we’ve excluded movies that are
considered reboots number 10 monsters
University I’m officially a college the
magical world filled with creatively
designed monsters and visuals first seen
in monsters Inc is given a new lease on
life in this Disney Pixar film we’re
gonna be real scarers betcha yeah by
taking us back to when Mike and Sulley
were studying to become scarers the
studio’s first attempt at a prequel
didn’t only earn them rave reviews and
over seven hundred million dollars at
the box office
but it once again delighted the young
and young at heart there’s no one type
of scarer the best scare is used their
differences to their advantage
number 9 prometheus that’s beautiful
though it’s filmmakers claimed
prometheus isn’t directly linked to the
Alien franchise the fact that it’s set
in the same world and takes place prior
to those sci-fi flicks lands it here
thanks to a visually stunning design
top-notch special effects and
enthralling acting the movie was one of
the highest grossing films of 2012
it’s success reignited interest in
Ridley Scott’s vision of
extraterrestrial creatures and spurred
talks for a Prometheus sequel number
eight red dragon the pieces of mirrors
make their eyes look alive he wanted an
audience after watching The Silence of
the Lambs few people ever forget the
terrifying Hannibal Lecter how could
catch him carry in red dragon we’re
asked to delve into the mind of the
serial killer psychiatrist before he
meets Clarice Starling no I know I’m not
smarter than you then how did you catch
me you had disadvantages what
disadvantages

thrilling story filled once more with
horrific crimes and interesting
characters that are bolstered by
excellent acting and its creepy
atmosphere
number seven Star Wars Episode three
Revenge of the Sith it may be the sixth
movie to be released as part of the Star
Wars saga but it said three years
following the Clone Wars and is thus a
prequel to George Lucas’s epic space
opera
Revenge of the Sith didn’t only managed
to surpass the mixed reviews of episode
1 & 2 to earn many critics and fans
praise but was also the highest grossing
film of 2005 but Jedi are no more not if
anything to say about it I am
number six Indiana Jones and the Temple
of Doom
he says they stole their children though
it’ll never compare to Raiders of the
Lost Ark there’s no denying that the
second film in the Indiana Jones
franchise is a creative and strong entry
into the world of prequels with a bit of
a darker tone the Temple of Doom still
serves up a lot of the fantasy adventure
elements we’ve come to love from indie
flix it’s also got fun humor and
Harrison Ford’s undeniable star power
tally number 5 the good the bad and the
ugly
since A Fistful of Dollars and for a few
dollars more take place after the Civil
War the good the bad and the ugly is
considered a prequel in the Sergio Leone
directed dollars trilogy there are two
kinds of people in the world my friend

portrayal of the highly intelligent
chimp Caesar and Oscar nominated visual
effects it was one of the summers most
fun and entertaining flicks as well as a
box-office success
number three the Godfather Part 2 Roger
sajama Tony
Iggy slide but since this gangster film
jumps back and forth between time
periods it’s considered both a prequel
and a sequel to Francis Ford Coppola ‘z
1972 crime epoch
I know it was you afraid of you broke my
heart
whichever way you categorize it there is
no denying it’s a cinema classic though
the main storyline revolves around
Michael Corleone
it’s the narrative following Robert De
Niro’s oscar-winning portrayal of Vito
Corleone that lands the film here
number two The Hobbit an unexpected
journey can I help you that remains to
be seen I’m looking for someone to share
