There's a cliche in Hollywood that sequels never quite live up to their originals.  Many don't.  Some do.  Over the next few weeks, I'll look at some of Hollywood's most notable film franchises and see if that cliche is accurate.  To kick things off, I'll tackle the Back to the Future trilogy of films...
