The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)

X2: X-Men United (2003)

[8] X2: X-Men United maintains the first film's emphasis on drama and character, but adds the sizzle a bigger budget can provide. This is, quite simply, a summer movie that delivers the goods. I love the raid on Xavier's school, Magneto's escape…
