What Are The 5 Essential MCU Movies You Have To See Before Infinity War?

[JerseyBoy23]

I was talking to co-worker yesterday about the MCU and they said they wanted to see Infinity War after liking Black Panther. During part of the conversation, they asked me what essential films did they have to see before it. Instead of giving them all 17 movies, I narrowed it down to 5 that I think they especially need to see.

My question to TFR is what do you consider the 5 most essential MCU films to watch?

Btw this is the list I gave them:

Iron Man 1
Avengers
Winter Soldier
Avengers 2
Civil War

That's a decent list actually

 

[humminbird]

guardians 1 needs to be put in there too

 

[KevCo]

Id replace avengers 2 with guardians, and keep the rest of your list

Winter soldier isn't essential for infinity war but I accept it has to be on the list since its pretty much the best movie in the mcu ( not called Black Panther)

 

[8WON6]

Guardians gotta be in there because that's like half the reason for their existence.

 

[Kaydigi]

Tell that bytch ass to watch them all... except IM3.

I guess you guys are right. I wanted the person to see Cap's philosphy before watching Civil War but I guess Guardians works there.

 

[Emoryal]

Gaurdians
Winter Soldier
Avengers 1&2
Civil War
You may need to potentially add BP tho

Why would Iron Man 1 be essential?

 

[Tasha And]

Yeah you fukked up OP by not listing Guardians.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Why would Iron Man 1 be essential?

It's where it all started.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

If we're talking strictly relevance to the Infinity Stone plot line, GOTG 1 absolutely MUST be in there. That's the movie that gives Thanos a role and explains the infinity stones.
