REMINDER: NoES personal rankings are due by end of this Friday, Oct. 24. So, get ’em in, or Freddy is coming for you!
It’s a question that has caused cinema fans to lose countless hours debating: What is the best and worst of any given film franchise?
ScreenAge Wasteland aims to find common ground by asking its community to participate in a collaborative ranking of the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series. The nine eligible movies are: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), 3: Dream Warriors (1987), 4: The Dream Master (1988), 5: The Dream Child (1989), Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991), Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994), Freddy vs. Jason (2003), and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).
How to Participate
Submit your ranking of the nine ANoES films to info.screenagewasteland@gmail.com or drop ’em down in the comments below by Friday, October 24.
All you have to do is order the movies you’ve seen from best to worst. Also, include a sentence or two (no longer than a paragraph, please) for each movie (your favorite part, why it is great/terrible, etc).
Here’s an example of what a response might look like for Pixar’s A Bug’s Life:
- Surely most people put this at the bottom of their list? For all I know A Bug’s Life is much better than I remember, but I think it was forever cursed as being “not as good as Toy Story.” I sure as hell know it is better than Antz though.
NOTE: You can participate as long as you have seen at least half of the films. DO NOT rank films you have not viewed. The scores will be adjusted depending on how many films are included in your ranking.
Once the deadline has passed, we’ll tally up the various rankings, cherry-pick the best responses for each film, and put together a massive collab ranking to release on Halloween!
