This is a tough poll to answer.
+1 for Remake deserving a place in the poll.
1 was a solid game, but was surpassed to the point that it feels so different when you go back to it.
2 is instantly in the running for being what it is, it's the game I grew up on and is still so playable now. My favourite soundtrack of any game, and EASILY the best ending music I've ever heard. It says everything without a word.
3 is one of those sequels that was a mixed bag. Some improvements, some things lost, but overall a quality game. I wouldn't have even known it existed as a kid unless I saw a magazine with it in. I need to play BK3 again, the Western version cuts and changes so much! Poor Ash. I'm pretty sure the Steam Workshop has that as a downloadable.
Remake is a love letter of the highest standard. 10 years in the making with permission from Sega the whole way until Sega realised what an amazing job unpaid fans did and C&D'd it. If you haven't played it, play it. Customisation for everything you could want, more unlockables than you could ever expect, and to include everything from the previous games and then expand upon that with route changing and extra stages is an incredible achievement. Possibly the best fan game ever made, without hyperbole.
4 is a surprise. The initial reveal made it look like an awful cash in that retained nothing of the series, but it turned out to be brilliant. It needs some patches on all systems, and it's not a perfect game by any means, but it adds things to the gameplay that you can't go back from. If there's a 5, I'm comfortable knowing they're only going to make it better than 4.
