Best Prequels? (beehaw.org)

I'm shooting a movie currently and after a conversation with my director we realized that we couldn't think of a single prequel that we liked. However, we both agreed that there has to be at least one.

What do you think? Are there any good prequels?

The first thing that came to mind, after the fact, was The House of the Dragon the Game of Thrones prequel.

The good ones have been mentioned like Fire walk with me and Better Call Saul, where I think they are better than the ones that came before it.

Maybe I’m cheating a bit here, but Casino Royale is a prequel in a way.

I would argue that Godfather part 2 is the superior movie, and it is a prequel to the first one.

Also headcanon wise, Baby Driver is a prequel to both Drive and The Driver.

Ahh screw it. Let’s just have fun. Always thought the character of Brill played by Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State is supposed to be same guy in The Conversation, and why he is a bitter paranoid old man.

Definitely made the same connection you did with Gene Hackman from “The Converstion” and “Enemy of the State”
