The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) is by far the best.  It's one of the best action movies I've ever seen.  The post apocalyptic world is fully realized.  They did all of these amazing stunts that people don't even try anymore.  There are so many weird and cool characters here.  I just love every aspect of it.  All of the others pale in comparison to the Road Warrior.

However, if I rank the others it would look something like this.

2) Mad Max - The storytelling is great here as is the characterization of Max.  It just didn't have the budget that Mad Max 2 did.  It's psychologically a great movie to watch, but doesn't visually communicate the dystopian world as well because of lack of budget.

3) Beyond Thunderdome - This movie is interesting, but the storytelling here is somewhat disjointed.  When he gets to the "Lost Boys" it kind of feels like I'm now watching a whole new movie unrelated to the first part.  Also the world changed too much in too little span of time.  It's starting to feel kind of like a fantasy world instead of a post apocalyptic version of our world.

4) Fury Road - This movie sucks.  It looks cool, but it's actually pointless.  Also, it feels like a full blown fantasy world now.  They might as well have thrown elves and hobbits into this.  It doesn't feel like a post apocalyptic world at all now.  It feels like Tolkien in the desert.  This movie is a high budget, steaming pile of trash with good action sequences.
