Do John Carpenter next!!
Yes Agreed 💯
100%
Cant wait for him to rank Vampires honestly one of my favorite vampire movies
Yeah, affirmative, FUCKIN' correct.
Holygani
Surely more deserving to be called THE master of horror, than WC is.
You have one of the best horror channels out there. Simple and straight to the point
Thank you.
@@CodyLeachYT Could you review John Carpenter’s movies and rank them? After that can you review Steven Spielberg’s movies and rank them?
@@colewarnerreviews5834 my guess is the thing would be his number 1 :)
@@ShotgunSandwichENT obviously

You know Cody loves a movie when he laughs the second he brings up the movie- case in point, Deadly Friend!
Same situation. As bad as this movie is i laugh my ass every time I rewatch it
That is one of my favorite films from the eighties, as corny as it is. It is actually is one of the first ones I watched as a young child (7 or 8) back then. My father was a huge Craven fan, so this was my introduction to his catalog of films, leading me into A Nightmare on Elm Street a couple of years later. I definitely have a soft spot for this flick.
Follow up to my previous reply: this is a wonderful, schlocky film, and goofy as fuck. That being said, I can't help but think this could actually be a crazy reboot with a more serious tone. You gotta love it.
Love Wes Craven, legendary horror director. Here's my top 5
1. Nightmare on Elm Street
2. Scream
3. People Under The Stairs
4. Hills Have Eyes
5. Wes Cravens New Nightmare
Scream will always be his best imo. Nightmare 1 and new nightmare are great! I also find shocker severely underrated and very fun.
Obviously would love to see you do Carpenter but I would also like to see Guillermo Del Toro, Tobe Hooper, Sam Raimi, Dario Argento, and James Cameron
Another positive for Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (at least for me) is the fact it’s the only movie in the franchise where Freddy‘a glove isn’t made of metal and he has 5 knives instead of his traditional 4. Love the channel, Cody!
I love this channel! Such a great few weeks you and Wes gave us!
Awesome! Have been waiting for the whole week!!! Thank you, Cody!!!
I absolutely love the 1st Freddy film, but the 1st Scream is my FAVORITE, & that opening scene was AMAZING! 💫🔥💯
Scream is the best for sure
It was good but looking at the storyline it had no purpose nor the 2nd or 4th intro
@@jada8047 did u not even watch the movie btfu?
@@scubasteve8915 I was talking about the intro of 1 2 an 4 it had no purpose
I’m gonna be brutally honest, Wes Cravens New Nightmare is one of the most ambitious, amazing horror movies of its time. Period. New Nightmare and Nightmare are equals, and bookend one another impressively. Brilliant fucking movie
I’m with you. Think I saw it for the first time when I was like 10 and loved it since. New Nightmare is incredibly underrated, especially for what it is. Which is basically the patient zero for Scream.
@@skyofthelivingdead absolutely. It’s the ultimate slow burn of the Nightmare Films but also great that the demonic entity of Freddy just appears here and there until he is fully revealed at the end of the 2nd act. It’s impressive cause since watching it in 96(?) it’s still in my top 10 horror flicks
Yes!
Freddy looks terrible in New Nightmare. He looks like the creeper from Jeepers Creepers.
@@QuestNation3221 this came out wayyyy before creepers. And the makeup is great on England. If you understand the movie it’s not even Krueger, it’s a demonic entity in the form of Krueger, and not the actor playing Krueger, if that makes sense lol
Cody, thank you for all of this amazing content! I'm still working my way through your many videos and every single one is entertaining. You deliver your views in a thoughtful and funny manner. Your channel is one of the very best things on UA-cam!!
Cheers, sir!!
Loved the video and this whole series! I would love to see you review all the Sam Raimi films (aside from the evil dead and spiderman trilogies, since you already did those) and then a ranking. I think it would be fitting too since doctor strange is about to come out, and it's the first Raimi film we've gotten in a while!
Nothing like a Cody Leach video to perk up my Sunday
"Balls out crazy" is the perfect way to describe the People Under the Stairs. I love it. The "children" were some of the scariest things ever when I was a kid and totally unexpected compared to the rest of the movie. It was so confusing to me as a child to laugh and be completely terrified at the same time.
Oh how I miss Wes craven! Wes cravens new nightmare is of my all time favorite movies ever made. It was a legacy sequel before they were popular. Honestly Halloween H20 took a lot from new nightmare. Both of the movies revolve around the actress from the first film to protect their son and have one final battle with their arch nemesis. It’s so strange how not many people notice how similar these movies were.
