Best Friday the 13th Movie

[El Brujo]

Well I can't seem to poll in this forum, so Ill just put the list here:

Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th Part II
Friday the 13th Part III
Friday the 13th The Final Chapter (Part IV)
Friday the 13th Part V - A New Beginning
Friday the 13th Part VI - Jason Lives
Friday the 13th Part VII - New Blood
Friday the 13th Part VIII - Jason Takes Manhattan
Jason Goes to Hell - The Final Friday
Jason X
Freddy vs. Jason

I personally like the second one best.

Umm... ok...

First of, I must confess that I have not seen Jason X or Freddy vs. Jason. Secondly, I must insist that those movies are horrible, and that I am ashamed to admit that I have seen the first nine. Nine, I watched nine of those movies... what was I thinking?

If any of you have not made the mistake I have, do not bother watching all of the movies. Friday the 13th Part II through VIII are the same plot recycled with a different script. See one, and you have pretty much seen them all. I suppose the seventh one is the best of that lot, since Jason has to battle a girl with telekinetic powers... she can fight back.

I would probably say Jason Goes to Hell is my favorite, with the original as second best. I thought the body-shedding Hellbaby idea was more interesting than the original premise... that a mentally-retarded boy becomes an immortal, unstoppable beast that kills teenagers to avenge his dead mother, who was a psycho herself.

i thought they were all pretty crap, nothing special at all.
