Probably John Wick. I love the movies but the most impressive thing about them is that they were able to take a relatively straight forward revenge action movie and turn it into one of the most consistent film series currently on the market. I can't imagine the filmmakers expected to be making sequels to that movie several years down the road.

Good choice.

At one point.
watching part 3, my youngest son (who hadn’t seen the first two and just happened to grab a seat while I was watching the last installment) turned to me and asked, “this all started because someone killed his dog 3 movies ago”?

Mad Max. I've grown to appreciate the original over time, but upon initial viewing I couldn't believe it spawned the sequels that it did (I saw parts 2 and 3 before the original).

Very good choice. That's quite the plot premise summary by your son, Riv. It really did escalate drastically because of a doggy.

I'd throw the "Before" trilogy in there (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight). Richard Linklater placing the same actors as the same characters in movies released 9 years apart in real life and in-universe is pretty meta.

Also, I'll put The Matrix on here. The first movie's ending is one of the best in film history period, with Neo now able to fly and leaving it up to the viewer to imagine he and the humans continuing quest to stop the machines. Like the turning point in a war with one side gaining some serious momentum and a Superman-like advantage.

While I liked both the sequels as both technical marvels and storytelling efforts (The Animatrix helped flesh out the world-building substantially as well), I wouldn't have thought as a kid in 1999 that I'd be seeing not one but TWO Matrix sequels just four years later.

Indiana Jones.


Because the second movie was objectively awful. Tried watching it recently, and just could not do it.

Highlander, the sequels add nothing and yet sequels, tv and cartoons. Why? Money!

lI can't believe thematically speaking we got a third Terminator and beyond tbh, I get the cash grab and all and that's why any and all sequels mentioned here will have been made but cmon... also ion my list:

Trainspotting
Dumb and Dumber
Lion King
The Hangover
Home Alone


and those are just off the dome there are many many more out there that were made for a quick buck with no thought towards quality
I'd be disappointed if they'd never released a Terminator movie based on the future though, like we only got flashes of it in 1 and 2. Were they good movies? No, but I'm glad they exist.

I'll still watch The Phantom Menace over and over for that matter.

I agree w. that. The Matrix ended just the right way.
I especially agree because I wasn’t a huge fan of the sequels, for various reasons.
