Just last year I got 1&2 DVDs, I had only seen them once years ago. These are among my very favorites of all horror films ever made.
I may slightly prefer the second one.

I've always enjoyed Clive Barker, and Hellraiser is an integral part of my childhood. In-retrospect, I believe the idea and concept might be more than the means of Clive Barker as a director or storyteller, (at least in his beginning stages) but I believe a lot of good has been done with it. In-particular, I really enjoyed the fifth film, Inferno, which I thought was a well-made film.
