25 Movies That Definitely Did Not Need a Sequel (Yardbarker)

"Few movies need sequels, but the ones that rake in an abundance of cash at the box office will almost certainly get them, like it or not. And once studios/producers start sequelizing, it's hard to stop. This is how "Trail of the Pink Panther" happens. Or "Curse of the Pink Panther." Or "Son of the Pink Panther." Ten years ago, Todd Phillips' "The Hangover" grossed so much money that the filmmakers had no choice but to figure out a reason to get the three stars into another memory-blanking predicament. This was an egregious capitulation to commerce, but Hollywood has done much worse to much better films. Here's a sad sampling of great movies (and "Weekend at Bernie's") that should've been left alone." - yardbarker.com
