Big Trouble in Little China - Jack fuckin' Burton, yo. And it ends with a cliffhanger of sorts. And instead of San Francisco, I'd like to see him tackle another chinatown in a different city. Can you imagine Jack, with all this newfound knowledge, on his own trying to recruit help thinking all chinatowns are the same? Hilarity ensues.
Looks like we're all on the same page, because that's the first thing I thought of too.

And yet that shitpile made money. Go figure. I liken it to Simone where they made fun of the mass audience where they had a movie with a woman rolling around in a pig pen and people ate it up as a great film. Crappy movies always seem to win over the better films.

M. Night planned on two more movies: Breakable and Broken. I still want to see those.

I want to see a sequel(s) to Lost in Space. They had some great ideas planned for what could have been a cool franchise, and I don't think the movie was as terrible as people seemed to think it was.

I desperately wanted a sequel to Mystery Men, but I doubt that will ever happen.

There have been talks before of a sequel to the Graduate and if they are still planning on making it, now is a good time before we loose any more of the original cast members.

I really wanted to see a sequel to Big Trouble in Little China when Kurt Russell was young enough to pull it off

Considering the last line of Silverado, it was a tease to set us up for a sequel, but never followed through.

Cameron was in active development of the sequel until 9/11, after which he dumped the whole thing. The sequel is dead.

EDIT: Oops, beaten. I should read the second page of a thread before replying to something on the first page.

I'm pretty sure that is the plan for the sequel.

I would have liked to have seen the sequel to the American Godzilla movie. Not that I liked the first one (quite the opposite), but I've read the story synopsis for the sequel and it is more in the spirit of the actual Godzilla, though not exactly. Certainly, it would have been more entertaining than the first one. If you've never read the synopsis (apparently Toho did before filming Godzilla vs. Megaguirus), you can do so here.

A prequal to Rounders. The story of how Matt Damon's charactor made his bankroll in the first place.

that better not be the plotline of the sequel. i don't think id4 has sequel material. it'd either be extraordinarily farfetched or a total rehash. (yes, farfetched even for an alien invasion movie).

the very best i could suggest is to get the aliens on the ground.

As for me, I wouldn't mind sequels to:
Buffalo 66
The 25th Hour
Cast Away
Unbreakable

Oh, and the more I can get of the Before Sunrise/Sunset series, the better.

I'd like to see K's Heaven, Hell & Purgatory trilogy completed, another Twin Peaks film, another Evil Dead film of course, and i know this is a bit of a reach but i'd like to see a follow-up to Ingmar Bergman's Scenes From A Marriage. I'm sure the whole world wants to know where Marianne and Johan are some 30 years later. see, dreams do come true.
