20 Great Films You Won't Believe Aren't On IMDb's Top 250

20. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Rating: 7.8

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the biggest franchise in the world and currently only one of its 19 films has made it onto the list: Avengers: Infinity War. Infinity War is a great movie, but unfortunately the best MCU film doesn't have a spot. In contrast, the other big Marvel franchise, the X-Men Cinematic Universe, is currently represented by its two best movies - Logan and Deadpool 2 - on the list.

Winter Soldier is a tremendous film and a truly fool-proof blockbuster that combines fantastic spectacle, great directing, compelling characters and an interesting plot into an emotionally engaging, refreshingly dark and ridiculously fun whole.

It's a peak the MCU has yet to top. The action sequences are genuinely brilliant while the political themes are consistently compelling and surprisingly sobering, making this a wonderful mixture of action and art. It's style-over-substance cinema of the very best kind and was one of the greatest films of 2014.

It seriously deserves a spot, as it's one of the greatest superhero movies of all time.

Where It Should Be: #150-#250
