When the sequel is “[First movie]'s 2nd” instead of “[First movie] 2” because the first movie was the name of a famous composer with multiple numbered symphonies, eg Beethoven’s 2nd and lots of others.

I like Meet the Parents → Meet the Fockers → Little Fockers as a series of titles, the next one should be called Little Parents to complete the circle

Then Fock the Parents

then Meet the Parents again! (different parents)

The same film but you couldn’t afford Jim Carrey again so you get Steve Carell to reprise his small role from the original film but this time play the lead.

e.g. Evan Almighty, Three Colours: White etc.

I had this dream where they made a sequel to the Lives of Others. The Stasi surveillance officer from the original film bought a flying taxi and went on to have loads of crazy adventures.

Dont think Jim Carrey was in the Three Colours trilogy.

This is why I prefer the original Synecdoche film

Apocryphal, but probably my favourite concept for a sequel anyway:

I like (*have disdain for) completely ridiculous prequels where for some reason they go to effort to make the technology look a million miles more advanced than in the film they’re prequeling (Prometheus/Alien).
Usually handwaved with some defensive nonsense.
