Avatar vs. A Nightmare on Elm Street

Avatar was pretty good, but the length gives Nightmare the nod.

I never saw the whole appeal of Avatar. Nightmare is a far stronger film.

Avatar by miles.

Nightmare on Elm Street by Miles easy!

Nightmare has issues in the third act, and the final plot resolution is weak. Avatar is kind of derivative and tedious, and goes overboard with its "look how pretty this is" shot selection, but it wins here.

Avatar’s only good thing is the visuals effects, everything else falls flat. Nightmare rains supreme above it. It has superior characters, pacing, etc. Heck even the music is better. Avatar’s is just okay-ish, sounding generic and unmemorable; while Nightmare’s fits with the movie, feeling surreal, dream-like.. or, Nightmare-like I should say.
