I pick 1, 3, & 7

Mondo Kane

1st one's the best.
3's my favorite.

SunMonkey

The first one is by far the best of the series, IMO. One of the best horror movies every, in fact.

Cornelius1047

I haven't actually seen all of them, but of the ones I've seen, the first is obviously the best. Wes Craven's New Nightmare is also a cool concept, though, by the end, the execution left much to be desired.

Joel

I have only seen the first three movies, and I don't like them all. But if I have to choose .. I'll go with the first.

PalmerJoss

I've seen all of them, and everything from 2 onward was just pure camp and I loved them all. My favorite though is the first one--it still is one of the very few movies to actually scare me.

Giles

I think 3 edges out 1 by a little, because I always thought the human puppet scene was really gross and inventive.

Gizmo

NOES 2 was just horriable. So many bad actors. Ick.

Part 3 is my favorite, followed by 1, 7 and maybe 5?

Geofferson

First one, hands-down.

El-Kabong

The first one, of course is a classic. Past that I'd have to go with New Nightmare, just because of the whole 'breaking down the 4th wall' thing. A keen take on a series that was struggling towards the end.

silentbob007

As many others have said ... 1,3,7 are the best of the series, with 1 being the best because of its orignality and truely scary moments.

Stoolie

I have only seen one. IMHO it was a decent movie, somewhat scary, and Freddy is a true icon of the screen. Did he get overly cheesy in the later movies?

Hey DVD professor could you please calm down with the thread making? We dont need to find out what everyones favortie movie from every movie series ever is. You've got like 10 threads on the first page alone. Calm down. Dvdtalk isnt going anywhere.

Superboy

I liked 3 the most. Interestingly enough, it's also parodied the most by the simpsons.

Sunday Morning

pt. 1 because it was totally original and frightening when it first came out.

followed closely by pt. 7 "new nightmare" which is technically the best film/best made film out of the series (except for the dissapointing showdown scene)

I like them all at least a little, but 1, 3, 4, and 7 are probably my favorites. I have to agree with the part about 3 and the human puppet. When I was a little kid that part seriously disturbed me.

MJKTool

Part 1. The others made Freddy way to cheesy.

mookyman

In descending order - 1, 3, 7, 4, 6, 5, 2

Nightmare on Elm Street

Wes Craven's New Nightmare

Only two worth watching.

paradicelost

The original is still my favorite. It still gives me chills when i watch it. Probably because i was 9 when i first saw it and i slept on the floor in my mom's room for a good year after watching it. Probably the first horror film i watched.
I enjoy watching 3&4 as well but the first will always be my favorite.

DVDHO

1&3 are the only good ones in the series IMO,1 is a classic though.

gerrythedon

I borrowed the box set from my brother this past week [got the F vs. J deal at Best Buy]

Before this, I believe the only movie I had seen was part 3. After watching all 7, I thought NEW NIGHTMARE was a great movie and the only one I really cared for.

I hope that they re-release it later on as a 2dvd, so I can get it. And if they re-release part 1 as a 2DVD, maybe I will get that one too.

QuiGonJosh

Big Freddy fan here...but Im goin with New Nightmare...just cant get enough of that awesome flick...Freddy in that film is just pure evil and the darkest in the serious!

Andalusia

The first one. Ya know, before Freddy had a quip for every death. But I liked part three a lot too. The rest, nope.
