    Either because they werent successful at the box-office or they were great as standalone movies.

    Most times a great film that has no sequel because it's a historical drama or simply cannot have a sequel because the story has ended.

    Gladiator is an example.

    Unbreakable never got a sequel, but really would have been great if it did. Following his journey as a new superhero would have been wonderful.

    I would like to have seen a sequel to The Truman Show.

    Underrated film that one. I loved it.

    I would liked to have seen Truman adjust to life outside the show, find his girl, sue the Network etc.

    that would have been boring as fuck. Only way it would be good, is if Truman agreed to continue shooting his whole life in the real world. Realizing he cant handle it, eventually shoots himself live, forcing the viewers to examine their own lives and what it's worth.

    Not really. In an age where sequels pretty much are all money-based and common-as-fuck - why not explore the opposite end of the scale?

    The bad guy main character did. Easily could have done another one with Pacino.

    I dunno...maybe they could have explored Pacino´s troubled-cop charcater but I felt Heat was all about the De Niro:
    "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

    Micheal Mann movies tend to have that tie-up-the-loose-ends feel about them anyway...

    That is the first one that came to my mind. Even though Spielberg promised a sequel to be titled 'Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind' he never went back to it. Then after 'E.T.' he said he was done with CE3K and wanted to do more children stuff.
    The sequel is currently filming
    no need to make a sequel for this. It would suck anyway.

    Yeah, your gritty Northern housing-estate-based Ken Loach human-condition dramas don't count, kid.

    ´And now, the long-awaited sequel by revered director, Ken Roach, which details a recovering alcoholic smack-addicted, Orange-walker from a council estate in Glasgow whose Mum works for the social, and has a part-time job on Saturday afternoonns selling puke-pies and piss-coffee along with blowing hapless footie-scum at Celtic Park.
    Against the backdrop of modern-post-referendum depression, a chance encounter with the now, seriously fucked-by-Parkinson´s Disease Billeh Connery, this is a harrowing yet honest tale of life in the sickly North, and the long-journey of a free-thinking hero across boglands and grimy streets and across the Oirish Sea to finally meet the legendary, Jimmeh ´Mick´ Granton and decipher the secrets of the Revolutionary Workers Gang    ´

    ....ahhh fuck off!!!
