Jason is and will always be my top slasher and Kane Hodder is my favorite Jason. I also met Kane which just helped solidify him as my favorite.
Here is my ranking of F13 movies: (this is my favorites not overall best)
My problem with the franchise is that I like them all about the same. I can't pick a favorite to least favorite. I can easily seat down, and enjoy them all.
I hear ya and I pretty much agree. The only one I have a hard time actually watching part 9 and that's mainly because Jason isn't in it enough. I think Creighton Duke was wasted in the movie and could have been an awesome foe to Jason like Tommy was.
@justgrimey 4 was the first Jason I saw and just fell in love with it and Jason. That scene was great!
I kinda wish I owned the Blu Boxset, I get random cravings for these films. They will prob throw another out when they finally get round to a new movie.
In order by my favorites:
1. F13 (1980)
2. Part 2
3. F13 (2009)
4. The Final Chapter
5. Jason Lives
6. Part 3
7. The New Blood
8. Freddy vs. Jason
9. A New Beginning
10. Jason X
11. Jason Takes Manhattan
12. Jason Goes to Hell
Jury. Executioner. Judge.
So you gon' just leave out Jason X from the original post on purpose like it isn't the masterpiece that it is?
Big fan of this franchise. I'd say the first 6 movies are solid slasher fare, with the first 4 being quintessential Friday movies. Sadly, once New Line Cinema took over, these films have slid into awfulness, and that includes the remake.
My ranking
Part 4
Part 3
Part 2
Part 6
Part 1
Part 5
Part 7
Part 8
Remake
X and Hell (tied. Both are pretty shitty)
X has risen from the ashes as the There Will Be Blood of the Friday franchise.
I'm struggling to think of a list but Part 6 has always been a favourite since I first saw it (it's camp as hell but great fun, and also I think the first time the kids have actually got to the camp before Jason starts bumping the counselors off??) Most people I know dislike Part 8 but I really enjoy that one too.
TBH, there's not one F13 that I don't like.. maybe with the exception of part 9, for the same reason as mentioned above - not enough Jason!
12. Jason Takes Manhattan - Awful
11. A New Beginning - Bad
10. Jason X - Bad, but self aware
9. Friday the 13th (2009) - Mediocre reboot from people who don't understand the franchise
8. Jason Goes to Hell - Not as bad as its reputation
7. Freddy vs. Jason - Good, besides the soap opera teen drama
6. Part III - Good
5. The New Blood - Good
4. Friday the 13th (1980) - Great
3. Part 2 - Great
2. The Final Chapter - Great
1. Jason Lives - Great
Good assessment, though I would personally replace <em>Part V</em> (which I didn't think was good) with Part VII.
@Mayday Mega-City One
The reboot at #3, and ahead of both Jason Lives and The Final Chapter? Odd choice.
@TexasSnacks
Don't put yourself down! I thought that list was actually pretty good. I can see where you are coming from with that ranking. Even Jason X was somewhat self-aware and it got Jason right (including the kills), so I can see why some people would enjoy it.
