6. Jean Grey and Cyclops
As seen in: X-Men (2000), X2 (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Not that the X-Men were lacking for hotties, but Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) was the most alluring and seductive of the group. Powerful, mysterious, and sensual, Jean also possessed a wild side that was so sexy it could rip the skin right off your face, and this scared the bejeezus out of everyone. Scott Summers, or Cyclops (James Marsden), the unofficial leader of the pack, seemed to be the only one who was willing to brave Jean's darker moods, but let's get real for a second here -- he was a bit of a shmuck. Though he doted on Jean, and his love for her could never be doubted, their relationship was a bit rocky, due to the fact that he was a jealous boyfriend... and that Jean had a habit of exploding with telekinetic energy from time to time. Enter Wolverine...

5. Jean Grey and Wolverine
As seen in: X-Men (2000), X2 (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) was the quintessential "bad boy" of the X-Men, the rebel, the rough-around-the-edges hardcase with a dark past and a soft heart. So when he came traipsing into X-Mansion, flashing his leather jacket and mutton chops, it only made sense that the equally troubled Jean Grey would take notice. With Jean's boyfriend Cyclops still milling about, this couple refrained from acting upon their instincts, but the sexual tension between them was thick enough to slice with an adamantium claw. When Jean's powers eventually came to overwhelm her, it was Wolverine who came to her rescue and made the world right again. Theirs was a true testament to unfulfilled affection, and the love triangle between Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Wolverine helped add an extra layer to the franchise.

There's nothing wrong with having seen the first Power Rangers movie on opening day. Heck, even Roger Ebert loved it - and he was a lot tougher on flicks back then [I still haven't been able to figure out how he could enjoy "Hancock," for instance...].

Yeah, that was a huge shock in Hancock, the part that was partially spoiled here. I'm glad I saw the movie before I read this, but I doubt everyone else has. Jen, you tell those guys to tow the line a little closer next time.

Ehh Batman and Catwoman, I was so dissapointed with Batman Returns it focused to much on the villians. I hated Daredevil and the Elektra hook up that ruiened the movie, it became DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Dare Devil & Elektra (thats why the director's cut is better, it cut out alot of Elektra and focused more on DD). I hated F4, those to were so hollow as Mr. Fantastic and Mrs. Fantastic. I say make a list of top superheros and villains in movies!
1-Batman (BALE)
2-Wolverine
3-Spiderman (yes the 3rd one was bad)
4-Iron Man
5-Superman (hollow character)

Villans (im sure Heath ledger will be #1 in my book next friday)
1-Cillian Murphy (scarecrow)
2-Jack Nicholson (joker)
3-Alfred Molina (Doc Oc)
4-Jeff Bridges (Obodiah Stane)
5-Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor)

I'd like to point out that there was no Green Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Tommy Oliver(Jason David Frank), the Green Ranger, lost his powers and had already been transformed into the White Ranger by the time the movie was released. He then went on to play the Red Ranger in two later series incarnations, Power Rangers: Turbo(Including the big screen version Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie) and Power Rangers: Zeo. And I saw both movies opening day. I used to be a HUGE fan. And to really bring it home, I had Power Ranger pogs. Haha!

I'd also like to point out that Power Rangers is geared towards kids who are too young to watch MTV. Trust me, we werent watching because there was nothing else to watch. It was THE SHOW to watch. I mean, its STILL on. It has a new cast, new costumes, new powers, new zords every year. I don't watch it anymore, I'm 25, but this article makes it seem as if Power Rangers was some embarassing flash in the pan, when in fact, it's one of the longest running and most successful kids shows ever. Sure, its cheesy, but so are most kids shows. How about a little respect?

Amy Jo Johnson, the Pink Ranger..........what a babe.

And yes, I know my nerd is showing. :)

Number 10 kills the list before it even has a chance to earn credibility.

When you make any "Best" list that includes the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, it's a good indicator that the field isn't large enough to justify a "Best" list.

In the extreme, I can envision a category like "Best super-intelligent baby movies" containing both "Baby Genius" movies and nothing else, but would it be worth anything?

No, you'll just be the only one to figure it out who wasn't already spoiled from the ads.

AmericanEagleJRL, I am impressed by your vast knowledge of Power Rangers lore.

jacog, heck yes Bluntman and Chronic count! Those are two superheroes that obviously love each other. Just not in that way.

No part of Daredevil deserves to be mentioned in any "best" list.
