Mine is H1,H2,H20
Myn is RZ remake and H2, its allot tighter which feels like a continued story, the mask feels very much the same, and shows greater scars Michael left on the town
Cool thread Ryan 
For me, it’s H1 then H2, and since I was in jr. high school H2 is when Michael died 
I love H4, however and the RZ remakes.
I like the ending of H20. Laurie finally facing her fears and killing Michael. Resurrection kinda ruined it 
I always liked the thorn run. …wish they had linked it up H20…
I did enjoy RZH1 but didn’t care for the follow up at all

I prefer the H1-H6 timeline. I could never get into “Michael Myers in California” as presented in H20, and I abhor Resurrection. Plus, Donald Pleasence makes H5 and H6 completely more tolerable.
I also don’t mind the RZH1 & 2 timeline, and consider them (mostly the first one) a breath of fresh air for a franchise that had gone stale.
Mine is H1,H2,H20!
I don’t mind H4 and actually like it but the town really didn’t look like Haddonfield and I feel Michael didn’t look right. He felt a bit too large and stiff.
IMO H5 was just plain silly, especially the 2 cops and the cartoon-ish music that played when they were on screen. Michael’s mask looked very different from what was in H4 and it was supposed to be a direct continuation. In H5 Jamie attacked her step mother, but in H4 she was her foster mother. The continuity was way off.
H6 was alright but again the town didn’t look like Haddonfield and the cult stuff ruined the mystery that made Michael so scary. I always feel that once you start explaining what makes a character like Michael tick it makes it less scary. The unknown is what makes it unsettling.
Resurrection ruined the great ending of H20 and after the Jamie Lee Curtis scenes I feel it went down hill fast.
I never saw the RZ Halloweens.
I like both H1 alone and H1, 2, 4, 5, 6 (t-cut).
No other timelines truly interest me, save for part 3 solo. The Halloween series should always end open ended like 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 did.
To me it’s H1, H2 and then nothing happened until H20 and then it’s the end of Michael. The part in H20 when Laurie yells at Michael and the Halloween theme music comes in gives me the chills everytime I watch it
I selected 1,2,4,5,6 however I would have said 1,2,4,5 if available as I felt H6 didn’t really feel like it belonged to any of the other films in the series.
I added H1 H2 H4 H5 to the list.
But everyone needs to revote!! 
Also, been a fan of the Laurie Strode Trilogy, so mine is H1, H2 and H20.
I also love H4, H6 and the remake.
H1-H6 ALL THE WAY!
I enjoy all of the different Halloween canons. HOWEVER from a story perspective I think the first one when viewed on its own is the most scary. I love how John Carpenter kind of broke the rules of making a movie and gave us no back story, no motive, no answers, no closure. Evil exists, it’s out there and there’s not a measure of control you have over that, not even understanding.
Honestly would have loved to seen the series go…
1, 2, 4, 6. H20 DONE.
A better backstory after 4 into 6 weaving the thorn into play then H2O and then be completely done
Bumping this
Though I love all of the movies, aside from the RZ storyline…
If available I would go H1, H2, and H4.
Maybe even H1, H2, H4, and H2O even though there is no real link between H4 and H2O.

I voted H1, H2. I’m glad the other movies exist, but IMO 1&2 work together great. I think of the films that come afterwards as “spin-offs”, in a sense. Too many hands in the pot. New masks, characters, etc. Basically, cult film sequels and remakes that fans of Halloween will enjoy, but they don’t stand up as especially good movies to people not into that sort of thing. Personally I get lots of enjoyment out of the various masks and so on, but they feel almost like “fan films” compared to the originals (which goes for RZ as well, maybe the ultimate Halloween fan). They carry on the spirit of Halloween but not the essence. I think that’s one reason John Carpenter can’t stand them, lol. H2 is a most-interesting film to me due to Carpenter’s relative involvement. He produced it and wrote the script, but didn’t want to direct. He was half-hearted about it. He saw that fans might view the open-ended H1 finale as an unsatisfying lack of closure, but he also knew that he couldn’t make a better film the second time around, and didn’t want to deal with all the hassles of directing yet another low-budget horror film with more or less the same elements and characters as the first one, just because people were so high on the success of the first. Sort of the lightning never strikes twice idea…there’s no way he wanted to make the success of H1 seem like a fluke, and figured that it was best left alone rather than potentially weakened with an after-thought of a sequel. Clearly he didn’t have his mind completely made up one way or the other, or he wouldn’t have had anything to do with H2, let alone playing such a large role. Interesting to me anyway. It’s like he knew how and why to influence the second film enough on a creative level to do his best to prevent it from sucking, lol…but didn’t have full confidence that it could really hold a candle to the first. And some people are with him on that…whereas others see H1/H2 as like one long film, best appreciated together, as a singular work, with a stronger first than second half.
Carpenter knew Halloween was a classic and absolutely could not be improved upon or matched by way of a sequel without some sort of magic occurring, and he just didn’t see that in the cards. It’s interesting too, because right around that time, The Empire Strikes Back was made…possibly the only time other than The Godfather Part II that the sequel of a classic was equal or greater than the original. Since then we have seen very few great sequels to classic films…off the top of my head I can only think of Terminator 2 and Aliens. And both times there, I still think the first film wins.
My favorite is H1,H2, and H20 just a great trilogy and great way to come full circle with H20
H1,H2,H20,Resurrection. I always thought the opening to resurrection was awesome.
