Friday the 13th

1, 2, 4, 6.. some will say 3 but I think it's a lousy movie unless you desperately want to see how Jason gets the hockey mask.

It had some actual production value put into it and the director was a fan of the series. They even fit a car chase sequence into it.

4,6,2,5,1,3,remake,7,8,hell,and then X

Watch 1-8 in order. The series is more fun that way because it's a continuous narrative that gradually gets crazier and crazier one film at a time. First it's a "realistic" murder mystery about a grieving mother getting revenge for her dead son. Then it's indestructible retard in a mask for 3 movies. Then 1 movie where they show one of his victims going nuts. Then Jason comes back as a zombie. Then he fights a telekinetic. Then they all go to Manhatten and Jason is like a ghost now or something and also one of his victims is psychic and saves his pleading inner child from the monster he'd become.

It gets weirder after you step into the New Line series, but also deviates so much from the look and feel of the Paramount series that you can take them or leave them. Friday the 13th is an 80s franchise at heart and anything made outside of that decade is troubled from the start.

First is pure kino. Kevin Epic Bacon

I like the first one but Kevin Bacon is such a non entity in it, aside from getting an arrow through the neck. I literally rewatched it a few days ago.

Who’s excited for the Creighton Duke spin off series

4, since it gives you a perfect recap of what happened in the first three movies anyway.
Other than that, I'd say 6. But 4 is quintessential.

Indeed Senpai.

Nah, Part 1 is at least entertaining for how badly written it is. Made in 79 and released in 80 before anyone had really figured how slasher movies were supposed to work. So its set up like a murder mystery thriller type movie where you have to try and figure out who the killer is. There are red herrings and clues and shit.

Then it turns out to be someone who was neither seen nor mentioned at any point earlier in the movie whatsoever. It's either really bad writing or a really awesome FUCK YOU to everyone trying to piece together the mystery at the time.

But all those super early slashers didn't really know how slashers works because the genre was being created and perfected on the fly. It's kind of interesting to see that develop in real time and since Friday the 13th spanned 80-89, the first 8 movies pretty much let you watch how the genre changed and evolved all in the same series.

Yeah, the original was made fast and cheap to cash in on Halloween’s success. It’s not particularly good.

I would go even farther and say the look and feel of the first four is so grounded in an early '80s vibe that something is lost after part 4. The girls are all cute and natural, with frizzy hair, and don't wear bras, the filmstock is kinda grainy, the clothes are still that late '70s look before everyone started dressing like Duran Duran.

1,2,3,4,7,9(JGtH),x (for how campy it is), FvJ and 2009 reboot.

The first one has the most p/o/v shots and implicates the viewer as a murderer. I like that. Characters break the fourth wall and talk to 'you' before 'you' stab them to death.

Yeah, the first 4, maybe 5, have an indie look to them. 6 thru 8 do feel very slick and produced. But it's also kinda like tracing heavy metal thru the 80s. Where it went from raw and unplugged to glam and pop by the end of the decade.

Because that's what people watch a F13 movie for...the chase scenes.
It wasn't terrible, but there are better ones.
Remake>FvJ>1>7>3>4>2>6>5>8>X

I'm really attracted to the girls in the first two. I wish the no bra movement was still around. Weirdly, that came out of feminism, but having jiggling tits and rock hard nipples is obviously erotic.

I like entries like 3 and 7 but they feel way more cheaply made than 6. Like I said, part 6 had some real production value put into it. That whole RV sequence was a great centerpiece.

>had really figured how slasher movies were supposed to work

you mean, before they realized retards would go to see the same movie again and again.

Betsy Palmer being the killer was an actual twist on the scenario. The actual "slasher genre" started with Psycho, your concept of the genre is after the husk had been boiled down to a shitty commercial formula.

6 is a bit overrated, but it's an interesting diversion and probably the best one after the original 4. The first 4 have a laid back cozy camp atmosphere that is lacking in part 6. 6 feels more like an action movie.

The POV stuff was borrowed from Italian giallo films. Friday part 2’s double kill with the spear is a shot for shot remake of a kill from Bay of Blood.

1,2,4,6,7. The first two are the best as pure horror movies and achieve the best amtosphere, Final Chapter comes as close to being a perfect object of a F13 movie as you can get (the type that would satisfy people who had expectations from pop culture osmosis), Jason Lives is actually well-made and funny, and New Blood has an interesting lead in Tina, the then-novelty of Jason fighting something else supernatural and introduces Kane Hodder as Jason.

Psycho and Peeping Tom invented the genre, but it's not like the '60s were filled with slasher movies. Aside from Italian giallo, there wasn't a real slasher until TCM in '74. I guess some would say Last House on the Left, but that's a different type of movie to me.

I know that, but it was unique in American films (let's be honest, most of the people who saw Friday probably hadn't seen most giallo) + the camp atmosphere is the real secret sauce in the Friday movies. Slashers weren't doing that until Friday 1.

4 is the one I've told people if they only watch one Friday movie, watch that one. The recap makes it easy.