Would love to see a ranking of all the John Carpenter films. He's my favorite director
I love the serpent in the rainbow. I like Bill Pullman and I love how they bring back the zombie from before they were flesh eaters.
Hey Cody! I would love to see you do a massive carpenter review series, but that’s an obvious one. Another one I would want you to maybe consider is a Martin Scorsese review series. Talk about movies from Taxi Driver, Raging Bull to Goodfellas and The Departed. That would be a cool one to see from you. I really like how you review movies.
Peace Dude!
Great content. Keep ‘em coming.
I really dig the end credits of My Soul to Take. It's actually really inspiring.
This is one of my favorite review videos of yours. I love the channel and content alot. My ranking of just the ones I've seen.
1. A nightmare on elm street. Favorite horror movie, villain and final girl ever.
2. Scream.
3. Scream 2
4. My soul to take. I understand why people dislike it but really enjoy it alot
5. The serpent and the rainbow
6. Scream 3
7. A new nightmare
8. Red eye
9. Deadly friend
10. People under the stairs
11. Scream 4
12. Shocker
13. The Hills have eyes
14. The last house on the left
People under the stairs is underrated very good movie
This has been one of your best review series in my opinion. Do you think that you will ever review his other movies he produced(like wishmaster), or his made for TV movies?
I loved wishmaster well the first two I watched like 30 mins of the third and I couldn’t even finish it cause it was awful.
Wishmaster 1, Dracula 2000, and Feast 1 are my favorite Wes Craven produced films. All fun gems that are insane but fun to watch.
@@aydenvavra2153 I also like wishmaster 2 as well. One of the TV movies Wes made that I kinda like is called CHILLER. Ever heard of it
@@murphythecat3652 I heard of it never watched it.
@@aydenvavra2153 Feast was awesome
Awesome ranking on such a legendary filmmaker
Serpent in the Rainbow sounds intriguing I will have to check it out and Scream 2 is my favorite Scream movies. This was a good ranking video of Wes Craven's films. Great job Cody!
Please do more of these
Awesome review series, hope you’re able to get around to doing more like this. John Carpenter please and thank you!
It would be cool to release his thing review at the 40th anniversary of its release
Nice! Couldn't wait for this vid man!
Great video Cody!! Always appreciate your views and opinions!!! Always well thought out and explained!!
Great review as always my boi Cody easily one of my top horror movie channels
Great ranking Cody! Only seen about half of them but was cool to hear about the ones I haven't checked out🙂
Since you've now done Craven and you've done Gunn, I think it would be sweet to see a Spielberg ranking.
So any great films but which one wins?!😆
My guy is almost at 80k. That’s crazy. New camera looks dope as well.
You're good bro. I appreciated every bit of the reviews. I've been down a a David Cronenberg rabbit hole lately.
Love these rankings. Would love to see Toby Hooper, John Carpenter or Sam Raimi!
John carpenter is his next
Awwwwww yeah this has been a long time coming man. Well done. Any plans for a next director to do this with? John Carpenter, George Romero, Dario Argento, Alfred Hitchcock, and Mario Bava would be good ones. I know Bava and Hitchcock are well before your time but they're awesome.
Hitchcock would probably take about 3 Years😂
A ranking on John Carpenter’s films would be awesome
If he does Bava & Argento I guess there hardly would be any movie with a positive rating. If you don’t already know, Italian horror doesn’t do anything for Cody!
@@dertodesking8379 I adore me some Bava and especially Argento but I completely understand why those films aren’t loved by everybody. Even though as a huge fan of Argento Giallo and Dracula 3D are garbage with very little redeeming things about em.
@@aydenvavra2153 Yeah Sleepless was his last good movie imo. I also love Italian horror - Argento, Bava, Fulci, Martino, Soavi… But it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, absolutely!
Honestly over time I feel The Serpent and the Rainbow has leaped past other Craven films for me. At the moment it's still my favourite of his by a margin. Not a fan of Scream 4 but if I'm being frank I kinda lost my love for the franchise after Scream 2; first two I enjoyed, I've typically got diminishing returns on anything after so I can leave the rest of the films and be perfectly content with the first two.
And can't fault your #1, Krueger at his most menacing. Still my favourite ANOES film by an absolute landslide. Awesome ranking! 👌
*I know this is a long shot but I'd love to see you rank Hitchcock's filmography just because there's so many layers/areas to explore with what he did.
I agree with you about the scream franchise. I would love if cody did a Hitchcock movie ranking.
Great list! I particularly love the high(ish) ranking for Deadly Friend. Can you rank Frank Henenlotter films?
