Now, that first answer ties right in to your next question. I saw The sequel first and was a huge fan, and, even after I finally saw the first, I would have taken part two over the original. As the years have passed and my viewing habits and tastes have morphed, that has changed. Today I find the first to be a better Horror film and one that has gained luster for me with many repeated viewings.
I hope that's what your looking for, Sculpt.

Yes, thank you, Repoad!
I saw ED2 in the 90's. I consider it one the best films all-time (any genre, but specifically Horror), and one of my favs.
I've never seen ED2 a second time. For the most part, I've never had a major desire to. When I saw it, it had my strict attention
. I'm confident I'd pass an ED2 exam. I remember it very well.
Now, you wouldn't be surprised to know I rarely re-watch films. In my opinion, watching a film the 'first time' is a once in a lifetime experience -- and I do mean more than just the obvious logic of that statement. Knowing what's going to happen next, in any film, especially Horror, is a big deal. I'm not against re-viewing, of course
, I'd just rather enjoy people or a new film, life-is-short-better-things-to-do, and I know I generally can't re-experience that 1st-time positive experience re-watching a film.
I've seen The Evil Dead twice. The second time was because of all the praise it's gotten, as I wanted to see "what I may have missed". That doesn't mean I think it sucks. I enjoyed it.
Ironically, I don't seem to remember ED1 very well. Could it be ED1 is more rewatchable because it's harder to remember?
I'm
partly joking...
I don't give 'points' to films for re-watchability. Just my opinion -- I think films should be judged for first-viewing... but then, I don't rewatch films much, so I guess I'm not a connoisseur.