True. It helped a lot that the first two were shot on the east coast. Part 3 was very obviously California.

This post is exactly right.

6 has best soundtrack, "hes back the man behind the mask and hes out of control hea backkk"!! And "ima teenage frankenstein" I still listen to those now

I don’t care what you say. This scene rules and Meghan is a top tier Friday girl.

True, but there are some interesting oddities like William Castle's Homicidal (1961), The Haunted House of Horror/Horror House (1969), which despite being marketed as a haunted house flick is pretty much a straight-up slasher, Herschell Gordon Lewis's movies, Amicus's The Psychopath (1966) and pic related.

Wait until Dark (1967) with Audrey Hepburn is mostly a crime film, but it also has some very Halloween-esque moments in the last act.

But Halloween came out before this and perfected the formula already

Watch Sleepaway Camp instead, destroys any Jason movie ever made

Meh. The Friday the 13th movies were obviously made by heterosexual men (esp. the first four). Sleepaway Camp and Nightmare 2 are the gayest '80s slasher movies.

Actually 5 had some good nudity so include that too.

Wait Until Dark is a cool movie, but it's a thriller. It's no more of slasher movie than Death Wish or Panic Room.

First Friday the 13th is just a Gialo movie. Slasher as a genre wasn't a thing but if you look at Argento's early stuff you can see the clear inspirations that Friday the 13th took from it.

The first 3 are the best in my opinion.

Mario Bava too. Blood & Black Lace might be the first "slasher" despite that term not being around.

Actually Psycho and Peeping Tom beat it by a few years, so maybe the third(?) slasher movie.

Best um...waifu.

The Whip & The Body (1963) too, although there's some slight supernatural ambiguity.

Part VI was pretty ahead of its time as far as including self aware meta humor. It's just an all around enjoyable entry. Part V is too sleazy feeling for me.

nah some of the kills are kinda lame it's mostly the ending of sleepaway camp that makes it good

I don't understand why people like the ending so much. The execution was goofy as fuck.

Watch all of them, faggot.
>durr, i'm gonna start a movie series and pick and choose which ones i watch
I still watch the shittier Roger Moore Bond movies when I marathon those every couple of years.

Also:

2 > 4 > 3 > 5 > remake > 7 > 6 > 1 > FvJ > Hell > X > 8

imagine having a movie that stars both these characters, then they only share one scene together in a diner before their 5 minute chase scene at the end and everyone gets pissed off.

Reminder that this the official Yea Forums ranking of the Friday the 13th flicks

Oops forgot pic pic

Attached: 13689765421.jpg (720x871, 429K)

There’s no way the 2009 movie should be ranked so low. FvJ and X have not aged well and feel like cheap direct to video films. Especially X.

Ugh, a part6fag, explain again why you rank that fucking comedy as the best F13 movie?

Not him but Part VI had an actual budget and care put into it compared to most of the other Paramount sequels. Plus I personally thought it was cool to see the camp actually functioning with kids involved.

Atleast those are entertaining in how ridiculous they are, the remake is just generic trash

I thought it was pretty enjoyable. Jason was actually scary and intimidating again plus the cast was solid. Trent being in both Transformers and Friday the 13th is a pretty funny Easter egg. At any rate I’d say it’s easily the best of the Michael Bay produced Platinum Dunes horror movie remakes of the 00s.

They're all pretty good if you're a "turn of your brain" type of guy. If you're a thinking man like myself that can be pretty challenging in which case, 2 is the only good one.

Spoiler that shit, homie.

Comfy

the one where jason kills roasties and chads

The other movies in the series never had quite the same isolated backwoods feel to them after they moved production to California and then the south.

Did America really look like this in the 80s?

some of it, yeah

Early 80s, yeah, since fashion from the 70s was still overlapping.

That one broads sweet rack alone bumps the '09 movie up two spots for me

Hell yeah

I agree, the "summer" camps in 5 - 8 feel like a cold Saskatchewan forest

1-4 are the best, somewhat human Jason who runs and enjoys killing. The rest are watchable but inferior, and yes that included Jason Lives which is plebs' favorite F13 flick.

Watch 1-8, skip 9 and X, and then watch FvJ and the remake.

I say this in every Friday the 13th thread but part 3 would’ve been so much better if Vera and Shelly were the leads. Chris and Rick were generic and lame.

Shelly has more character depth than anyone else in the whole franchise including Jason and his mom. Which is ironic considering he was supposed to be the nerd side character just there for the laughs. Shelly is a genuinely sad character.

Fuck, that's a really good point. I love 3 but it has it's faults, and if those two were the MCs it might have pushed 3 over the edge as my favorite.

No the cast was perfect, what would have made Part 3 so much better is getting rid of the gimmicky 3D bullshit like the yoyo scene and popping popcorn

I just finished watching through 10 out of the 12 films (haven't seen Hell or X) and honestly none of them are worth watching.
There is some real shit in other horror franchises, but I can't say the Friday movies can lay claim to even a single genuinely good film.

