My first vote is "Bad Taste". . . It has all the elements needed, , Derek was last seen on the spaceship/house, , and the other three were left alive on earth (Hope that didn't spoil the movie for anyone). . . .
One movie, from quite a few years ago, I would have liked to see continue with a sequel or two was Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.
I'll watch any Jason movie that comes out and probably the next Phantasm movie, if they make it.

Quite right. Horror movies quickly become an addiction. For better or ill I'll blow $10 every time someone releases a
Friday the 13th movie or like pillar of the genre.
Here's a random one:
Adrenaline. It was basically a 70 minute version of
Mind Ripper that took place in a
Mad Max-looking police-state Russia, but damn it, it was fun! I think it would be kind of neat to follow that up with something slow and dreary that includes a where-are-they-now, since the objective was to earn their freedom.
They should also consider making
Trilogy of Terror an actual trilogy. Haha. Come on! The marketing practically writes itself!
"What ever happened to Rosemary's Baby"

damn, what did happen to the baby? lol
The great thing is Mia is still alive, she could totally play the role of the aging mother, by now the baby would be an adult and ready to reign some evil on the world
oh well

Ahem....I'm all grown up now. (http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/lol-065.gif)
The Thing (1982) (so much more that could be done with this concept).
The Omega Man (seriously it might have been interesting to see how the future really did play out)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (same thing)
Quatermass (would love to see another film but it would have to be pretty awesome to live up to its predecessors).
Phantasm 5, Bubba Nosferatu, and Spider-Man 4 are at the top of my list to see.
I'd like to see a Night of the Creeps sequel, but I don't know if I'd want to see a new cast and I doubt the old cast would be up for it at this point.
On the topic of Fred Dekker movies, I'd say the same thing for The Monster Squad.
I want one more Phantasm sequel, just to put an actual ending to the story instead of giving us that cheap "continuing cycle" bullsh!t we got with OblIVion.
I'll watch Re-Animator sequels as long as Jeffrey Combs is willing to star in them.
I want to say "no" to a 4th Evil Dead, especially considering all of the comic book and video game material that's been done since Army of Darkness. If one should ever come to pass though, get rid of the retarded little robot hand and put the chainsaw back where it belongs...
But what I'm really keeping my talons crossed for is a sequel to Second Sight... :teddyr:
While I know it would stink if it were made now, I wish they had continued (as they teased) The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai.
I'd also like to see other stories (not really sequels) in the universe of Twice Upon a Time, the 1983 Lucas-produced cartoon. Few people have seen it these days, and it will apparently never be released on DVD, but it is a fantastic movie. The takes on superheroes and fairy godmothers are wonderful, and the animation, though kind of crude, is very original and fun to watch. Much more could be done with this world.

If you're curious enough to check 'em out, there's a Buckaroo Banzai comic mini-series out there. I picked up the first issue right before I stopped reading comics and it was okay.

Ah, right, speaking of comics, for those of you who were disappointed by the sequel to
Battle Royale (or just wanted more), it is actually worth checking out the book and subsequent Manga series by Koushun Takami. They actually take the time to develop the characters and plot appropriately and are a really nice read.

I loved the series, but it's hard to swallow if you're only a casual comic reader. It's approximately 20 installments that cost $10 each and for those who are easily grossed out or offended by graphic sex and violence, every issue is packed with the stuff. Sometimes there's a little too much crying and beaming smiley faces for me, but it does create a disturbing contrast to the "adult material". I really need to get the last few installments one of these days...
Speaking of manga that's better than the movie, I can't give a higher recommendation to everyone than the Uzumaki paperbacks. If you saw the movie, you haven't seen anything, because Junji Ito's stuff is crazy. I don't mean Norman Bates crazy, I mean bats**t nightmare Clive Barkerish type crazy! Fewer installments to pick up than Battle Royale and personally more satisfying. Though both are great if you've got the time, cash and determination to hunt them all down.
The Illustrated Man. Just do three more stories from the book, like Kalidascope (sp?)
I don't mind sequels. They can be fun. I just don't like the idea of remakes. Take King Kong for example. A modern sequel where they return to Kong Island or something along those lines has some definite possibilities, and it could be very entertaining and original, but remaking an already great film is just lame, and I refuse to see it. If you love a film as much as Peter Jackson claims to love Kong, why would you want to remake it? Seems to me you'd be more likely to want to finance a rerelease of the original than to tamper with it. Jackson could have done that and then made a sequel afterwards. Oh but wait a minute, you actually need imagination to do that!

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with
King Kong either (and this is from someone who actually watched it), aside from the action sequences (the Kong Vs. Z-Rex Twins was definitely the highlight of the show though). You could probably catch those on YouTube anyway, so why bother with the rest of it?
