I realize this is done a lot, but I didn't see it in the MI4 message board. Even if I missed it, so what? Here is my ranking and I would love to read yours.
Best to Worst:
MI3
MI1
MI4
MI2
MI3 - 7/10
MI:GP - 7/10
MI1 - 6/10
MI2 - 3/10

I enjoy them all. It's probably the most contradictory franchise running. It's on it's fifth installment, makes money, yet it also feels underrated and never really discussed.
I'm a bit of an odd man out as I think the second is pretty good and the 4th is the weakest. It's still a fun time, but it's a little too fluffy and light. Nothing really felt at stake.
MI1
MI4
MI3
MI2
2 is obviously my least favorite, but I certainly appreciate it for what it is. As for 3 and 4, they're always changing places for me.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
IV
I
III
II
M:i:III and Ghost Protocol (I absolutely love both of these films, almost equally)
Mission: Impossible
...
Mission: Impossible 2 (one of the worst action films I've ever seen, especially for a John Woo film)
M:I 1
M:I 2
M:I 3
M:I 4
They're all good though, with the first one being very good, classic.
Never let others dictate your opinion on a film:
