A trilogy and two follow-ups
The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest and At World's End tell one story, so watch them back to back.
On Stranger Tides is a mostly standalone adventure, and Dead Men Tell No Tales brings back characters from the trilogy, so it is best watched after the first three films.

Pirates of the Caribbean watch order questions
What order should I watch the Pirates of the Caribbean movies in?
Release order: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, At World's End, On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Do I need to watch the first three Pirates films before the others?
Yes, ideally. Dead Men Tell No Tales brings back characters from the trilogy, and On Stranger Tides is easier to follow once you know Jack Sparrow.
Is On Stranger Tides connected to the others?
Loosely. It is a mostly standalone adventure that does not need the trilogy's other storylines.
How long does it take to watch all five?
About 12 hours for all five films.
