating major cities. The movie poster depicted this, and I was really disappointed the movie didn't show anything like this....

At the very end of Buckaroo Banzai, there's a tag that says.. Buckaroo Banzai Returns in Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League. I would have loved to see that sequel. Alas...

Wasn't that basically what became Big Trouble in Little China?
