Who doesn’t love franchises? I know that I do. Even more so, when you are watching movie franchises or even specific genres, you almost start to wonder where they rank among the other films. Because of this, I have decided to take a deep dive into franchises, genres, and even reality TV shows and rank them in the order of which I prefer them. 

Of course, rankings spark conversation because often times one person’s rankings vary from another person’s rankings. Although that may be the case, don’t be throwing stones at these rankings; maybe discuss where you think I may have it wrong. I love the idea of great conversation, especially in the film and TV space. So let’s dive into the rankings and sound off in the comments. 

‘The Purge’ Movies Ranked

5. The Forever Purge

Adela and her husband, Juan, live in Texas, where he works as a ranch hand for the wealthy Tucker family. Juan impresses the Tucker patriarch, Caleb, but that fuels the jealous anger of his son, Dylan. On the morning after the Purge, a masked gang of killers attacks the Tuckers, forcing both families to band together and fight back as the country spirals into chaos.

4. The Purge

In an America ravaged by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government sanctions an annual 12-hour period during which all criminal activity — including murder — is legal. James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) and his family face the ultimate test when an intruder drags the vicious outside world into their home. James, Mary (Lena Headey) and their two children struggle to survive the night while trying not to turn into monsters like the ones they are striving to avoid.

3. The Purge: Anarchy

One night per year, the government sanctions a 12-hour period in which citizens can commit any crime they wish — including murder — without fear of punishment or imprisonment. Leo, a sergeant who lost his son, plans a vigilante mission of revenge during the mayhem. However, instead of a death-dealing avenger, he becomes the unexpected protector of four innocent strangers who desperately need his help if they are to survive the night.

2. The First Purge

To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the others, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

The Purge: Election Year is a 2016 American political action horror film written and directed by James DeMonaco and starring Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Mykelti Williamson. It is the sequel to The Purge: Anarchy and is the third installment in the Purge franchise. Wikipedia
