Some movies feel complete on their own, but others leave us wanting more! Here are 10 movies that could benefit from a sequel (or a third installment). From Alita: Battle Angel and Megamind to Prince of Egypt and Assassin’s Creed, these films have rich worlds and unfinished stories that deserve to be continued. Do you agree with my picks?

, I reflect on five movies I loved as a kid that just don't hold up as well anymore. From talking animal movies like Yogi Bear and Underdog, to secret agent guinea pigs in G-Force, I take a look at the films I once thought were hilarious and exciting—only to realize they haven't aged as well. While these movies brought plenty of joy in my younger years, rewatching them now has made me question what I was thinking back then. Join me as I dive into these childhood favorites and share my honest thoughts on why they don't quite stand the test of time! Feel free to leave your own childhood movie guilty pleasures in the comments.

These are in no particular order. Just because one is higher up on the list, it doesn’t mean I think it’s better. This is off the top of my head. Where’s (The Godfather, Terminator, The Matrix?): Those are rated R, so not on the listWhere’s Harry Potter, Mission Impossible, etc? Those have waaaaay more than 3 films. Those are franchises not trilogies.

If you’re wondering “Where is “The Dark Knight?!”, I do agree, it is a great sequel, but it’s also on literally everybody else’s lists. With the exception of the last few top spots, I wanted to go with sequels that are still great, but weren’t super obvious.“Where is Terminator 2: Judgement Day?!”: It’s rated R, so I haven’t seen it, also see answer to “Where is “The Dark Knight?!”“Where is “Aliens?!”: See previous answer
