So you’ve gotten your Deadpool fix with the sequel and you have to wait at least two years for more ‘pool or X-Force (whichever they decide to make first). WatchMojo has developed a list of 10 movies that are sure to be in the Merc with a Mouth’s personal library. Since Deadpool’s style has a particular…vein…these are essentially all R-Rated action/comedies (with the exception of Scott Pilgrim and The Last Action Hero), many with a superhero bent. WM did a pretty good job with their picks. Two Edgar Wright films made the list, but you could have easily added every other Edgar Wright film. Two Mark Millar comic book adaptations, John Wick (though Chapter 2 is so so so much better), Tropic Thunder, and a few lesser-known films like Super. I believe WM did this list after the first Deadpool so Logan wasn’t an option yet, but I think given Wade Wilson’s Hugh Jackman fixation, that certainly belongs on here. For those who spent the weekend helping Deadpool 2 to a $125 million opening weekend, what did you go home and watch next?

Great article! 🙂 I absolutely loved Kick-Ass and it definitely has a similar vibe to Deadpool.

Thanks so much! I think Kick-Ass (the first, not the second) is easily the most Deadpoolish of any movie out there.

Definitely. The less said about Kick-Ass 2 the better.

I’m so glad they chose Shoot Em Up! An underappreciated gem.
They were high when they picked Last Action Hero and relegated Darkman to an honorable mention, so I’ll let that one pass.
John Wick is… not a good movie. I can understand why so many people like it, but wow.
Kick-Ass was extraordinarily enjoyable, and more entertaining than the Watchmen movie that same year. (At least Lindelof is remaking Watchmen for TV. Or not. I have no idea what on earth he was talking about when he explained what the series was going to be the other day.)
I’m seeing DP2 this weekend, and I have high hopes. I have a good reason for waiting until Solo’s second weekend to see that movie, so the fact that I have to wait does not bug me. What bugs me is that I’m not more bummed out about not being able to see a SW movie on opening weekend.
