The Evil Dead--Full Uncut Version [1982] with Special FeaturesThe Evil Dead--Full Uncut Version [1982] with Special Features
Buy new: £14.99 / Used from: £1.69
Raimi's inventive debut. Kinetic camerawork, and darkly humerous OTT violence and gore makes a classic.
Crimewave [1985]Crimewave [1985]
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £2.99
Sam's tribute to old-school slapstick comedy. A very underrated film. Written by the Coen Bros. Was later disowned by Raimi.

Buy used from: £2.98
His follow up to Evil Dead is a true masterpeice. The camera is wilder, the acting is better, the special effects are better and the plot has improved. Probably the greatest horror-comedy ever made!
Darkman [1990]Darkman [1990]
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £3.50
Sam sets the seeds for Spider-man with his genious self-conceived superhero flick. Just as the title suggests, very dark in some places, but Sam proves he can do great things with a big budget.
Army Of Darkness - Evil Dead 3 [1993]Army Of Darkness - Evil Dead 3 [1993]
Buy used from: £9.35
Rounding off the series with Army of Darkness. This one is much lighter than the previous 2 in terms of gore, and is more of Sam's homage to classic adventure movies. The slapstick humour shines thru!
The Quick And The Dead [1995]The Quick And The Dead [1995]
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £2.99
Mr. Raimi proves he can do western...well! His unique vision brings so much to this star studded movie and makes it so much better than it could've been. Very fun and very underated.

Raimi's character peice, contains very intelligent writing, great acting and story as well as some nice developments in Raimi's style. Needs a better DVD!

Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.60
Raimi goes back to horror, but this time around tackles the psychological side, and really makes an outstanding picture with an outstanding unpredictable cast. Great movie.
Spider-Man [2002]Spider-Man [2002]
Buy new: £2.67 / Used from: £0.75
Finally Raimi gets the project he needs. Tackling a comic book icon after X-Men was a tough act to follow, and Raimi pulled it off better. Proving indie cult directors are the best for comic book flms

Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.98
Thought Spidey 1 wa good? You aint seen nothing yet. What i beleive to be the greatest comic book movie ever, is packed with tongue in cheek humour, classic Raimi directing and amazing set peices.

Get Raimi's complete trilogy in great fold out packaging. Quite hard to find these days but worth it for the Extra fourth disk alone.
Spider-Man 2 (Gift Set) [2004]Spider-Man 2 (Gift Set) [2004] by Tobey Maguire
Buy new: £2.99 / Used from: £2.39

Raimi co-wrote this with the Coen's, and you can really see his writing shine through more than the others.

If you're interested in where the Darkman story goes after the first, here you go. Not a patch on the original but still pretty fun.
Darkman 3 - Die Darkman DieDarkman 3 - Die Darkman Die by Jeff Fahey
Darkman 3, the same people behind number two. Better than two but no where near as good as one.

A good book for those who want more info on the making of the three films.

Ahh an amazing book. the ever raimi-tortured Bruce Campbell spills the beans on his career and gives a lot of his personal stories from the making of the three evil dead movies. Great book!