Love the ranking/lists vids man! Do David Lynch films next! I’m surprised I haven’t seen any reviews of his classics on here
I'm proud of ya keep up the good work!
This video was a nice little surprise for my afternoon 🥰
Been a great set of reviews man , loved it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
8:45. Very surprised ya haven't reviewed that movie yet, Cody. Dying for it.😂
I would love to see another series like this exploring a foreign director such as Lucio Fulci or Dario Argento
His next will be John carpenter
Yeah I'd definitely love to see him do Argento solely for phenomena lol but him ranking Argento and Fulci movies is a great idea
Great review, Cody Wes was always my favorite horror movie director
Great channel idk why I’m binging this
Perfect list thanks Cody!!!!
Cody, that shirt is most excellent
ROOFUS!!!!!
Great list, Cody! I would love to see you rank Edgar Wright’s films, that would be interesting
I love this. Yes, I already knew that your top #1 was Nightmare on elm street. That is my ultimate favorite. Reason why I subscribed to you eons ago. and still the many reason why I respect and appreciate your channel. Thank you for your honest feedback.
Great ranking Cody! Would love to see your John Carpenter ranking if you haven’t already
Love your rankings and channel. I think it got better when you put more time in videos. Your Alien and Predator rankings for example are only 13 minutes, that needs a reboot😂
Wes Craven would be very proud of you
Would 100% be interested in a David Cronenberg filmography review, especially with his new movie coming out soon
I would like to see you do a John Carpenter review series (I know "SHOCKING", really).
With that said, confession time. I would switch 2 and 1 if this were my list. I have always wanted to like the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street". I understand the legacy and there's nothing I can do to take that away.
With that said, I like a horror movie to end where the evil is either defeated and/or escapes, or where it's left ambiguous like in movies like The Shinning or The Thing. Having to watch Nancy go on this journey to where she defeats this all-powerful slasher in Freddy Kruger ONLY for the ending to pull the rug out from under me like that has always kept me at arm's length from truly enjoying it. Still a good Slasher, defiantly a good Wes Craven film, just wish I could share in that love.
Love your rankings. Shocker was one of my childhood movies so it's higher on my list. It's very wacky.
I love Vampire in Brooklyn. It’s definitely on my top Craven’s films. It’s a fun classic. Nothing else. Eddie did pretty good. Angela Bassett is amazing. It’s good fun.
I'm a recent subscriber to your channel and love what I've seen thus far. One thing I gotta say about this video: I wasn't aware anyone else actually WATCHED "Deadly Friend", much less enjoyed it. 😂 Mad props for including that little nugget of ridiculous craziness in your video lol
Great video , I love most of Wes Craven's movies but A nightmare on elm street will always be #1 for me .
I didn't even realize that some of the movies on this list were Wes Ceaven. I was so young when I saw them (Swamp thing and Shocker). Love this list.
Shocker is one that starts out really neat and becomes a cartoon halfway through lol. Like this ranking keep it up Cody
Great list. Only difference I really have is I like shocker and ppl under the stairs a bit more.
Great ranking Cody, I can't disagree with any of your placings. For next director Carpenter would be great but how about a Hitchcock ranking maybe from the 50's on, or go for Kubrick! Either one would be given an interesting spin by you.
My personal ranking is:
20.Hills have eyes 2 (haven't seen)
19. Swamp thing (unwatchable)
18.Deadly blessings (forgetable)
17.cursed (release the craven cut)
16. Last house on the left
15. My soul to take (disappointing)
14. Vampire in Brooklyn (should be better)
13. Deadly friend (guilty pleasure)
12.Hills have eyes (good but dated)
11.Scream 3 (passable)
10.Shocker (entertaining)
9. Music of the heart (solid)
8.Scream 4 (good)
7. New nightmare (fantastic)
6.Serpent on rainbow (underated)
5. Red eye (excellent)
4. Scream 2 (top 5 horror sequels)
3.People under the stairs (great)
2.Scream (90s masterpiece)
1.Nightmare on elm Street (80s masterpiece)
Deadly Friend sucks!
My favorites from him are The Hills Have Eyes, Wes Cravens New Nightmare and probably Scream 4. I really love a lot of them about the same but those are the ones that I have the most fun with recently.
