I wouldn't say any of those were a waste of time. I would say that every single one of those are worth a visit, even Puppet Master (I remember watching that when I was too young to sh*t correctly). All of the originals up there are pretty decent. But, I don't care for some of them; James Bond, Star Trek, and Godzilla. On the other hand, I love the original Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Return of the Living Dead, Sleepaway Camp, Jaws, and Halloween.

Although, I would say most of the originals are worth watching, at least once, most of the sequels aren't worth sh*t. Unfortunately.

I agree with you there. The originals are mos def worth watching. I think once they hit the 3rd movie mark that's enough and sometime's pushing it. 4th is like.....way pushing it, I can only see it happening only if it's really good.

I really hate when they make a sequel of a movie that was real good, but the sequel wasn't as good or it didn't make the theaters.

Yeah, in most cases the very first sequel is such a let down. However, sometimes there is a surprise. For example, Nightmare on Elm Street 7: A New Nightmare. Probably the best or second best sequel of the series. A decent movie.
