As far as I'm concerned, as long as you avoid the one's with "Freddy" in the title (2 and 6), they're all awesome. Dream Warriors has a good story and Heather's back. Dream Master was the most stylish, and the fight Alice has with Freddy at the end is damn cool. Dream Child... yeah, Freddy turned into a lame comedian, but those backstory flashbacks of his mom being attacked by 100 maniacs are beautifully creepy. Both of Wes Craven's... what can you say, perfect bookends... easily the smartest two in the series.
