Best Prequels? (beehaw.org)

I'm shooting a movie currently and after a conversation with my director we realized that we couldn't think of a single prequel that we liked. However, we both agreed that there has to be at least one.

What do you think? Are there any good prequels?

The first thing that came to mind, after the fact, was The House of the Dragon the Game of Thrones prequel.

In my opinion, X-Men: First Class doesn't get enough credit as an absolutely stellar prequel. The franchise looked dead in the water after X-Men 3 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. X-Men: First Class not only revitalized the franchise, but brought a sense of fun and color that the series had been devoid of previously. While Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen cannot be beat; James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender do phenomenal jobs with the roles, themselves.

I know many see X2 as the highpoint of the series (or maybe Days of Future Past), but for me it would likely be X-Men: First Class

I'd have to agree. I love Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, but James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender bring great chemistry to the role.
