   I'm the one who's embarrassed, as I overlooked the most famous IV of   
   all: "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" (the movie we always just   
   called "Star Wars" in its later form).

   I guess you take it where you can find it. Why come up with new ideas   
   for movies when you can make a mint just making the same one over and   
   over? The sad thing is that many of these sequelas are to movies that   
   IMO are not worth watching to begin with, like the gross-out humor of   
   the "American Pie" series, now in its 3rd rendition.
