I really do have a nostalgic fondness for Freddy, but oddly I don't think I've seen any of them, aside from the original, more than once. I had skipped over 2 (Finally saw it on cable tv one afternoon only few years ago.), but I was the perfect age and social demographic to really appreciate 3 when it made it to home video. Too young to go see an R rated film until 5 rolled around, although I did manage to sneak into 4, which I recall enjoying almost as much as 3. 5 was a huge disappointment, but I recall FREDDY'S DEAD as fun fluff (Actually the ever unfolding map is my most vivid memory of the film.... I could totally relate. I have such trouble with maps!), and a cute send off to what Freddy had become.

Then a year or two later I got to see the original on the big screen for the first time, and was chilled to see Freddy actually being scary!

I recall not liking NEW NIGHTMARE at all. Not sure why though.
