Can anyone think of any more additions for this accolade? Prequels are allowed but not reboots (nor other films which are just different adaptations of the same source material). Thanks.  |

The brilliant The Odd Couple (68) & the crappy The Odd Couple II (98).

I've alerted Conan!
Yikes, I didn't realise this had been on the cards since at least 2004! |

I was at university then so I saw no television and rarely went to the cinema, and the Internet was much less all-pervasive than it is now. |

Thanks!
I made the above link display 100 films, which I thought would be plenty. Looks like I'll have to edit it at this rate. |

Yep, the character has a different name, but given Harry Caul's paranoia it wouldn't be out of character for him to have changed it in the years following The Conversation. Your call- I won't be offended if you give this one a miss 
Well, I'll leave it out then since there is no shortage of official ones. Thanks for all your help. |

Are these definitely part of the same story? (I've never seen either, so please no spoilers.) Gene Hackman plays different characters, for example.

Personally, I blame Take That and their reformation in recent years.
Quite. I'd increase the number of years but there are some quite iconic examples about a decade apart. |

I've got to leave these out, as Rumour Has It is more about/linked to The Graduate than a sequel. |
