I like Hellraiser III myself, always felt it was underrated.

1 and 3 were the only ones i liked. I didn't even like the 2nd one. Bloodline is terrible, and the direct to video ones after that are more forgettable than anything.

I thought I was alone in not caring for the second one. I can never get into it.

Having seen the 1972 Tales From The Crypt movie for the first time in years and it's sequel, The Vault Of Horror, my favorite segment in each respective film is Poetic Justice and Drawn And Quartered.

The Conjuring 2 was awesome and the best yet of the series, IMO. Enjoyed The Purge: Election Year but think Anarchy is still the best overall of the three. The new Blair Witch was okay and I think I liked it a little more than the original; not seen Blair Witch 2.
