1. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

Jack Burton was made to be a serialized hero, in the tradition of Indiana Jones, the Lone Ranger, Ash, and Commander Cody. A care-free, self involved trucker with a wise-ass attitude and occasional ass-kicking skills against the odd and supernatural. There shouldn't be a sequel. There should be a full-on boxed set by now.

2. THE FIFTH ELEMENT

Luc Besson wrote this as an immense epic, but the movie would have would up being way to long, and way too expensive to do at once. They chopped the script in half, filmed the beginning, it made money, and now what? Nothing.

3. FLASH GORDON

It ended with a question mark. You don't end a movie with a question mark unless you mean it. I guess we got our answer.

4. BUCKAROO BANZAI

We saw one part in the middle of a twenty-six chapter story. I think that's brilliant, and wouldn't do a direct sequel, but if we saw part eight, why not follow with part eleven or twelve?

5. BREAKFAST CLUB

Sure, John Hughes pretty much went the family route, lost the human core of his work, and then disappeared, but right before he did, he wrote "Reach the Rock," a mature and introspective character study that convinced me I really do what to know what happened to these kids after all these years.

1. LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL

You cannot tell me that I'm the only person that would have loved to follow Mathilda as she starts to mature into a young hitwoman. That would have been so hot.

2. UNBREAKABLE

M. Night Shyamalan started to weave an intricate and deep super hero tale. He created an original hero, in David Dunn and a villain, in Elijah Price, that were more complex and well developed that any that we've gotten from comic book hero film with decades of available back story. If M. Night can't get us a "Further Adventures of..." flick, maybe he can at least take the helms of the next comic book adaptation.

3. BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO AMERICA

Rumor is there is a sequel, sitting on a shelf, unreleased. That, as they say, bites ass. The original was so clever and funny, it showed the that dumbass duo could play on the big screen. Let's get 'em back up there.

4. SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER, AND UNCUT

Fortunately, unlike Beavis and Butt-head, we still have the option of seeing Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny in new episodes on TV. While it's true that SOUTH PARK remains one of the most consistently funny and offensive shows on basic cable, I'd love to see what Trey Parker and Matt Stone would conjure up with another no-holds-barred at an R-Rated feature.

5. MYSTERY MEN

I think there's more to explore in the world that Kinka Usher and Neil Cuthbert showed us in his unappreciated comedy. I would love to how the world's worst superheroes deal with the pressure of success and what would surely be an influx of start-up super-villains.

1. SILVERADO

They left this thing wide open! Come on!! All four guys are alive and well, they ride off into the sunset and say "We'll be back!"?! And NOTHING? I mean, sure, most people didn't really care that much for it, but still, I did, and this is my website. Or at least 1/3 mine.

2. ZERO EFFECT

Once again, WIDE OPEN!! Series!!! This brainiac mystery, an underseen Holmes/Watson riff, works great as a standalone, but woulda been even better
as TWO standalones.

3. TRUE LIES

Yes, rumors abound that Cameron's gonna get around to TL2, but frankly, 9 years out, my interest has waned in seeing the now-too-old Schwarzenegger go through his paces. But if they'd made one in about 1997 or so ... well ...

4. THE LAST BOY SCOUT

True, this buddy flick neither resuscitated Bruce Willis's career, nor did it jumpstart Damon Wayans's, and most people don't like it. But even so, my website, my rules. Or at least 1/3 my rules.

5. THE LOST BOYS

COME ON!!!! There's a script floating around!!! Kiefer's a celebrity again!! Schumacher's (sorta) making good movies again. The time is now!!
