10 Movies That Don't Need Sequels, According to Reddit – Collider
Reddit would rather let sleeping dogs lie and not see sequels for these movies.
Some films leave such a great lasting impression they stand alone as masterpieces. These films captivated audiences so much that creating a sequel risks diluting the film's magic.
Reddit users in this thread shared different movies with endings so satisfactory that producing a sequel would be antithetical. Even though the films were enjoyable and extremely special, they are not worth tarnishing with a sequel.
Based on the comic book series 2000 AD, the film is set in a dystopian future where society has crumbled, and Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the judge, jury, and executioner amidst the chaos. The film became popular as it stayed true to the original comic book, as well as Karl Urban's performance as Judge Dredd.
However, despite its popularity, one Reddit user, pm8rsh88, said that as much as they wanted one, "it's been so long now that the Karl Urban film works amazing as a one-off." Another user added that while they could make more films based on the character, they should never make a direct sequel to Karl Urban's Dredd.
Named one of the best sleeper hit movies, Napoleon Dynamite revolves around Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder), a socially awkward teenager who navigates the challenges of high school life. The film's deadpan humor, quirky characters, and nostalgic portrayal of small-town life made the film popular.
Although the film became a cult hit, some Reddit users like SeAndre_3000 said that it's such a unique and uplifting movie with the perfect ending, adding that there is "no point in risking tarnishing it with a sequel. After all, the film's charm lies in its standalone nature.
Starring Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, the film revolves around him during significant historical events and his perspectives. The film won viewers over as it had heartwarming storytelling that explored the themes of love, friendship, and destiny.
As the film ended with wrapping up Forrest's life story, audiences already got a sense of closure. Forrest Gump never got a direct sequel, but a few Reddit users were okay with that. For instance, Reddit user ChrisNYC70said that they are glad they didn't go with the sequel idea.
Released in 1985, The Breakfast Club was one of the great hangout movies. The film was set in a high school on a Saturday detention, bringing together five diverse students, described as the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal. The Breakfast Club became a cult classic mainly for its witty dialogue and for portraying the complexities of teenage life.
However, despite it being a cult classic, Reddit user BullDude4u named The Breakfast Club as a movie that should never have a sequel. Therefore, the film could be best appreciated as a standalone masterpiece that audiences continue to love watching.
Set in the 1820s American frontier, The Revenant follows Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), a fur trapper that was left for dead after a brutal bear attack. Viewers watched as Hugh went on a treacherous journey of survival to track down those who betrayed him. The powerful performances and stunning cinematography of the harsh wilderness made the film popular.
Ultimately, the film ends with Hugh finding closure and a resolution to his personal quest. Reddit user narcdup1 said that The Revenant "perfectly ends up the story" and gives the perfect amount of backstory, that it "doesn't need a prequel/sequel".
Interstellar was a film with many philosophical sci-fi adventures. The film starred Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, and it is set in a near-future Earth plagued by government catastrophe. From there, a team of astronauts embarks on a journey to save humanity.
The film left audiences sparking discussions and pondering on the vastness of the universe, making it an enriching movie. Reddit user PeteTownsendPTsaid that they'd "love and devour a sequel," but they say it's such a wholesome movie on its own.
Based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy, The Road follows a father and son's journey through a barren landscape, and audiences watch as they strive to survive and maintain their humanity. Audiences were captured by the film's bleak and haunting portrayal of a devastated world.
Overall, The Road ended with a bittersweet ending, especially since the viewers watched the emotional bond between the father and son, portrayed by Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee. Reddit user UnfinishedThings named The Road as the film to not get a sequel saying that "The story is told" and "we don't need to know what happened to the boy afterwards."
The Princess Bride tells the story of Westley's (Cary Elwes) quest to rescue his true love, Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright). The film's timeless charm and popularity made The Princess Bride a classic comedy movie that just get better with age.
As the movie ended with a complete and satisfying story, wrapping up all the character arcs, the audience got the closure they needed. A Reddit user named The Princess Bride as a film that doesn't need a sequel, and also says that it shouldn't be rebooted either.
Starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, the film revolves around a disaffected office worker (Norton) who forms an underground fight club with the mysterious soap salesman Tyler Durden (Pitt). Fight Club's slick style and charismatic leads captured audiences while also being a potent critique of consumerism and toxic masculinity.
The film ended with a powerful and shocking conclusion that shocked audiences. However, Reddit user blackmagicman named Fight Club as a film that should never get a sequel.
Inception follows the story of a skilled thief, Dom (Leonardo DiCaprio), where he enters peoples' dreams to obtain or implant information. On top of this mind-bending narrative of Inception, audiences were grasped by its stunning visuals.
Although the film left room for interpretation and discussion, some fans say that they don't want a sequel. For instance, Reddit user trylobyte says that the "ambiguous ending of Inception is just perfect." They also said that if there were to be a spin-off series, there should be nothing related to Dom's fate or the other characters.

