Logan

Logan is the only superhero movie on this list, and for good reason. If you had no knowledge of the X-Men, it wouldn’t have mattered, because you wouldn't have known that it was a superhero film. The final outing for Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart as Wolverine and Professor X, respectively, Logan was to the X-Men movies what Unforgiven was to Clint Eastwood movies: the very peak.

It’s a drama, a thriller, a coming-of-age story, a western, and more. James Mangold freed himself from the burden of making a movie within a shared universe, and created something new that stood well above past X-Men movies.

And to top it all off, Logan was rated R, as every movie that featured this character should have been. It was violent, of course, but the drama between the characters was the focus, and the various characters’ feelings of despair and hope were what drove it.

Finally, Dafne Keen stole our hearts as Laura! We’re hoping that Disney gives her the solo movie she deserves.
