I didn't include any of the spin off movies because I knew everyone would choose Deadpool and I wanted to which actual X-Men movie is considered the best.
1) X-Men: Days of Future Past
2) X-Men: First Class
3) X2
4) Tie between X-Men & X-Men: Apocalypse
5) X-Men: The Last Stand

I know for a fact that Apocalypse wasn't as well received as most of its predecessors but I still think it's a solid movie though not without its mistakes and I'm still debating whether it's better than the original movie which is also a good movie but nothing amazing and Apocalypse felt more like an X-Men movie than X-Men did but I could still like X-Men more.

i chose Apocalypse....because Wolverine wasn't the hero that saves the day in the movie. Magneto said it best in X1..."it's not always about you". i am sick of wolverine now because of everyone making him the hero of not only the x-men movies...but also his own solo films.

In his own solo-movies is understandable, it is just to bad there where no solo-ones for others. I think the problem is that the movie-Wolverine had become a very popular charterer. And that lead to that he became the main-hero of the later x-men movies, instead of letting a different mutant being the main-hero each movie.

A stand-alone Gambit movie is set to begin filming this summer if you are looking forward to this.

I went with Day Of Future Past, even though Apocalypse runs a very close second.

I wanted so badly to be able to get into the X-men movies & spin-offs. I couldn't. I can enjoy each one, especially because of the timeless theme of being part of a group that is "othered". I think I'm just too pedantic, I need my movie (& book) franchises to make perfect sense, have a concrete canon and be consistent from one movie to the next to the next. Star Trek lost me for the same reason, and made me sad. Because of this I liked the first two + the character building & backstory filling in First Class and Origins: Wolverine. Days of Future Past & Last Stand just seemed to trigger my pedantry too much?

It would be hard for me to rate the movies since I only have seen them in the theatres when they where released and have not watched since.

I have read about that one. However problem is he (cinematic wise) was introduced in Wolverine origins. So the story has to be how he becomes part of the larger x-men whole.

I went with X-Men: First Class (2011) because I enjoyed that the most.
I'd go with the the original X-Men (2000) in second place because I was surprised at how much I liked it. I went in after the Joel Schumacher Batman movies and similar super hero/comic book films with really low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised.

I especially liked by Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto in the first film and Michael Fassbender as Magneto in First Class. Both were really good performances.

All the other films seemed just full of spectacle with too many characters, most of whom weren't properly introduced — or not even introduced at all.

I gave up reading the comic around issue #200 (December 1985), when I realised that I had a stack of fifteen or so issues that I'd just bought and not read, so I sat down and read them in a lump, didn't enjoy them, and decided to stop buying the title. Pity; up until then X-Men had been one of my favourite books.

I mention this to say that I'm not familiar with any characters introduced after 1985, so if the films don't introduce them properly, I have no idea who they are or what their powers are supposed to be.

With the current film — X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) — I don't get the whole first mutant thing. Is Apocalypse supposed to be a prokaryote cell with the mutant power to transfer itself into other forms and which transferred itself up into human/mutant form or something? I assume his (its) power was being able to transfer into other forms, with all the other abilities he (it) displayed being powers he (it) had picked up along the way from other mutants. Is that right?

See, that's the thing: No, it doesn't have to be about that. They can just ignore that as if it didn't happen and ignore continuity and just make up a whole new canon for each and every movie and no one seems to mind. Grrrrr!
