Whilst the first film is my favourite horror film of all time, I also really like Damien: Omen II. However, The Final Conflict is not good at all (except for Sam Neill's performance) but it's still so much better than that rubbish TV movie Omen IV.
I've never actually seen the US remake. Is it nigh on identical to the original?
Steelbook or not, you should do the blu-ray upgrade with them at some point! As soon as I collected them all on blu-ray (I had a few on DVD, just never felt like making the upgrade until a few years ago), I did a nice marathon of them straight through.

Could they just drive a stake through the found footage angle right now. Shame about Mears though, if true. I liked the MacGyver Jason we had in the reboot.
It was like the 'Saw' films, where they were much better watched as a marathon. I hated everything after 'Saw 2,' but had much more appreciation for the rest of the films when I watched them in a row. Even though the only RE film I don't like is 'Retribution,' it was still pretty entertaining when watched immediately after the rest of the films.
Since I accepted the fact that the films would never be literal adaptions of the games, I have grown to enjoy the films for their blend of Action & Horror, two genres that I have much love for.
@MajorDSmythe, you and I both. I hated 'Extinction' when I saw it in theaters, but once I rewatched it a few times on DVD and blu-ray, it grew on me, and now I really enjoy it. After my last marathon, I'd probably rank them:
1.) 'Apocalypse'
2.) 'Resident Evil'
3.) 'Extinction'
4.) 'Afterlife'
5.) 'Retribution'
There's a strong tie between #'s 2-4, though.
1. Resident Evil: Afterlife
2. Resident Evil: Apocalypse
3. Resident Evil: Retribution
4. Resident Evil: Extinction
5. Resident Evil
I haven't seen 'Jason Goes To Hell' since I was a kid, but it had some tense scenes and amazing kills, like the pole kill in the diner (where he yanks the pole through him into the girl who stabbed him.)
I might have to treat myself for Christmas and pick up the entire blu-ray collection. I've restricted myself from buying any of them on blu-ray just for that reason.
The multiple kills that Jason scores in the cargo hold from Jason X are notable runners up. Especially the unfortunate chap whom gets his neck slowly snapped by Jason. We hear every crunch before his body slumps lifeless.
How about Jason's own so-called deaths? His head sliding down the machete in part IV is a wonderful little moment. And when Kelly Rowland takes it in FvsJ, I'm kinda cheering too, but for all the wrong reasons I guess. ;-) First she gives Freddy the finger, then she turns around, goes "oh-oh" with her facial expression and YES! Dimi happy. ;)
I also love the part in FvJ with Kelly when she's in the burning cabin, punching Jason (with some choice words), and he backhands her, she lets out an "ahhh!", and goes flying into the wall. Hilarious.
EDIT: I found the first three F13 films for less than $5 a piece on blu-ray, and figured it would be cheaper to get them all separately at that rate. But, it appears that the first three films, FVJ, and the reboot are the only ones available on blu-ray separately. All the other parts, including 'Jason X' and 'Jason Goes To Hell' are unavailable, with no given release date, so the only way to get the entire collection would be to buy the full collection itself. Shame.
I agree, but if I have a choice between DVD or blu-ray, I'm always going to select the latter. :)
I still prefer Tina in the original film. Man, there's a brutal moment for sure!
