The first two, First Class and Days of Future Past, The Wolverine (if you don't mind fun little turn-your-brain-off popcorn flicks), and Logan.

If the Deadpool movies count as X-Men movies (they should, given the thing with the movie rights), then I'm including them too. Moreso the first than the second, but I still think the second is at least good.

As for the rest, I didn't care for most of The Last Stand, Origins: Wolverine was crap, Apocalypse was okay but nothing to write home about, and I didn't see Dark Phoenix or The New Mutants.

I just rewatched the first one recently, and while I didn't enjoy it as much as I did when I was younger, I did enjoy it more than I was expecting to, and I think it holds up pretty well. Plan to watch through the rest of them in the coming months, with some of those watches being rewatches, and others being first watches. Based on what I remember of the others that I've seen, X2 I really enjoyed, and hope it holds up. X-Men: The Last Stand was an overly busy movie, but I remember it had good parts mixed in. X-Men Origins: Wolverine I remember actually mostly enjoying outside of the Deadpool stuff. X-Men: First Class I was disappointed by. The Wolverine I thought was decent but with issues. Logan I thought was really good. Deadpool I really enjoyed. Haven't seen the rest yet.

As an entire franchise, the live-action X-Men has some pretty good films.
The problem is the bad ones are really, really bad.

First Class was half a good movie. The "Magneto: Origins" half was really good, the parts with Kevin Bacon, not so much. At least Emma Frost was able to retcon the character from Wolverine: Origins

I'll always wonder why they fucked up the timeline so badly when DoFP gave them a easy retcon, Bryan Singer is a douche for reason and many more

X-Men 1 and 2, Logan, and Deadpool movies. You can toss in Days of Future Past into the mix; but stay away from X3. The Wolverine and First Class aren't bad, they just aren't amazing. Sadly they don't talk about Itsu, who was Wolverines wife at some point.

Watch in this order:

First Class
X1
X2
X3
The Wolverine (Optional)
Days of Future Past
Logan

I call it Adamantium Order. It sets up the origin of the X-Men, then fast forwards to modern day for X1-3. The Wolverine is not that great a movie tbh, but the after credits scene sets up DOFP. Then DOFP, which bridges all of them together, and the finale being Logan.

Skip the rest of the movies

Pretty much this except that I did see Dark Phoenix and regretted it.

1, 2, 3, DOFP, and Logan make a good complete story. A lot of people like First Class but I thought it was aggressively mediocre, and the other movies are all total ass.

Honestly Ill be one of the few to say it Apocalypse wasnt a bad movie and is a much better third movie then X3. If anything the movies to really skip would be anything that heavily involved the Phoenix saga events, and Origins Wolverine

Oh and I guess the New Mutants movie or whatever the hell that last big one was that was trying to be a horror movie?
