Why'd'you go & spoil it all by doin' somethin' stupid like..
Star Wars: Episodes I and II [DVD]Star Wars: Episodes I and II [DVD]
Buy used from: £11.98
Star Wars? I was a card-carrying fan-club member. New Hope? Digitally remastered? OK, I'll see it at the cinema. Prequels now? Excellent! But oh - OH NOOH! LUCAS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones [DVD] [2002]Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones [DVD] [2002]
Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £2.00
Comment as for choice #1 only with far, far dodgier acting and dialogue. Scores second place only due to slight redeeming feature of: lack of any direct mention of 'midichlorians.'
Highlander 2 - The Quickening [DVD] [1991]Highlander 2 - The Quickening [DVD] [1991]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.32
Wow! Highlander was one of my favourite films, I can't WAIT to see the sequel....OH. FOR. HECK'S. SAKE. The Planet ZEIST? Has the world gone utterly MAD?

Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.49
The pain has gone now and I find I can't remember much about the specific experience. It was pretty bad, I know that much, though.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 6 DVD Collection [1998]Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 6 DVD Collection [1998]
Buy new: £54.79 / Used from: £13.50
Buffy, series 1-4 is the finest televison programme the world has ever seen. Enter youthful-demographic-attracting 'surprise' kid sister and rot begins to set in. Series 6 hits unwatchable low.

I continue to watch this rubbish as a labour of love for what had gone before. Very soon I come hate myself, the world and everything in it. 'Slayer potential' my big fat eye.
The League Of Gentlemen - Series 3 (2002) [DVD]The League Of Gentlemen - Series 3 (2002) [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.27
Series 1 and 2 - wonderful! sublime! Series 3 - IT NEVER HAPPENED and I NEVER SAW IT EVEN IF IT DID. That's what I tell myself when I wake up in the night, screaming with horror, anyway...
A.I. Artificial Intelligence [2001] - 2 disc set [DVD]A.I. Artificial Intelligence [2001] - 2 disc set [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.69
Not a sequel, but undoubtedly the very worst, awful-est thing I have ever experienced that purports to be 'entertainment.' Counts in list as I now can't watch any Mr Speilberg's made as a result
Batman: Year 2: Year Two - Fear the ReaperBatman: Year 2: Year Two - Fear the Reaper by Mike W. Barr
Buy used from: £3.27
Batman Year One - great, sterling stuff, standard, very enthuiastic response to it. Batman Year Two? Hack-written, shamelessly dire ill-considered cash-in. Anyone want to buy my copy?

I swear, I haven't actually READ it, and OK the subject isn't quite right, but I wanted to round the list off at ten. I mean, come ON. What were they THINKING?
