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.

I wouldn't say it's better than the original, but the prequel to Silence of the Lambs called "Red Dragon" was very good IMO. 7.2 rating on IMDB, 7.4 audience score on Rotten Tomatoes suggests that it was fairly well received.

Certainly worth a watch if you enjoyed Silence of the Lambs. In comparison, the sequel to SotL, "Hannibal", was an abomination.
