Rules!
Which ones are your favourites?
Mine are 1, 3 (Dream Warriors) and Wes Craven's New Nightmare....

anyone else?

They are my favourites too, although I do enjoy 'NOES 2: Freddy's Revenge' a lot too. As well as the comedic overt gay subtext (is that an oxymoron?) and the exploding bird, it's got a lot to offer. Freddy's makeup is probably the most grotesque and frightening in this movie and it's nice to see the substitution of a male actor/character in the heroine's role. It does work nicely as some sort of extended metaphor for a young gay man coming out and as such has a lot more depth than other films in the series.

Number 5 is by far the worst. An absolutely insipid film. Most fans abhor 6 as well but I rather like it. More Postmodern than the others, somewhat of a preface for 'New Nightmare'. The overall concept and plot was cool. It's just a shame that any punch the film might pack is muted by that shockingly bad 3D ending. Word of warning to all future filmmakers: if a technology seems novel and gimmicky at the time, it will be cheap and embarrassing a decade later.

the first one definately

Parts 1, 3, 4, and 7.

Part 4 is my absolute favorite after 1, as I greatly prefer Alice over Nancy.
I love the effects (cockroach death!), the soundtrack, and the film's visual style overall. The only drawback is Tuesday Knight, as Patricia Arquette is the only Kristen.

Here's what I just found on youtube:

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 special in three parts: 1 2 3

i love 5 best i swear those movies scared me for life but i love them
