Rank The Friday The 13th Films
I know we've had some F13 topics before but it seems none specific to ranking the films. Been a long time fan since I was a kid and love most of them. Rank all twelve in your order of preference with Freddy Vs. Jason and the 2009 reboot/remake in the mix. My ranking goes:
The Final Chapter Jason Lives Part 2 The New Blood Part 3 Part 1 Reboot A New Beginning Jason Takes Manhattan Jason Goes To Hell Freddy Vs. Jason Jason X The films can be of varying quality but there's definitely serious high points. I'm a softee for most of them being that the series got me into Horror and movies in general at a young age. |
I thought the reboot was considered non-canon offal. I expect the same treatment for the announced prequel/sequel/reboot/reimagining/re-stooling.
6 FvJ 3 4 7 2 JX 5 8 1 JGTH |
LOVE the first one-absolutely scared me out of my wits back when, but find all the others hard going and have not seen any after 8, other than FREDDY VS JASON which wasn't bad for what it was. So a slight deviation from all 12 to my nine...
1-Original 2 Part 6-good sense of humor and Alice Cooper tunes as well. 3- Part4-Crispin Glover and Kimberly Beck good in here 4-Part 7 5-FVJ 6-Part 3-Awesome 3-D when I sw this 7-Part 2 8-Part 5-Pretty putrid except for Debisue Voorhees::love: 9-Part 8-The WORST |
I'm not a fan of parts 9 or 10 at all, but the reboot from 2009 is pretty decent.

Friday the 13th ranking
I would agree with most of these, but c'mon: I love Jason Goes to Hell and Jason Takes Manhattan for their wonderfully campy scenes. They may be my favorite if we're talking comedy and not horror :)
Jason 8: Knocking that boxer's head off- priceless. The "who gives a damn, it's just another day" look from the New Yorkers. Great. Jason 9: First, I screamed with excitement (given, I was a teen) when Freddy's hand shot up at the end. And the Jason mask hamburgers? Yum :) Yeah, terrible for horror, but I think they're pretty great if you look at them from a different perspective. I still enjoy them. |
There's things about them I enjoy but overall I vastly prefer the style of the first seven. I do give credit though that they tried to freshen things up.

True. With that said, 4 is my favorite- Love the end with Corey Feldman shaving his head, all the horror masks, lots of family dying.
2 is my next favorite- the heroine dressing like his mom, his mother's head, so cool. And you can't go wrong with 1: best ending ever for two reasons. We see a head cut off and an amazing epilogue with Jason jumping out of the water. |
Curious as to how you rank the entire series together, with FVJ and the reboot in the mix?
I'll admit I do have a bit of a nostalgic affinity for 8 and 9; I watched 8 a lot as a kid and I remember seeing 9 in theaters back in 1993, so while neither film is anything particularly good to me, I do get some fun out of viewing them from time to time. 8 has some genuinely good stuff in it and it's a shame due to budget issues the director had to downscale so much of his initial vision. |

He'll be watching Part VIII later this month Its lure is a great one, my friend, but beware, This film casts many shadows indeed. |
