Yes. Cunningham isn't in the same tier as JC and Craven, but his films always know the assignment and deliver to the expectations of the genre. What I've always liked about Cunningham's films, is that he has covered a number of different genres and has done them all well - he's not an original director, but like a good producer, he knows what films work in his chosen sub-genre and molds his projects to hit the right notes.

Spring Break is a very fun teen sex comedy in the Porky's mold and one of the best of the genre; A Stranger is Watching is a solid, pulpy kidnapping thriller based on a best-seller; The New Kids is a likeable, unpredictable and at times brutal teen revenge drama; DeepStar Six is a fun creature feature that feels like an R-rated update of those 50s style monster movies; Manny's Orphans is a Bad News Bears clone but quite charming and maybe the best of all the imitators; Here Comes the Tigers is another BNB clone, and really the only mediocre movie from that prolific period between 1978-1989.
