Beauty and the Beast 2. I love Tim Curry

Also Aladdin 2

Real quick, I hope pic unrelated because Quarantine 2 The Terminal is absolute dogshit

"Return to House on Haunted Hill" was pretty good IMO..not as good as the 1st, but can't go wrong with more Jeffrey Combs!!

Legit never heard of the sequel, but Mercedes Mason? Count me in! I will have a look, thanks for the rec :D

I will throw in She Creature with Carla Gugino. Not the best movie, but def better than expected.

She’s amazing in this! She starts off as pretty weak but then becomes a strong leading lady .

Tower of Terror. (I believe it did have a limited run on cable tv after it’s release, but still a straight to dvd movie) super underrated and one of the best of Disney’s theme park ride movies

“Wrong Turn 2” is fantastic and possibly the best film in the franchise.

24 Hours to Live

The John Hyams Universal Soldier sequels. The Maniac Cop sequels.

It's insane how fucking good the Universal Soldier sequels are.

Lion King 1 1/2 is basically Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and is quite entertaining. Aladdin and the King of Thieves is also a fun watch (especially Robin Williams).

i'm pretty sure Freeway is a straight-to-video movie and it's really great. Kiefer Sutherland and Reese Witherspoon star. you might need to give it some time to get good if you try it out, if you don't like the beginning !! :)

the scene in the courtroom is especially REALLY good

Are you sure that's not your nostalgia talking?

u/Heavy_Swimming_4719 avatar

I'm quite sure.

Alright, I'll believe you when you say that you love it.

u/Heavy_Swimming_4719 avatar

I don't know but I was unaware of a sequel to American [REC] and now I want to check it out.

I almost didn’t because I thought Quarantine was just a cheap rip-off of REC and they would certainly do the same with REC 2 but it was a good movie on its own.

quarantine 2 was a good time

Both the direct to video Cinderella sequels are actually good to me. Especially considering the quality of most of the Disney sequels from that time.

I don’t care what any of you say, but Kronk’s New Groove is high art
