By Simon Gallagher / May 17, 2018

24. Basic Instinct

TriStar Pictures

Thanks to his lack of pants, when Cable arrives, Deadpool gets an opportunity to appall everyone by slowly crossing his legs the same way Sharon Stone did in Basic Instinct.

The shot is framed the exact same way and it's absolutely glorious.

23. The Time Traveller's Wife

New Line Cinema

When Cable arrives, Deadpool refers to him the Time Travellers' Wife's Husband in reference to the best-selling book and movie starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana. It is not very good, but then Deadpool does love The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants.

22. Black Widow

Marvel Studios

At one point in this sequence in Blind Al's apartment, 'Pool calls Domino 'Black Black Widow' in reference to the MCU's first lady.
