The original Nightmare has many of many of flaws, scenes where you can't stand the acting, and bad direction. We all accept it and love it for what it is though, because WE love it.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndFirst, qualms with directing and acting are purely subjective. So, what you may regard as poor acting or shaky direction, another person might not interpret that way or might not even notice whatsoever. Now, if we're talking about unintentional lens flares, parts of the set falling down in mid-scene, or someone's makeup line showing, that's another thing altogether.But, just because something is flawed doesn't make it any less of a classic. I know you were specifically addressing 80's films, but even in a classic like <i>It's A Wonderful Life</i> there are all sorts of glaring errors. But people look past them because of the overall quality of every craft involved in the making of the film, because of the engaging and layered story, and the wonderful world and characters of Bedford Falls.As fans, we all accept and love <i>Nightmare</i>...but so do critics and general audiences everywhere. I could understand if you were talking about a film like <i>Friday the 13th, Part 3</i>, which is flawed as hell and generally not great filmmaking, but I still love it. But, we're talking about a film (like <i>Halloween</i>) that is widely and mostly hailed as a classic, a cornerstone of the horror genre, and a film that, despite its few flaws, still stands the test of time.And...I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just stating my POV.Cheers.
