I LIE AWAKE AND DREAD THE LONELY NIGHTS
>>220094358For me it's the gay one.
The original is obviously the best one
Dokken fuckin rules
>>2200943581 and 3 are the only ones that are really worth it. 2 is its own weird thing that was repurposed into an Elm Street movie, and the rest are slightly edgier children’s movies.
New Nightmare would have been the best in the series if Wes craven hadn't put all the meta shit in the plot. i swear, i wanna KILL whoever told wes craven what "meta" is. fuckin ruined his movies.
>>220094423Yeah I liked this one a lot to. This was before the internet made everyone aware of how it doesn't "follow the rules." Shit this was part 2...there weren't any rules yet.
>>220094702New Nightmare is too slow paced. Feels more like a drama than a horror movie, and not a good drama either.
>>220094702>>220094750I love New Nightmare, it was meta but in a good way, if perhaps lacking in subtlety. My only issue with it is the stupid robot hand, can't believe Wes thought a robot hand attacking people was scary or suspenseful instead of laughable
>>220094358One of those rare songs where the verses are better than the chorus.WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I REALIIIIIZE
into the fire is such an amazing song
>>220095355for me, It's Not Love
>>220094702New Nightmare sucks. Heather Langenkamp can't act and the film is just long scenes of her doing nothing until something interesting happens.
The last time I went through the series, I felt that New Nightmare was the second-worst film after Freddy's Revenge.
>>2200943581 > 4 > 3 > FvJ > 5 > 7 > 2 > 6
>>220096345I actually liked 5 more than 4. I understand why it's low though, it was rushed and could've been much better. But really, 4 over both 5, 3 and 2? 4 sucks.
I like them all
>>220094423I never thought it was gay. People find what they're looking for I guess.
>>220096345>4 that highmaybe if they hadn't run out of money during filming I would like it more, also killing off the Dream Warriors in the first 10 minutes are gay, but the worst part was that shitty "invisible freddy" kung fu fighting the martial arts nerd. Worst kill of the entire franchise.
>>2200974974 had such a stupid story. 5 simply had to pick up the pieces and follow up on that story, and they did a pretty good job all things considered.

>>220095270>>220095355>>220095774>>220094358Are there any boomers who can comment on how popular Dokken really was in the 80s? Fans talk about them like they were a massive group and they made the song for a a hit film, but they didn't have much chart success and people in comment sections on YouTube complain that you'd only see their videos on Headbanger's Ball (unlike Guns n Roses, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Ratt, etc. who also appeared in regular MTV rotation). They also didn't have a live video.
>>220094748>This was before the internet made everyone aware of how it doesn't "follow the rules."The slasher rules were always exaggerated especially the virginal final girl trope.> Ginny in Friday Part 2 (81) is implied to have sex off screen.> Chris in Friday Part 3 (82) implies she had sex in the hamock before.> Gaylen Ross (81) has hot tub sex in Madman.> Final girl in Humongous (82) has sex & her boyfriend fondles/fingers her ass while she pilots the boat in broad daylight.
>>220096345>>220096664Explain why 6 is worse than 5?
>>220094423Part II is my favourite as well. Freddy is a nasty piece of shit in this before he turns into the wise-cracking clown in future instalments. The garden party attack is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen in any film:>Just tell us what you want, alright. I'm here to help you.>Help yourself, fucker!https://youtu.be/gBrq1wlmz2I?si=Mvzs1LfHTHEUf2noNot forgetting the combusting parakeet that explodes in a cloud of (large) feathers. Just fuckin' kek. Also, Jessie's mum is a milf.
>>220099543>> F13 - Part 3Hard to rank this one as it is among my favorite F13s, the most rewatchable & comfy but it also has more numerous flaws than 2, 4, 6 & 09.
>>220094702The premise is fun even if the movie itself sucks
>>220094423>>220099543>>220099829I honestly liked Kim Myers in 2 more than Nancy in 1 (Nancy in 3 is superior tho)She got naked in the 90s.https://www.aznude.com/view/celeb/k/kimmyers.html
>>220101592>https://www.aznude.com/view/celeb/k/kimmyers.htmlI've never been able to find that video clip from anywhere, just these stills.
>>220094423Nightmare 2 has the best opening scene of the whole franchise imo
>>220094358Noes had some damn good movie posters.
>>220101592My God…..those eyes.
>>220101818and the pool party scene is awesome
JASON THINKS YOUR MUSIC SUCKS
>>220102400“I want to help you, man!”“Help yourself, fucker!”
>>220099660Dokken was well known among metal heads and guitar nerds in the 80s. They had a very big following back then. George Lynch could go toe to to with prime EVH any day of the week. Only problem was dokken wasn't a singles band. You had to have big radio hits in the 80s to be van halen status
I'll grant you that Freddy's Revenge has its memorable moments, but everything between those moments is dry and boring. The direction is very pedestrian, more like TV than film.
>>220094358Well...yes. Is there anyone who thinks differently? Some maybe consider Jason x Freddy to be the best.I rewatched the entire series and I was shocked just how much is the concept of dreams and dream demon underutilised in almost all of them. Freddie 3 shapes how people feel about the entire lineup of these movies.
>>220094667>1 and 3 are the only ones that are really worthFvsJ belongs there too, because for some reason, they actually put substantial effort into script. There is a reason why Freddy does what he does, why Jason is there, and why it becomes a conflict between them, and human characters actually act like people with intelligence and agency.
>>220096700Based. They all have some great kills, creative special effects, and usually a hot girl or 2. People may not like how talkative and goofy Freddy got, but I'll take that over the no personalities of Jason and Michael any day.
>>2200963454 has always been my favorite and Alice is the best character. I will agree 3 is technically better, but I like 4 more.
>>2201033614 has the best Freddy death scene and the roach kill is also top tier. The story sucks, but I think that was the one that was shooting without a script because of the writer's strike at the time.
>>220103099>and human characters actually act like people with intelligence and agency.well, except Kelly Rowland
>>220103257>usually a hot girl or 2That anon here, my one knock is the lack of nudity in the entire series. Lots of hot women, but really only 3 and 4 have any tits, and Nancy's briefly in the first in the open matte But otherwise I will agree, they're all fun and not terribly boring.
>>220099660Dokken were probably the best hair metal group of the 80s. Besides Don's more soul-influenced voice, they didn't really get as poofy as most of the other bands of that scene. They weren't as nasty as Motley Crue or GNR, but they definitely brought the metal, which became rarer as the genre went on.
>>220102581A personal friend of mine bodied George backstage with his own guitar. I like him but he's no God.
>>220094809Wes also thought that people would find Deadly Friend scary.
>>220096664I only have any sort of attachment for 4 because I owned it as a kid, so I've seen it more than any of the others.
>>220099660My only knowledge of Dokken is from digging through my actual boomer dad's cassette collection as a kid. I wouldn't be able to pick any of their songs out of a lineup.
>>220102985>Jason x Freddy>Freddie
>>220094358If you ignore 2 then 1/3/4 make for a near perfect trilogy with 4's only real problem being that they didn't bring back Patricia Arquette as Kristin!!!FACT!!!