Tony Ferguson is not ranked in the Top 15 at 155 pounds.
That’s why Paddy Pimblett doesn’t expect to earn a spot on the lightweight ladder with a victory over the former interim champion when they collide at the upcoming UFC 296 pay-per-view (PPV) event, locked and loaded for Sat., Dec. 16, 2023 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t see myself being put in the Top 15 after a win against Tony,” Pimblett told The Energized Show (transcribed by MMA News). “Bobby Green didn’t, and Bobby Green fought — beat him before I did, you know what I mean? So, I can see me fighting someone like that: Bobby Green, Grant Dawson, you know what I mean? Someone like that to get in the rankings.”
Pimblett and Green have a score to settle after this “fathead” incident at UFC San Diego.
“I mean, that’s what I can see after I beat Tony,” Pimblett continued. “Like, especially if the big fella Conor’s [McGregor] coming back in UFC 300, lad. The missus will be due a couple of weeks after that. So, it’d be nice to get another, another fight in, get another payday in before the twins are due.”

The promotion is currently working on its lineup for the blockbuster UFC 300 card in April, which may be headlined by former two-division champion Conor McGregor. Pimblett vs. Green would be a strong addition, assuming “King” prevails this weekend at UFC Austin.

In a grudge match, undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over José Benavídez Jr. (28-3-1, 19 KOs) in a non-title WBC special event on Saturday night’s Benavidez-Andrade card at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Returning after nearly 2 1/2 years, Charlo was stronger than the aggressive Benavidez and won most of the rounds. Benavidez was wobbled in the tenth. Scores were 98-92, 99-91, 100-90.
Give props. He fought well. He knows how to fight.
Charlo did a good job moving, countering, and even leading in many rounds of the fight. Yes, he did well. However, I question if he can even stop Canelo who is much stronger than Benavidez Jr. Charlo will need to beat Canelo on points should they fight. I dont see a KO for Charlo against Canelo.
lol Canelo has never been knocked down let alone knocked out. Charbum absolutely has no chance of even hurting him. Charbum will be the one getting laid out if they fight.
Please nobody wants to see Charlo vs Canelo. The only fight for Canelo is Benavidez.
Benavidez vs Bivol is what we really want to see
Charlo very dominant, Jose put a valiant effort, but lacks fundamental
He should be ashamed he could not ko Benavides
Boxing should not let this fights go on
In the weigh in looks like over weight boxer is not a problem
But this like putting one live on risk
Charlo was too strong for Benavides
Can’t say I’d be too proud beating a guy two weight classes below me. And he couldn’t stop him? The commentators kept saying solid performance by Charlo and i get it .. he was out 40 months. But still, this was a super middle weight fighting a blown up welterweight. I guess that’s what Benavidez gets for all the pre fight talk. I pick Plant and Morrell over Charlo.
Not to bad after almost three years without fighting but nowhere close to challenge any one of the big names at Super Middle. Plant, Mibilli, Morrel and Benavidez would smoke him.
This fight did not settle in my gut correctly because Charlo missed weight. Under such weight related circumstances, Benavidez hung in there with a solid chin. Charlo’s punches were creative, and his jabs were mean.
Agree E man …Charlo had some good moments….but clearly that finisher that beast we are use to seeing .,.not there… hopefully it is rust…but …Charlo struggling with something else…can clearly see it…I hope that Charlo is “ok” outside the ring…
Yep, how good would charlo have been if he had of sweated off the extra 3-4 pounds and actually made weight ? Possibly a more even playing field for the smaller Benevidez Jr……
Hopefully charlo fights plant next
Not bad for charlo.good fight to get the rust out! Benavidez was talk,talk bullishht and no pop in his punches! Great sportsmanship on charlo at the post fight interview. Bobo gettn’ KO by benavidez next fight! Its a total mismatch, bobo too weak for the hard punching destroyer in benavidez! Bobo’s promoters don’t realize the danger they put him for picking this fight. Benavidez by brutal KO of the year on the 8th or a “no-mas” call out!
Dominated a welter weight (blown up). He got rounds in and maintained composure surprisingly.
I’m at the fight and there are no ring girls! WTF!!!
Benavidez about to stop Boo-boo. One more round
Done.
It was expected! A bobo blow out! Benavidez is in onother level, and not the bums bobo is used to fight and strugled with when he was champion! The most “avoided” title just was too big for bobo!
I don’t think it was right that Charlo be allowed to come in so heavy in violation of the contractual catch weight limit of 163. He likely was close to 170 when he stepped into the ring, more than 7-8 lbs heavier than Benavidez. He enjoyed a height advantage too. Totally unfair. Credit to Jose for putting up a valiant effort. Charlo couldn’t knock him out either. I personally am not very impressed with Charlo. He wants the big money that fighting Canelo or David Benavidez would bring, but it’s obvious that he would be no match for either. His more immediate goal should be to fight Plant, so he can save face and exact revenge for Plant slapping him. This is the reason that Plant slapped him too, to force him to choose Plant as an opponent with the title on the line.
Jose Benavides was out boxed. He did show he has a decent chin. Charlo didn’t have enough punching power to stop Benavides. Charlo will not beat Alvarez.
Just wanted to note….Charlo …I am praying for you….you are a man before a fighter…In your corner in “life”….hang in there champ…
Charlo is done at top level. I think Plant beats him at 168 and benavidez would knock him out as quick as he did Andrade. If he has to fight Adames at the middleweight limit, then he loses that too.
Way to go Charlo!
ok, lets just hope that we dont now have
canelo-charlo. if so, another hard pass for me
Surprised he couldn’t KO him. Jose Jr, a career Welterweight comes in at a catch weight of 163. Meanwhile Charlo, a natural Middleweight comes in 3.4# over at 166.4. So you had an overweight out of shape Welterweight fighting a Super Middleweight.
