Sequels get a bad rap — cash grabs, recycled jokes, and failed attempts to recapture the magic of the original. But every now and then, the follow-up not only works…it becomes legendary.

This week, we build our Mount Rushmore of Movie Sequels, breaking down why these four films nailed it where so many others fail. Plus, an honorable mention to a movie which many call one of the greatest films of all time — though it’s a bit too slow for my personal rewatch list.

We’ll dive into why these follow-ups worked, how they stacked up against their originals, and what the future holds for Hollywood’s nostalgia machine.
