Like Joe said, I was born in '91 and my FAVORITE's of the franchise are N1, N2 and New Nightmare. I never watch any of the other ones because they are just horrible. How far they started deviating from the original direction and cinematography just ruins the movies for me. I know they're sequels, they are what they are, but I don't find much enjoyment in them. Especially Freddy in VS, strayed so far from the original Freddy.As the Friday the 13th debate has occured, I'd have to consider Part 1 and 2 the only "A Nightmare on Elm Street" Films (hell, maybe 3 as well) and 4-VS as "Freddy Films".

I like parts 1,2, and 3.I like "New Nightmare" but it's not actually supposed to be part of the "Elm Street" series, even though everybody lumps it in there with the rest.

There's no rules to a film in it's first sequel, and it's a bit bias to judge a film based on it's sequels made afterwards. If anything, you should be mad at the films following it.

It gave a new feeling to Freddy, and being that it was it's first sequel, it had that privilege. Unlike a remake, a sequel doesn't have to attribute to a specific style. It can create a new mood, though it doesn't have to as seen in the first four F13 films.

Since I have watched the whole series within the last week I can say the 2 worst ones were VS and Freddy's Dead. Part 2 was great actually and even funny in some parts. The series was really good until Nightmare 5 and then went down from there. My list would beNightmare 2Nightmare 3Nightmare 4New NightmareNightmare 5Freddy's DeadVSbtw I am looking forward to the remake and a new take on Freddy.

New Nightmare gets my vote as the worst sequel.Prt3 and 4 are my favourites from the series.

i voted for FVJ, it was too much like a scream movie, although in retrospect i should have voted for Freddy's Dead. b. 1980
