Just got up to turn on TV and while flipping channels came across Airport 77 and remembered seeing this thread yesterday.
The original Airport (1970) is a classic. The subsequent movies were so cheesy and unrealistic. They got worse as the movies went on especially Airport 79.

OMG, my son and I were laughing so hard we were crying, watching the awful special effects in Airport 79! ( example: lowering the window in the cockpit to fire a gun, at 30,000 feet!!! ) That's a classic one, there.
I don't like it at all when Disney has a hit movie, then proceeds to make 20 "sequels" that go straight-to-DVD. They're always lame, and I can't believe parents waste their money on them. Buy the classic film, and leave it at that.
BTW, if they make ONE more 'Bring It On' sequel (is that what they are??) I'll scream. The original film was lame as it is.
Are all those teen dance movies the same flik or are they supposed to be something entirely different featuring a High School full of gorgeous 24 year olds dancing either freestyle, classic break or some form of fusion?
Usually wet.
The wetness is important to High School Talent shows!
I have to agree all the ones listed and I can think of the following two that should either never had sequels or much better ones than what $$wood put out:
Godfather - Sequels were alright but nothing like the first one.
Rambo - First Blood (the only movie my dad didn't diss but actually liked a lot).
Once Upon a Time in America - An awesome classic imho and thank god they have not ruined that one yet!
So many!
Pirates of the Caribbean-Loved the first, hated 2 and 3
All Harry Potter sequels
All Back to the Future sequels, last being the worst of them
I could go on...

Gotta disagree with you on Godfather. Part 2 with De Niro was great as well. I'd give the edge to the first one since it was so different than other films at the time. But Part 2 was a classic and one of DeNiro's best.
I was upset they made Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. I think that everything that needed to be said was covered in the first entry.

You are right, I kinda felt bad about mentioning Godfather since 2nd installment was really good but still it would not compare to the first one. 3rd installment kinda sucked imho. Much like Terminator, first one was awesome, second one was just as good if not pretty close and the third one sucked gerbil nuts. Another trilogy like those where the first two were really good but third one was a letdown would be Blade.
Couple of others that just came to my mind: Ocean's Eleven and Dusk till Dawn.
I agree with you on Breakin'. Sequel was really week. Which one had Jean Claude Van Damme as an unknown extra shaking his booty off (dancing) tryng to get noticed? It was a beach scene if you didn't notice it, watch it again.
It was priceless, I was drinking chocolate milk when I first noticed it and I laughed so hard milk came out of my nose.
