  This was the one that turned Jason from a backwoods killer into the supernatural zombie curse of Crystal Lake. I love how this series never took itself too seriously.

  'Jason Lives' is easily one of the very best entries in the series and is excellent viewing to this day. Highly recommended to anyone with even a passing interest in slashers.

  Jason Lives kicks ass. You can tell the people in charge genuinely wanted to make a legit good movie and the succeeded. This was the first Jason film I ever saw and I still love it. I've met the cast, have an autographed copy of the script and even a poster. Movie is awesome and I wish we'd gotten more Friday films like it.

  I adore Jason Lives!  I think that its the best entry for three reasons.  1: It's in my opinion the best written entry in the series.  2: You give a damn about the characters, and feel bad when they get killed.  3: Its got a good deal of levity in its usage of (dark) humor.

  The one that briefly rejuvenated the franchise and gave us ol Jason as we know him today. Probably my favorite in the series. The 007 intro is cheeky, but awesome

  Fun fact: Tom McLaughlin wrote an idea for Freddy vs. Jason in 1987 which involved two mental patients being locked up, one believes Freddy is real and other thinks Jason is coming to get him. Eventually the two patients go so insane, they think they see Freddy and Jason in the building. Freddy and Jason begin working together killing all the doctors and patients, but they soon turn against each other due to lack of trust and fight each other. Who&apos;s the winner? Neither because the end twist reveals Freddy and Jason were actually the two crazy patients killing everyone and they killed each other at the same time. McLaughlin was inspired by an article he once read that was about a kid killing his mom&apos;s friend, thinking he was Jason and he wanted to make a social commentary on crazy people being influenced by killers. Real or fictional.<br><br>I love you McLaughlin, but I don&apos;t like this story at all. It could work as an original horror movie with it&apos;s commentary, but for the Freddy vs. Jason movie, you&apos;d want the REAL Freddy to fight the REAL Jason.

  This Friday the 13th movie is the most entertaining of them all and me being a child of the 80’s loved every minute of it.

  Jason&apos;s resurrection in this movie is a piece of art.

  Part six is the best Friday the 13th film by far

  Part 6&apos;s Jason may be the most intimidating Jason. Part 6 also had a unique energy to it, &amp; it charged up the franchise.

  To me, this is the best F13th film. &nbsp;It has the kills. &nbsp;It has humor. &nbsp;It was even a little meta, years before Scream. &nbsp;I don’t necessarily care much for slashers, but this was an another level.

  My absolute favorite F13 film, it&apos;s just a fun slasher with creative kills and of course....Alice Cooper.
