10 Awesome Movies That Totally Didn’t Give A Damn

8. Deadpool 2

After shocking the world with the first Deadpool movie and fixing Wade Wilson's image on the big screen after the unpleasantness of X-Men: Origins - Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds decided he hadn't tasted enough creative freedom. He wanted to go more outrageous and more raunchy, which cost the film director Tim Miller, who fundamentally didn't agree and wanted a more stylised sequel.

Realising Reynolds was the box office banker, the studio went with his vision and we can all be incredibly grateful that they did, because the early production friction clearly emboldened him to just make a film that absolutely did not give a single solitary f*ck.

On top of breaking the fourth wall and having some of the most tasteless jokes in mainstream cinema, 'Pool 2 flirted with baby Hitler killing, openly took the piss out of star Ryan Reynolds and killed off Brad Pitt after about 2 seconds of screen-time. And it was all one big glorious soup of naughtiness.