I pity you

The bigger problem with part 3 was the move to California and really only having the house and barn as locations. The “lake” was also really obviously just a small manmade pond.

fag?

Yea Forums must have garbage taste then part IV is easily the best.

Also the original needs to be a knocked back 2 spaces. Although personally I would put it next to Jason goes to hell. Why the fuck is Part 2 that high? Its just as boring as the original.

>Hating on the original film
Opinion discarded

Part 2 has Ginny as the final girl and she’s definitely one of the best. Giving her a background in psychology was pretty interesting and goes above and beyond what you’d expect from a slasher sequel.

3-6, then remake, then 7,8, then 1,2 and 9, then X and JvF

All of them except 9.

Eh, 9 is fun in how out there it gets.

1,2,3,4,5,6,(7 to a much lesser extant) 9, 10, 11, and 12.

1,2,3,4, and 6 are the best. 8 is pure shit.

I needed that pic for my Bigger Shelly Theory Fan Crapsite.

That game he's playing is one of the first portable video games ever and it's practically a lost game because they were ink-based and nearly all of them have faded away. A fireplace, a hot blonde woman, and a literal lost video game? Loads of comfort points.

Dude I've watched this series from beginning to end like 3 times. It's super dated, really slow, paint by numbers standard. Its barely re-watchable.

Halloween, Texas Chainsaw massacre, and Nightmare on Elm are absolute classic masterpieces. Friday the the 13th is an Iconic series, but F13 doesn't start getting good till part 3.

7 is at least worth watching for Jason’s costume design. I love how they accounted for all the previous damage he’d taken.

There's crucial plot points in part 4

and I'm saying this as someone whose favorite franchise is F13. Part 3's the best one, btw.

it's great to see posts on Yea Forums from people who really do watch movies every once in a while
I'd argue that substantial slasher elements are present as early as Hitchcock's silent version of The Lodger, and that Spiral Staircase '45 has enough of them combined together to count as a full slasher already

Attached: 220px-Spiral_staircase21.jpg (220x336, 32K)

It’s the only competently made movie in the whole franchise.

Friday the 13th is the most consistently entertaining slasher franchise. Even the worst entries are at least somewhat watchable/fun. I'd say marathon the entire series - yes, that also includes Parts IX and X as well as Freddy VS - but if you're gonna watch just one, make that Part VI. It does get pretty silly and unfortunately censorship had already taken root by the time of its release, resulting in a lot of kills being completely cut or shortened, but it has Tommy, it has best girl Megan, it has Alice Cooper and it has one of the best Jason looks. It's also responsible for zombie Jason, which some people hate with a passion, but I think reinforcing the supernatural elements of the character makes him even more menacing and adds to the lore.

Attached: 1555466986623.png (600x450, 47K)

Nearly all of the friday films were butchered in the editing room. It's like taking the meat and condiments out of your sandwich and leaving the veggies. 2,4,6 and seven are the most horribly censored and they haven't even tried to put the removed clips back together

Jason Goes to Hell is obviously garbage. It barely has Jason, and is just a flick about some body swapping worm

You guys are so jaded.
Friday the 13th when it first came out was the first of it's kind. That level of gore had not been seen of screen yet (Tom Savini did the effects)
Halloween was the only movie prior and didn't have nearly the on screen graphic violence Friday the13th had.
I remember seeing the trailer in the theater in the1980 summer it was released. It scared the shit out of me to be honest. It had not only graphic death scenes but also real suspense being we had never seen anything like it before.

Nearly all of them are terrible, it's really more of a question of what you want from a slasher movie that determines which is the most preferable one to watch.

That's because Paramount basically never gave a fuck. They were gravely embarrassed the franchise was as profitable as it was; they didn't wanna be known as the studio responsible for Jason. Chances are all of the stuff that didn't survive the censors and the cutting room floor are forever lost in time. On the other hand, despite that fact that I'd give my left nut to get my hand on that content, I don't think a 4K restoration box set would be a good idea, even with all the deleted scenes added back in. The series needs a little grain to work, I think. I mean, you can already see strings and shit on the DVD releases. Imagine how ridiculous, say, the arrow to the eye kill from Part III would look in ultra hi-def.

I hate to be that guy, but I think most of the negative comments are either from zoomers who can't appreciate the franchise for what it is, or holier than thou film snobs.

Or when Jason kills Chris's boyfriend and his eye shoots out like a Saturday morning cartoon. Someone post it

A valiant effort, but most of it was shot during the day due to - I'm assuming - hardware/budget limitations, and it's too clean and bright. Also, Jason's kinda tiny. Still a pretty good fan film, though.

All of your arguments are right for the most part, but like you said, it's a valiant effort for a fan. Some touches like Jason's heavy walking making noise were pretty good imo. And props to old man Tommy for showing up.

>Bro I've seen every movie so I'm an expert
Congratulations, so has everyone else. Original film is easily the most atmospheric in the series with the most realistic characters. Also the fact that you use "dated" as a criticism shows what a turbofag you are, just stop watching movies.

What was the best kill?

The one with the hot nude chick in the woods with the boobs.
