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

Napoleon Dynamite

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/

God I hope there is never an Interstellar sequel. It could only diminish the original.

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 1 points 15 hours ago

I totally agree

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

What would a Pan's Labyrinth sequel even look like?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

2001 A Space Odyssey has a sequel

[–] Klear@quokk.au 3 points 18 hours ago

And it's actually great! It just exists in the shadow of the original.

Oh, didn't realize that. BTW I'm adding more movies as I think of them

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)
