Why do we want sequels at all?

Why do we want sequels at all?

Hollywood's given us sequels to many things, both wanted and unwanted, but some of their choices are mystifying.  The following is a gallery of movies that deserved sequels but never got them.  If Warner Bros. really does make a "Green Lantern" sequel, it's a financial gamble to try and squeeze some money out of something they've already invested heavily in, and not a creative decision.  They almost have to make a sequel, even though this one didn't work.

They hired a writer this week for "Thor 2," and this weekend's biggest movie is "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon," and all of this sequel talk and sequel news has us thinking about all the movies we wish they made sequels to, all the promises Hollywood has made and broken over the years, and we decided to put together a list of some of the films that would have most benefitted from another trip to the multiplex.  "Dick Tracy," pictured here, may have just missed our list, but we think there's plenty here to chew on.

Agree?  Disagree?  Let us hear your thoughts on the subject in our comments section, and since it's 4th of July weekend and a subject near and dear to the hearts of film nerds everywhere, we expect fireworks!
