Remember having this here sometime ago. I went through the series again a couple of weeks back for F13 and March 13th this month also happens to be a Friday. Thought this would be fun to rank all twelve of them with Freddy Vs. Jason and the 2009 reboot included. My ranking goes:
The Final Chapter
Jason Lives
Part 2
The New Blood
Part 3
Part 1
Reboot
A New Beginning
Jason Takes Manhattan
Jason Goes To Hell
Freddy Vs. Jason
Jason X
While the films can be of varying quality I'm a big softee for the series as a whole as it got me not only into Horror at a young age but films in general. I always swing back and forth on 4 or 6 as my ultimate favorite. I wish the new one that keeps getting pushed back would finally see the light of day.

The New Blood never did much for me, it's okay and technically better than Manhattan, but I find Manhattan a more fun watch.

I find it interesting how the entries the more hardcore fans seem to dislike (8, 9, 10 and sometimes Freddy Vs. Jason which has a 50/50 reception) are much more well-liked by more casual viewers of the series.

I'm glad to see Jason Takes Manhattan not getting crapped on too much. That one, along with the one where Jason takes on the girl with the mental/telekinetic powers, were the only ones I could sit through and enjoy.

The one with the telekinetic girl is Part VII: The New Blood.

Also, does the TV show Friday the 13th count? I mean, it was terrible and had absolutely nothing to do with the movies, but still.

It had nothing to do with the movies at all. It was actually pretty good, though.

I liked the first 7. 5 only for advancing the Tommy story arc. Thought the rest sucked.

I liked Jason X, didn't take itself seriously, and it shouldn't since most of the movies are terrible, couldn't rank them though, except Jason Goes To Hell at the bottom, because it's garbage.

Some I haven't watched for years now, but really roughly speaking I remember it something like this:
The Final Chapter
Jason Lives
Part 1
Part 2
Jason X
The New Blood
Part 3
A New Beginning
Jason Takes Manhattan
Jason Goes To Hell
Still haven't seen Freddy Vs. Jason. I was too annoyed that Kane Hodder got the push, missed that boat and just haven't gotten round to ever seeing it yet. Or the reboot either.

I didn't care for FVJ but the reboot is pretty decent.

The Final Chapter
My favorite in the series and the ending of Jason's biggest killing spree since 2, 3 and TFC all happened over less than a week. Great characters, kills and felt like a good ending to this chapter of the series. Having a child in the movie was a new twist and Tommy being the end for Jason was interesting. Having Tom Savini back was great!
Jason Lives
This movie felt like the best balance of horror/comedy of any in the series. Love all the reference with Jason coming back like Frankenstein, the grocery store being Karloff's, Cunningham Road, and Carpenter being a neighboring town. Alice Cooper's song in the film.
Part 3
First in the series to have the hockey mask and some of my favorite characters. Always loved Shelley and the bikers. I'm also a sucker for this style of 3D.
Friday the 13th
Where it all started! First saw this when I was 5 years and acted all tough by not being scared in the movie.... Then Jason comes out of the lake and I freaked out! Tom Savini rocks!
Part 2
Felt a lot like the original since it wasn't really a series yet, but still good. Sack Jason is creepy and scary in a different way even though I prefer the hockey mask.
Jason X
I love this movie and feel it gets hate just for being Jason in space. Enjoyed the kills, comedy and uber Jason.
A New Beginning
Could have been done better.... Still like most of the kills. Wish they had made it more of a mystery as to who the killer was since it was always very obvious to me that it was Roy.
Jason Takes Manhattan
Wish more of it had been in manhattan, but understand that the budget killed that. Need to watch this again since it was one of the few I didn't watch last month for that Friday the 13th.
The New Blood
Interesting idea for a Jason movie. What hurts this movie for me is the editing and even before reading about their struggles with the MPAA online I could tell that some kills had to be edited. I did really like Jason being set on fire and wish a version was released with the kills uncensored.
Remake
Maybe I should give this another viewing since I only watched it once when it hit DVD. Wasn't amazed with it and would watch rather watch 1-8-Jason X over it anyday.
Jason Goes To Hell
The Jason movie with not much Jason. Didn't like the body switching or trying to add backstory to Jason with the house and never got where the magic Jason killing knife came from.
Freddy vs. Jason
Kane not being Jason hurt this movie because at that point he was Jason. Some of the new things they did like making Jason scared of water were terrible and even for a slasher the acting was crap.
My top picks and bottom usually stays the same with the movies in the middle changing over time. I use to dislike A New Beginning due to the Roy twist, but gave it another chance and now I really like it for how crazy it is. I'd rank The New Blood higher if we ever got a Director's cut since everything I've read and seen in behind the scenes docs talk about it as the most edited by the MPAA. Even though I rank The New Blood right above my bottom 3 I'd watch it 100 times before watching any of them.

I'd give the reboot another chance, I find it definitely gets better with rewatches.
