2. Quicksilver Evacuates The X-Mansion - X-Men: Apocalypse

After an explosion is detonated at the X-Mansion, Quicksilver arrives for his customary show-stealing scene, set to Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams.

In a gorgeous super-slow motion sequence, he evacuates everyone from the mansion, including all the mutants, some goldfish, a girl about to be kissed by an unwanted suitor and a pizza-eating dog.

The scene is gorgeously designed, visually stunning, hilarious and by far the best thing in what was otherwise a pretty underwhelming X-Men movie. Considering the headache it must've been to try and one-up Days of Future Past's amazing Quicksilver scene, Bryan Singer actually did a pretty fantastic job at least matching if not exceeding what came before.

But of course, now everybody's wondering what he might come up with next time...