One good thing about 2020 when new movie releases came to a bit of a standstill was i got to see Elm Street 1984 on the big screen
I haven't seen every Wes Craven film but the ones I've seen are:
13. Shocker
12. People Under the Stairs
11. Vampire in Brooklyn
10. Last House on the Left
9. Hills Have Eyes
8. Scream 3
7. Wes Craven's New Nightmare
6. Scre4m
5. Red Eye
4. Scream 2
3. Serpent and the Rainbow
2 of some of the most iconic horror films ever
2. Scream 1996
1. Nightmare on Elm Street 1984
Great channel! Summer of fear aka Stranger in our house is missing.
I didnt include tv movies
I too love Scream 2 and ANOE! A review on John Carpenter's movies would be awesome!
I totally agree with you on people under the stairs! I probably would've put it lower
I would love to see you and the autopstream gang gang do a ranking of Craven and Carpenter films in a joint ranking. Maybe even agree on 31 to rank for a 31 on 31. What ranking could be better than that ?
Awesome series bro. EVer consider doing a sprcific actor movie ranks or performances? Sam Rockwell would be cool. My fav actor tied with Gary Oldman
I was hoping to see Scream 3 at least at Top 10 :( I think it's way better than people give credit to it. But nonetheless, great video
Great vid. My top 8 are:
8 Last House On The Left
7 Scream 3
6 New Nightmare
5 Red Eye
4 Scream 4
3 Scream 2
2 A Nightmare On Elm Street
1 Scream
Btw i agree with your thoughts on Last House On The Left. I watched it about 20 years ago, i thought it was good, but certainly not one i plan to ever re-watch.
Yup Nightmare is my number one as well. I can see why Wes didn't want a sequel. It works by itself. The Concept in it's original form is incredibly creepy and metaphorical.
The original Nightmare on elm street is always going to be my favorite of the series. Even though the first four are equally good, yeah I love Dream Master, sue me. But the first one to me is still the scariest Freddy has been because the way Craven shot him. You rarely see him, he's mostly hidden in shadows and he's more looming in presence whereas he becomes the star in the sequels. Its nearly a perfect movie, aside from the last two minutes..still a four and half star from me.
As for Directors catalogue's, I'd say take a chance on a classic horror director: William Castle.
Amazing ranking as always Cody how about a Sam Raimi review series
I think a Dario argento movie series review would be awesome cody
Hey Cody, random question for this video but do you have any opinions on the Terrifier series? 3rd one is suppose to drop this year I’d love a review on the first 2 from you
Cody did you get an updated camera? The clarity looks more fresh!
Yes I did
As always, great job. Carpenter would be a great next ranking.
haven't seen this yet. I love craven and I am a Cody fan! will be fun
Uh oh Cody watch supernatural🤘🏽 love that show love this channel.
Awesome video
1. Elm Street
2. Scream
3. People Under The Stairs
4. Hills Have Eyes
5. Last House on the Left
My true top 5 Craven. Rest in Peace, legend.
Wow, I loved the Serpent and the Rainbow when I was a kid, but never realized it was a Wes Craven film.
Scream 4 was my favorite of the Scream sequels. Loved the just balls to the wall manic opening. It was the perfect way to self-satirize while still being thrilling. The first of the Scream movies where the killer was a complete surprise. And some really good scenes in between. Scream 2 needed to get off that campus. It felt too much like H20 for me. Think I preferred 3 to 2 actually, except I did enjoy Jada getting gutted.
Been watching your channel probably from 2019 2020
Cody have you ever done a top 10 best final girls ? It would be super awesome, thk you x
Great series some of these I haven't seen but most of them I have and can agree with you on those
I think scream is his masterpiece.nightmare on elm streets final act where Freddy is turn into a home alone villain falling into traps loses me every time.and the scene her mom gets pulled in through the door I hate.
Awesome video, man! First time commenter. How about Tobe Hooper?
Red eye I felt was always underrated as a great thriller
Completely agree about Scream 4. Besides from the original, the fourth instalment is my other favourite. Don't understand the hate, the casting especially was amazing 😭
I love your shirt Cody, Rufus from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Great Movie and Great Character 👍😃
I’d love to see you do a ranking like this with George A Romero’s films. That’d be a real treat
Cody is a menace, he can watch “People under the Stairs” and think too goofy?😂😂😂😂
Love this Video because Wes is my Hero.
You should do a ranking of the video nasty list. In the UK during the 80s and 90s there was a massive overreaction in regards to violence in movies and the government went out and banned a bunch of movies that didn't deserve to be banned (you see much worse these days) would be interested to see all those movies ranked.
Director movie list I want is James Cameron
well he's only directed 7 feature films and every one of them is
great.. so he is 7 for 7 in my opinion in feature filmmaking...
with Avatar 2 up next..
