Films are a influence by a variety of factors. Pirates of the Caribbean, on the other hand, is one of the few pieces of art inspire by a theme park attraction. The first film, based on a Disneyland ride of the same name, was released in 2003 and was an instant smash. Pirates of the Caribbean is still one of the best fantasy swashbuckler film franchises of all time, 18 years and five films later.

With his unkempt style, a mix of smart and salty sense of humour, eternal passion for rum, and the weirdest way of inviting trouble, Depp’s Jack Sparrow remains the most iconic and loveable character. Whatever you think of the performer, we can’t deny that the role has had a significant impact.

Now that a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film is in the works, it brings back memories of the previous five films and the magical adventures of the men at sea. However, deciding which one to see first, or if the five films plus the short feature in the Pirates of the Caribbean series should be look in any particular order, can be difficult.
First, let’s have a look at those five films along with a short one.
