Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th Part II
Friday the 13th Part III
Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Friday the 13th Part V: A new Beginning

If you want instant Jason action then either start at Part II or Part III. But if you want a bigger grasp of the story and are okay with Jason not being the killer then start with the Original. I warn you though some things won't make sense. Also the films get Really silly when you get to Part VIII

You could watch them backwards. They are all basically the same thing anyway. Reading the wiki page will give you all the info you need and save you the hours of watching those mediocre movies.

if u want to know the storyline, start with the first.

[Clord]

Don't start with the remake unless you already know what happens in the first three movies.

Just watch them in release order, taking account the spin-offs.

My personal favorite (even tho its not that great) is part VIII, followed by part VII. Something about zombie Jason.

just cause they were made in the 80s doesn't mean they suck(they have color), hell i've watched those black and white movies made in 60s-70s for a english class paper and they actually were interesting!

u can watch them on solarmovies in 720p HD for free which is pretty sweet. https://solarmoviez.to/

also vip1/vip2 isn't working for some reason so click on server list and select OPENLOAD and you're ready to watch.

I say they are mediorce because they are. Nothing special about them imo. I've never been a fan of the franchise. This is regardless of color or not. There are plenty excellent black and white movies.

Friday the 13th movies are the definition of the campy, 80's style slasher flicks. The movies in quality and content may lack some things, and some of the stories get rather wild (VII, VIII, and Jason Goes To Hell, in particular) but strip them down to the basic concept, and they are fun movies.

I've seen them all several times and own all of movies in hard copy form, but maybe I'm just partial to these movies, because I was an 80's kid and grew up with these movies, and they never failed to make me turn on all the lights after watching one. That was the feeling that I look back on now and what was enjoyable about them.

And not only those movies, but the original Halloween movies, and Nightmare on Elm St. movies were the same way. Campy, predictable, but they had a way of evoking fear in someone, and that was the fun for me.

Movies now are all about the instant jump scares and such. The older horror movies and the thrill of the hunt and drawing out the tension is what made them enjoyable.

But then again, thats just the opinion of an old man who is partial to 80's slasher flicks.
