How would you rank them... from best to worst?

1š Hellraiser

2š Hellbound (Hellraiser II)

3š Hellraiser IV (Bloodline)

4š Hellraiser III (Hell on Earth)

For me, the rest of the sequels itīs not Hellraiser, itīs another thing.

Yep ours are almost the same but I have to put #2 at the top.
I love the surreal nature of the whole thing and how it expanded the world.
It was also the first Hellraiser movie I had seen so I'm sure that plays into it a little.

So:

Hellbound: Hellraiser II
Hellraiser
Hellraiser IV
Hellraiser 3

But of course when I watch them I do so in order. 1,2,3,4

The films after 4 seem like a different series... or volume if you will.
Hellraiser Season 2? Pfft

For me I can't watch 1 or 2 without watching the other. It makes one large story that made sense to me. Also that is how I got introduced to the Barkerverse. It was a Hellraiser double feature on Cinemax one night. I swear I did not blink from the time Frank got ripped apart in the beginning of 1 till the doors of hell closed in 2. After that I tried to find out all I could about these movies and Clive Barker. Not easy without the internet back then.
