13 Best Scenes From 2016's Summer Blockbusters

3. Quicksilver Evacuates The X-Mansion (X-Men: Apocalypse)

The Scene: After a confrontation with Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) causes a huge explosion in the X-Mansion, it falls to Quicksilver (Evan Peters) to surge through the building and evacuate everyone as fast as superhumanly possible.

Cue a terrific slowed-down sequence set to the Eurythmics' iconic 80s tune Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) as Quickie saves every single person... save for Havoc (Lucas Till), who dies in the blast.

Why It's Awesome: It must've been tough to come up with a scene to rival Days Of Future Past's immense Quicksilver showcase, but Bryan Singer and co. just about managed it. Major praise here for the song choice, the stunning visual effects... and the fact that we get to see Quicksilver rescue a dog with a slice of pizza hanging out of its mouth.

As for how this could possibly be topped for the next X-Men movie? Who knows?
