Favorite Nightmare on Elm Street?

[mfbtl]

Although all the other Freddy movies where more entertaining and "cooler" I voted for Wes Craven's New Nightmare because it has my favorite part. The scene where Nancy is talking to Wes and he reveals how the script he is writing unfolds in real life and at the end of the script page it says "Fade to Black" and the screne fades out. Call me corny but I thought that was bad *ss.

Nightmare on Elm street part 1 and 2 are the best of them all . i loved the rest but this two are my favourites.

 

[mister Lennon]

First one was the best movie. Then, there are many interesting things in the rest of the series, but , in general terms,they were bad movies.

I think that the true good movie was the first one.

 

[Lex Luthor]

Probably the original.

Part 3 was pretty good as well.

part 2 was a really interesting progression of the original. it presented a lot of really cool ideas about freddy's ability to be reborn through fear

Ah yes part 2 is considered the Brokeback Freddy what with the girlyman male teenager as the lead.

Some fans didn't like it because Freddy crossed over into the real world.

he was kind of a b***h, wasn't he?

freddy crosses into the real world in almost all the movies, that's how they kill him.

He was killed in dream world in parts 1 (nancy never woke up when she went to sleep which explains the stange ending),3,4, and 5.

you're right. damn.

do they ever explain nancy beingalive in the third movie after she was taken away by the freddy car in part 1?

 

[Bat Attack]

(From www.nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com)

Nancy did not wake up from her dream. When she thought she had pulled Freddy out from her dream, she was actually still dreaming. This explains Marge fading into the bed, Freddy rising up, and Nancy stepping outside from her Mother's bedroom unharmed & unaffected from the film's events. Due to Nancy turning her back on Freddy - she robbed him of his power. Knowing that he couldn't get to Nancy now, Freddy detained her in the car and killed her mother (while she slept) instead.

We also learn in the Nightmares On Elm Street comic series by Innovation Comics - that Nancy was institutionalized after her mother's death. Afterward, she went to college and excelled in psychology/dream research. She returned to Springwood in Nightmare 3 to help kids that suffered from the same kind of nightmares that she did - but it wasn't until she was in Kristen's dream that she recognized the true problem. Also during this time, she was taking the dream suppressant: Hypnocyl - to keep from dreaming.

New Nightmare was awesome.....



in my opinion

 

[kane9321]

dream warriors

 

[X-Ray]

1-3

Loved the one where the guy dreams of himself as an comic book hero. But he should've gone with Wolfverine or Spawn, even though he wasn't around I believe,

 

[Lex Luthor]

I believe that was part 5. The Dream Child.

 

[Bat Attack]

New Nightmare was awesome.....



in my opinion

Freddy was pretty badass in New Nightmare.

 

[boydston_14]

Parts 1, 3, and New Nightmare were the best hands down.

 

[Lex Luthor]

NOES 4: The Dream Master was pretty good I thought.

One of the very few Renny Harlin (spelling?) movies I actually enjoy.

 

[Dr.Dude]

I'm gonna go somewhat against the grain and vote for New Nightmare. It took what was already the amazingly creative concept of the first movie (and sequels), and totally flipped it on its head into something even more creative and original, finally bringing back that dark, twisted surrealness the series had lost. It could be argued that, in some sense, it's technically more of a tribute to the series than a true Nightmare movie, but it gets my vote regardless.

But really, the only Nightmare movies worth seeing are 1, 3, New Nightmare and FvJ. I'd actually say FvJ, while not my favorite Freddy movie, is still probably what I think of as the ultimate depiction of the character himself; merging both the dark sense of humor and the vicious menace into one evil package.

This thread is coincedental, as i've jst got them al on DVD. IMO:

1 is OK
2 is Ace
3 is Ok
4 sucks

Legenkamp cannot act for toffee. She almost ruins 1 and 3 for me.

Freddy vs Jason rules.


Does anyone have a favourite death or Freedy catchphrase? So far mines "Where's my f**cking bourbon?" from NOES3.

 

[FOG3]

What? 2 is my least fav out of the series... I think mainly because that main actor annoys me so much.

DREAM WARRIORS is the coolest movie by far IMO, with the original in close second.

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Dream Warriors was less graphic, more kiddie friendly IMO, like a slightly aggresive Dungeons and Dragons (I think?). Imean, a wizard, a gymnast and a strong guy come on...

 

[ToddIsDead]

Wes Craven's New Nightmare, followed immediately by the first.

 

[Bat Attack]

NOES 4: The Dream Master was pretty good I thought.

One of the very few Renny Harlin (spelling?) movies I actually enjoy.

I'm not alone!

 

[deathzhand]

1. NoES
2. New Nightmare
3. Dream Warriors
4. Freddy's Revenge
5. Dream Master
6. Dream Child
7. Freddy's Dead

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

None of the movies are good (not even the first one) but that doesn't stop me from liking them.

Part 1 is the best but I liked part 3 even more. "I am the Wizard Master!"
