Terminator! (Yes, I liked the newest movie too!)

Star Trek III and IV are a continuous ark off of Star Trek II. They were not planned that way, and Nimoy used bringing Spock back in ST:III as leverage to get into the director's chair. (I love ST:III, btw... the "theft of the Enterprise" is one of the best sequences ever in Star Trek history.)

Back to books...

Feist's Magician series. The first two books are the "one split into two by the publisher" deal, but obviously so. If you enjoy those books, many of his other books are very enjoyable.

Uh. Oh. My 3rd post in a row. Don't ban me!!
