1, 2, First Class, and DOFP are the ones you absolutely need to watch.
But I recommend you watch X-3 anyway so that you understand why DOFP had to be made.
X-2 really is a classic. Still remember the hood theater's reactions to every cool scene. The presidential assasination scene
Negroes stood up and applauded when Nightcrawler teleported Rogue back into the jet
When the X-2 theme song came in at the end of DOFP I shed a tear for my childhood
The scene where the mansion gets raided and Wolverine goes full beastmode in the kitchen and stabs dude had every lit at the cinerama theater. When the body dropped and Wolverine turned to check on Iceman, you could see his claw marks on the fridge and we all went wild

X-2 was a classic. It was the first of the better class of superhero films. Every ranking has it top 10. Most have it top 5.

Google it. You'll see plenty. It also is STILL one of the biggest opening weekend comic book films at $90 million
Empire who gives covers to all superhero films lately has them #2. Plenty other sites do too

X-2 was amazing for its time and a classic vintage, but there are way too many fantastic superhero movies out right now to rank it in the top five for me. It really is a renaissance of superhero movies right now lol

First Class is definitely not a top 5 to me lol but this all broils down to personal preference anyway.

I just find it so hard to believe that y'all don't think it's a top 5-10 film. Now I'm different, superheroes are my first passion (shoes are my second lol). Always was broke growing up but mom always made a way to get me something superhero. My mom died and I just keep it all close to my heart cause most things I got growing up were of superheroes. All my presents for my birthdays are still superhero toys or comics or stuff with superheroes on it. I've seen and own every superhero film. Seeing every film opening night or the following night.
With that said, out of all the films that have come out, X-2 still is a top film. I guess it's just your preference. Do you see a film for action? CGI? Acting? Actors? Story? Characters?
Movies that would have to be in my top 10 in no order are
Iron Man
Avengers
The Winter Soldier
Batman Returns
The Dark Knight
DOFP
Spider-Man 2
Iron Man 3
X-2
GOTG
I think some of y'all are making it seem there's a whole lot of great comic book films when there actually isn't. A lot of solid films. But not great. Only other ones that are top worthy are Spider-Man, Superman (not MOS), TDKR but that's probably it. I do not think First Class is as great as some of y'all are saying.

See, I'm from the other side of thinking. I believe it was X-2 that upped the ante. Cause after that came Spider-Man 2 and then Batman Begins.

Don't skip any of them. Watch all of the crappy ones. With X3 or Wolverine Origins being the worst.
Only X2 was good.
I officially consider dude the lamekilla for X-Men threadsYeah X2 was not a classic. Even at that time. Still one of the greatest opening scenes tho.
I saw it being called classic and just

As someone who didn't know anything about The Watchmen before watching it, I liked it.

Watchmen is great! A lot of people aren't into Watchmen which is why they don't care for the movie.
Iron Man 3 is vastly underrated. People don't get the message of the movie. Is Iron Man the man or the suit? Take everything away from him, all the money, all the toys and all the fame, and he's still Iron Man. Also, as a person who is diagnosed with anxiety, panic disorder, I can tell you the panic attacks he displayed in the film are on point! Its how it feels to live with the disorder.
I actually just noticed I didn't out Spider-Man 2 in. Thought I did. I'd take out Watchmen and put SM2 in.
A lot of people are on the fence about Days of Future Past as a top superhero flick. The future Sentinels themselves were the deadliest villains in superhero films. No Avenger would've stopped all of those things (Avengers were barely holding off the Chatauri). They slaughtered the whole world. The visions of concentration camps and bodies being dumped like trash were crazy! They were fighting a fight they knew they would lose based on faith and hope. The movie described in one word is hope. The Charles meets Charles scene is one of my favorites.. "Charles, we need you to hope again".
