FRANCHISE RANKING: The "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" Movies
1. "Dead Man's Chest" (2006) - That is correct. The second entry in this particular franchise that continued the story of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann is my favorite. Not only did it introduced the characters of Captain Davy Jones, Tia Dalma and Lord Cutler Beckett; it just might be the darkest in the entire series and has one of the best movie endings I have ever, period.
2. "The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003) - This is the movie that introduced the franchise and is considered the most popular with the fans. Although not my top favorite, I still love it. The movie introduced Captain Jack Sparrow and company as they deal with a cursed Aztec treasure and the ghostly crew of Jack's former ship.
3. "At World's End" (2007) - In this third entry in the franchise; Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann and Hector Barbossa must lead a crew to Davy Jones' Locker and rescue Jack Sparrow in order to deal with the threat of Lord Cutler Beckett and the East India Trading Company, along with a vengeful Captain Davy Jones.
4. "On Stranger Tides" (2011) - This fourth and final (so far) entry in the franchise featured Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa's search for the Fountain of Youth. They also have to deal with the very dangerous pirate Captain Edward Teach aka Blackbeard. Entertaining, but not as good as the first three movies.
