3. Evil Dead II (1987)

Director: Sam Raimi

Eli Craig says: Evil Dead II is so creative and different. It felt like when they were telling the story it was no-holds-barred. Bruce Campbell gets to put a chainsaw onto his wrist! Everything feels so free; it feels like anything could possibly happen.

Some of the miniatures they have, where there's like claymation or something— there's just a lot really fun, creative, B-movie filmmaking there. It's just gleeful. That's a really fun film to watch. You feel the joy that the filmmakers are having in telling the story.
