If we had placed bets on which movies would never make it to the Disney+ catalogue,Deadpoolwould possibly be at the top of the list. This movie earned its R rating with over the top violence and very NSFW comedy as it mercilessly mocked superhero movies.
Ryan Reynolds stars in this comedic version as Wade, who falls in love with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) before discovering that he has terminal cancer. Francis Freeman/Ajax (Ed Skrein) offers Wade a cure, which activates Wade’s latent mutant powers.
This saves his life and also leaves Wade hopelessly disfigured. Deadpool decides to get revenge on Ajax, no matter how many people he has to kill.

It is the film that began the successful franchise and that has marked more than a generation and the film industry, in addition to ingeniously reusing the hero’s journey from Greek mythology, but in a story of a distant and technologically advanced galaxy, wrapped in an interplanetary war.

Widely considered the best installment of the entire science fiction saga,The Empire Strikes Back(The Empire Strikes Back ) is the chapter that showed the most dramatic side of the characters of the original trilogy and established both their legacies and the events that intertwined their destinies.
Not only that, but it also introduced some of the franchise’s most popular supporting characters, Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett, and featured one of the trilogy’s most memorable battles, set on the ice planet of Hoth.
After the heroic events ofA New Hope, The Empire Strikes Backoffered a much grimmer exploration of the grim realities of war against a formidable and oppressive force led by a seemingly indestructible foe: Darth Vader.

Even if it doesn’t live up to the astronomically high standards set byA New HopeandThe Empire Strikes Back,Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jediis still a deeply gratifying conclusion to one of the greatest film trilogies ever.
After the revelations and fallout from the climactic events of the Empire between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, the young Jedi embarks on a mission to destroy the Empire’s second Death Star and defeat them for good.

9. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
The Nightmare Before Christmasis perhaps the only Christmas movie suitable forHalloween, and vice versa. The masterfully realized stop-motion animation masterpiece by Tim Burton and director Henry Selick will likely keep Hot Topic in business after all these years.
But this movie is also loved for its catchy Danny Elfman tunes and lovable hero, Jack Skellington (Chris Sarandon). Jack is the master of all things Halloween, and yet he’s terribly bored with it all. When he discovers that Christmas is a thing, Jack doesn’t hesitate to make the holiday his own and put his own spin on “Sandy Claws.”
Needless to say, Jack’s version of Christmas really does scare the human world. He also endangers his friends in Halloween Town.

42. The Wolverine (2013)
At the time of the release ofThe Wolverinein 2013, Hugh Jackman was already used to playing the adamantium-clawed mutant, having just entered his second decade in the role. But this time, director James Mangold offers a more cerebral look at the famous X-Man.
We now see Logan in Japan with an old friend from the war, Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), who is on his deathbed. We get inside Logan’s head as he mourns the loss of Jean Grey, and more flashbacks, we learn about his past when, in Nagasaki during World War II, he saved the life of a Japanese soldier when the atomic bomb was dropped.
As it turns out, that soldier was Yashida, who now has the technology to allow Logan to transfer his healing powers to him, making Logan mortal, a notion the tortured hero has long entertained.
