I'm going to list my in the order of the year they first came out.

1. Freddy vs. Jason (2003) - This was literally a fantasy movie come true, and that rarely happens. I also never recall anticipating a movie with more excitement then this one. I remember posting on so many message boards, discussing this film before it came out, and then going to an event called Camp HackNSlash out in the woods to see this movie.

As a kid, I was terrified of Freddy and Jason, and there was always discussions on the playground among the little boys at the Elementary school I went to as to who could beat who in a fight. When I got older, and got on the Internet, I discovered this topic did not just belong to the young boys I grew up in at school in this little small Texas town. It was infact a discussion that kids from all over the world talked about.

Yeah, it's a childish, but boys will be boys, and when we grew up, I think plenty of us are still little boys sometimes, just overgrown, and seeing Freddy vs. Jason finally came true fed this inner-child we all have. As funny as it is, Freddy vs. Jason presents these warm, fuzzy feelings of nostalgia I think is in a lot of us.

My love for this movie totally confirms I'm a manchild, but I'm not alone. This movie was made because for so many years, the fans talked about it, and requested it, and this big question over who was tougher became so huge, that Hollywood knew this would be a money maker, and it was, and was the number one film in the box office for two straight weeks in a row.

.....The movie is what it is. It's a popcorn and soda film. It's just entertaining and fun. I wasn't expecting to go in and see some "deep" Oscar worthy picture, nor did I think it was going to be the scariest movie ever made. It's more like an action/comedy. I think all we really wanted to see was Freddy and Jason fight. I think kids and sensitive viewers who don't watch lot of horror may be a little disturbed by some of the scenes, but other then that, I think it is very watchable and works as a stand-alone film.

Every time I watch this movie I am reminded of Camp HacknSlash and Salt Lick BBQ as well as all those feelings of excitement I had going into this movie. It was also the very first official Freddy and Jason film I ever saw from start to finish, and in the theater to top it off, so that is another reason why it's a favorite. This was also the final movie that the orginial Freddy and Jason appear in, so it's a very bittersweet kind of film. I'm happy the orginial Freddy and Jason worked so well together, and that their final movie was a movie that fans wanted to see for so long, and that it was so succesful.
