X-MEN: FIRST CLASS was one of Quentin Tarantino's favourite films of 2011, the filmmaker has revealed.
Matthew Vaughn's relaunch of the mutant movie franchise was in fifth place in the director's official Top 11 of 2011 - and was the only superhero movie or comic book adaptation to make the list.
First Class was also in a separate list of best adapted screenplays, along with Moneyball, The Skin I Live in, Carnage, Rise of The Planet of The Apes and Hugo.
Green Hornet, Green Lantern and Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger were in a further list of other films Tarantino 'liked.' There was no mention anywhere of Thor, directed by Kenneth Branagh, which was last year's other release from Marvel Studios.
Ryan Reynolds had at one time suggested Tarantino would be the ideal director to take on 20th Century Fox's planned Deadpool movie, which will feature the actor's sword-wielding mercenary from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
In addition, Tarantino revealed he had been offered the chance to direct a Green Lantern movie and that he had based inglourious Basterds on the Marvel Comics series Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos.
