None. Usually sequels are just to make more money off the first story. The result of this is that the sequel is usually more rushed plot-wise, flashier (maybe to fill in the gaps where lack of creativity could not support), and most of all, it seems as if the storylines of sequels are just more confusing and fast paced. Maybe this is due to the fact that most of the creativity was used on the first movie, then when it becomes popular the second movie is just rushed to make more money.

Office Space. Just so we could see Peter Gibbons in completely misery at a totally different job 10 years down the line.

Two old-time movies I wish they had made sequels to... but ONLY if they stayed with the original theme.

Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang
Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (not the freaky one that sucked with Johnny Depp - the original one).

"Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" is the sequel in the books, but Roald Dahl hated the 1971 "Willy Wonka" movie so much, that he refused to allow a movie sequel to be made.

Bebe Kids.

I've always felt empty and unsatisfied whenever that movie ended. Loved that movie and still got it.....on VHS.

Well, there was a sequel of sorts for Starman. It was a short-lived TV series:

As for me, I'd like to see a sequel for True Lies.
