Retired “supers”, Bob and Helen, were living a simple life and raising their kids in the suburbs. That is until, Bob, loses his job as a claims adjuster (knocking the boss through several walls will do that). Keeping the sudden unemployment a secret, Bob finds a new career with a secret government organization. Things go bad for Bob and the whole family has to rescue him.

The ending of this movie screams for a sequel! This had an awesome story, great characterization and lots of room for more movies. I’m especially surprised that they didn’t turn it into a regular TV cartoon (like Lilo & Stitch, Emperor’s New Groove, Aladdin and Buzz Lightyear). This has potential to be better than the first movie (which few sequels can do). Incredibles, Rise of the Underminer!

2. True Lies (1994)

Arnold, Jamie Lee and Tom really clicked in this action adventure movie. Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and partner Gib Gibson (Tom Arnold) are secret agents, so secret that their families don’t even know. Helen Tasker (Jamie Lee Curtis) has a little “misadventure” that pulls the whole family into Harry’s profession. Lots of action, adventure and some comedy made this a great flick.

If they could bring the whole cast back (after Governor Schwarzenegger is done playing politics), this would be a great sequel. Have the whole family involved (daughter included) in a fun action packed adventure. Maybe Gib will get to get out of the truck this time.

3. Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

Hit man Martin Q. Blank (John Cusack) is going to his high school reunion. This is a “killer” comedy. While back in his home town of, Grosse Pointe, Martin hooks up with his x-girlfriend, Debi Newberry (Minnie Driver), hoping for forgiveness after abandoning her on prom night. Things turn worse when Martin takes on his next contract, who happens to live in Grosse Pointe! Dan Aykroyd had a great performance as rival hit man, Grocer.

John Cusack and Minnie Driver at their best! I really think this would make a good sequel. Happy couple Martin and Debi dealing with a few problems from Martin’s past? It’s got potential!

4. The Adventure Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! (1984)

This movie is simply hard to describe. Buckaroo (Peter Weller) and the Hong Kong Cavaliers have to stop an alien invasion lead by Lord John Whorfin (John Lithgow). This is packed with famous stars including Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, and Christopher Lloyd.

I realize that we will never see a sequel to this awesome movie. This should have been a huge franchise (with possibly having more movies than James Bond and Friday 13th?) At least our favorite overachiever gets to live on in comic books.

5. Serenity (2005)

Space cowboy, Mal, and his motley crew of misfits go to the big screen for another exciting Joss Whedon adventure. This is the movie continuation of the short series, Firefly (no need to have seen the show to enjoy the movie). River (Summer Glau) is rescued by her bother Simon (Sean Maher) and is chased across space by an assassin called “The Operative”. Mal’s not happy and the crew are enjoying themselves. Great fight scenes (little girl River beats up big man Jayne, played by Adam Baldwin, makes the movie worth watching) and awesome special effects. Many faces from the TV show make an appearance.

I got introduced to the TV show by watching the movie. I’m sorry that I missed the show when it was on TV. I’m actually split on this one, a sequel or bring back the TV show. Either way, more adventures for this crew would be worth the watch.

Post your suggestion in the comments. Would love to hear what other movies people would like to see as sequels!
