film was the best and there really is not argument that the 1st wasn't the best? Jurassic Park maybe? any others.

Rocky

Other movies in that series are more fun than the original, but the first movie is clearly the best as a movie.

Probably a lot of slasher movie franchises would fit this criteria. Scream, Halloween, etc.

no way, 1-4 are all pretty equal tbh

Fast and the Furious

not even close. tokyo drift, Fast5, and FastX are all better

Scream

yea

Not Halloween because Halloween III exists

halloween 2 is really good anyway. it's in a hospital, it's great. Carpenter wasn't the only talented person working on Halloween, Debra Hill produced a bunch of great movies and even wrote some of the dialogue in halloween anyway.

i think the ones we mentioned would be the only one. Friday the 13th 1-4 are all great but they go down after that until Jason X, which is definitely not better than the first 4 even if it's good.

V/H/S/2 was better than 1

Insidious 1 was the only good one, idk how many they made

Nightmare on Elm Street you might be tempted to say, however, New Nightmare is phenomenal.

Hellraiser....almost.... but all the cool Leviathan shit happens in the 2nd one....

Alien is definitely the best, imo.

Nah. Of those 4, the first movie is by far the best. 2 was good, but wasn't as good as the first movie. 3 is one of the weaker Rocky films, and 4 is dumb, 80's "America, Fuck Yeah" type fun.

Film franchises where the first is indisputably the best? Predator sure, but Alien is being dishonest now, even if you personally enjoyed it more than the sequel theres no argument there

Hellraiser.

Nearly every subsequent film pretty much forgot or didn't understand what the Cenobites were supposed to be and what they were meant to be doing.

No one argues 2 is better than 1 though. 3 is so different it's possible to argue

If you had asked the first two movies instead of the first, there would be a lot. But just the first

Godzilla (Japanese original cut) and Halloween come to mind. Especially because they both have multiple reboots that ignore the sequels.

Predator
King Kong
Die Hard

If you dont really count successful series:
Exorcist (edit: never mind, missed 5 entries)
Jaws

so far the only acceptable answers to TC's question I've seen:
  • Predator
  • Scream
  • Ghostbusters
  • Highlander
I submit Jurassic Park and the first Transformers movie in the Bayformers saga.

Jurassic Park was in the OP.

Anyway, if the question was the first two, right off the bat youd have Star Wars, Terminator, Alien, and Hellraiser.
