    I saw this for the first time yesterday and it's crazy how every version of Robin Hood I've ever seen is just a blatant rip-off of this movie. Just great swashbuckling, Technicolor adventure, and once of the most charming adventure movies I've ever seen. Hell yes it belongs in the Canon.

    I suppose I just don't have a big enough appreciation for most slasher movies. They were never my thing. So I always lumped most of them in a different category than something like Halloween. I guess I didn't realize people thought of Nightmare on Elm street as canon worthy. And honestly I don't think I've seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre since like middle school, and wasn't a fan of it then, I should probably check it out again to see what I think of it now.

    Yeah I feel like there's no way Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street deserve to be in the Canon.

     

    I hadn't really thought of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, although I feel like if it was paired with either Psycho or Halloween it would lose without a chance. I know Psycho vs Halloween is a tough choice, but I feel like that's what the versus episodes should be.

    This one is super hard. In the end, both of these movies are so mired in nostalgia for me that's it's really hard to look at them both objectively. I revisited both, for like the fiftieth time each, and while I really love both movies and have really strong affection for them, I have to go with Superman. Batman was the closest the version of the character I enjoy has been portrayed in live action, since I think Mask of the Phantasm is my favorite. Batman gets the closest I've seen to portraying Batman in the way I want, but I think Superman nails the way I like Superman to be portrayed. So while personally I think I like Batman better, I think Superman succeeds more, and is a more concrete and well-made film, and more deserving of joining the Canon.

    I think it would be really interesting to look at these two movies, which I feel kind of jump-started the idea of a Slasher movie. Both feature knife-wielding serial killer that investigates their psychology more than something like Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street.

     

    I feel like these movies are oddly comparable and could create a pretty great debate between Amy and Devin.
