(I know you did not want to include team movies but First Class is an origin for Charles and Erik and way better than anything else I am not including).

Pretty much agree with all of this, but I did like Thor better than you probably did.
 
Iron Man
Wonder Woman
Deadpool
Batman Begins
Captain America: The First Avenger

After that it gets kinda muddled. But those are top 5 for sure.
 
I'll do a top 10:

I really wanted to like Thor. It's probably better as a film than meh, but it's barely possible get through - so boring.

...the rest
 
Blade came out in 1998 BN. So much for it being your favorite. You don't even know when it came out. :o

Also, Blade 2 > Blade imo.

You are a goddamn nitpicking bastah. Blade is still my favorite. Also, Blade 2 was soooo Suicide Squad before all this craze. Suicide Squad done right.

If I can't include GotG and First Class because of the rules, they must be followed to the letter. :argh:

I can see the SS comparisons. But I actually really like Blade 2. The villain, the club scene, Blade just being awesome throughout. But both Blade flicks are great. Shame they never made a third one...
 
1. Batman Begins
2. Iron Man
3. Spider-Man
4. Deadpool
5. Kick Ass
6. Wonder Woman
7. Doctor Strange
8. Ant-Man
9. Thor
10. Captain America: The First Avenger


And nothing else is good enough to deserve ranking.

EDIT: I forgot to mention I haven't seen Hellboy. That's probably decent enough. But other than that, everything else I didn't rank doesn't deserve ranking.
