- 1 Highlander II: The Quickening (1991) Despised by anyone with a sense of taste, Highlander II is notorious for having one of the most difficult production cycles of any movie in history.
- 2 Highlander: The Source (2007) Set in the near future, the movie brought back much of the original cast from the TV show and served as a conclusion to Duncan McLeod’s story.
- 3 Highlander: Endgame (2000) Often called the best of the sequels, Endgame has become the topic of extreme debate in the Highlander fandom. While some think it’s a misunderstood marvel, others claim that the addition of Duncan McLeod was simply an excuse to cash in on the popularity of the TV show.
- 4 Highlander: The Final Dimension (1994) Despite borrowing heavily from a superior film, the movie’s plot is kind of stupid to say the least. While the game ended almost ten years before, everything restarts the moment a long-lost Immortal wakes up from a block of ice.

- Highlander (1986) The original "Highlander" is largely considered the absolute best of the franchise, and for good reason. The film follows the thrillingly tragic story of the immortal wanderer Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert), as we learn all about his past as a Scottish Highlander, his journey to becoming the greatest of the Immortals, and about the Game itself — the centuries-long battle between Immortals where only one will survive and attain "the Prize," a "Quickening" that gives the winner the power of all the Immortals.
- Highlander: III: The Sorcerer/The Final Dimension (1995) No, you didn't read that wrong — the next "Highlander" film you need to watch after the original is 1994's third entry, "Highlander III: The Sorcerer," which was more widely known as "Highlander: The Final Dimension."
- Highlander: The Series (1992-1998) "Highlander: The Series" sparked the initial debate among "Highlander" fans as to whether they preferred Connor MacLeod or his clansman and apprentice Duncan MacLeod (played by Adrian Paul), which feels vaguely similar to the classic "Star Trek" debate over Captains Kirk or Picard.
- Highlander: The Raven (1998-1999) The direct sequel/spin-off to "Highlander: The Series" is a bit less loved than its predecessor. Following Duncan MacLeod's on-again/off-again Immortal girlfriend and thief Amanda Darieux (played once again by Elizabeth Gracen), the series sets her on a path of redemption alongside ex-cop Nick Wolfe (Paul Johansson) who helps her on her quest.
