Does every good/great movie deserve a sequel?

Do you think it's good or bad for the movie industry for studios to turn their movies into franchises?

Imagine if The Godfather, Star Wars, or Rocky never been made into series franchises. Would those original movies still be put on such a high pedestal? Would movies like Titanic or Scarface still be highly praised if they made sequels?

Or should sequels only be reserved for movie adaptions of books and comics like Hunger Games, Twilight, Batman, Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Superman, The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe, etc? Where does that leave movies like Fast & the Furious, James Cameron's Avatar (they just confirmed 2 or 3 more Avatar movies), and The Best Man?

And what are some good movies that shoulda coulda woulda got sequels? I would've liked to see what studios could have done with Mr. and Ms. Smith, Road To Perdition, Wanted, and The Wood.
