The Fifth Element. And I hope it stays tat way.
Coming this summer: Rob Schneider is the 6th Element!!
The first thing that comes to mind is everything Studio Ghibli. They are mostly great films, and have no sequels or remakes yet and I hope it stays that way.
I'm sure there has to be live action examples but I can't think of any right now.
Inception? I'm always surprised about it getting left alone as it should.
Anytime somebody starts eyeing the rights to it, they get incepted to leave it alone.

What would a Pan's Labyrinth sequel even look like?
The big Lebowski kind of has a sequel in The Jesus Rolls
It's a popular theory that a lot of Tarantino movies take place in the same universe, and other of his movies are movies that exist in that universe, like Kill Bill may be the pilot that Mia Wallace starred in. I don't believe any of that is outright confirmed, but again kind of a sequel if you buy into that theory.
There was a Napoleon dynamite cartoon series made at one point if you want to count that
Forest Gump was based on a book, and there was a sequel book made- Gump & Co, and I never read it myself but I've been told that the sequel book is actually more of a sequel to the movie than to the original book

Event Horizon has a sequel in spirit: The Warhammer 40k universe. (Nevermind that 40k was first)
God I hope there is never an Interstellar sequel. It could only diminish the original.

The Matrix.
What are you talking about? They never made them.
Master and Commander. Wonderful movie, but opened at the wrong time. Could have been a nice series of movies.
I mean, there are plenty of highly-rated movies that don't have a sequel (and probably that's a good thing).

The Shawshank Redemption
-
12 Angry Men

Schindler's List

Pulp Fiction

Fight Club
12 angry men was remade
A remake isn't a sequel
Not sure if it was possibly edited, but OP did specify sequel or remake

Demolition Man.
Anyone who tries to remake or sequel The Princess Bride will have a special place in hell reserved for them.
The Big Lebowski
The Dark Crystal
Had a prequel series.
I always thought the ending to Close Encounters was made for a sequel.
Best is suggestive. It's a weird movie but I wish there was more of David Cronenberg's eXistenZ. Maybe a sequel since the movie ended on that possibility. But it's probably going to end up repetitive, if not recursive.
And its an idea that has been explored in different other movies and series anyway. So as much as I liked the style of that movie, upon reflection, maybe it should just stay where it was left.
