<p>To contrast with the other answer, here's a roughly chronological order (of just the movies).</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/22677/Appleseed_Alpha" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Appleseed Alpha</a></li>
<li><a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/54/Appleseed_(Movie)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Appleseed (2004)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/2969/Appleseed_Saga_Ex_Machina" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Appleseed Ex Machina</a></li>
</ol>
<p>Also, note that there is a movie adaptation of <em>Appleseed XIII</em> if you are interested. However, according to <a href="http://appleseed.wikia.com/wiki/Appleseed_XIII" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the Appleseed Wiki</a>, it's actually a &quot;relaunch of the series following the 2003 and 2007 films.&quot;</p>
