amazing how my list has changed thanks to the Marvel films. For the record I still like Superman Returns but it has moved way down the list because the recent stuff has been so good. I am in the minority I don't like the Nolan trilogy as a whole but I do like batman begins but it's now on the second tier. I need to let The Amazing Spiderman sink in a bit I liked it, but not as much as Raimi's so it may not be one I can watch alot (like Ed Norton's Hulk, thor, & Iron man 2 good but I only needed to watch it once). Dc's new films have a big climb to move up the list
10 Rocketer
9 X-men
8 Captain America First Avenger
7 Watchmen
6 Spiderman (Raimi 2000)
5 Iron Man
4 Batman Mask of the Phantasm
3 Batman 1989
2 Avengers
1 Superman The Movie

The event where the fans are separated from the true fans.
Suprised i havent done this one.
1. Conan (I love fantasy films and hes such a anti-hero.)
2. Superman (Good solid film. Not suprised some think this is one of the best films ever)
3. Spiderman (Think the Raimi film is still the best of all the spideys)
4. Ironman (Fun film, wild ride)
5. Avengers (I was skeptical, but it was good)
6. Thor (Solid film)
7. Rockateer (a fine film that still holds up)
8. Xmen: First class (blows the ones before away)
9. Flash Gordon serials (Buster Crabbe and the special effects keep bringing me back)
10. Batman Returns (enjoyable film , IMO)
Special mention: Fantastic Four from Roger Cormen. Not that I think its great; its just a interesting film to watch.
Maybe Masters of the Universe (since it has alot of New Gods in it)
What is TRULY astounding is if you really think about it, the really good superhero movies (of the last decade) all owe their existence to the first X-MEN movie, which, while a good movie, is nowhere near as good as it should/could have been! Superman: The Movie is, of course, the grand daddy of superhero movies (and rightly so---think of the amount of practical work that went into that thing!). BATMAN '89 resuscitated the genre up until it's fourth installment came pretty darn close to killing it completely. X-MEN re-opened the door on the genre just a little bit by grounding superheroes in the real world, then SPIDER-MAN came along in 2002 and basically kicked that door down and it's been pretty much a wild ride since then. Have there been a few duds along the way? Yeah, that's to be expected in almost any genre, but by and large, probably a good 75% of films based off of superheroes have been exceptionally well done...
Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
The biggest disappointment to me: Fantastic Four.
The cast didnt fit and believe they could have done a much better job. Rise of the SS was an improvement, but still it could have been better.
Agreed. FF suffered the sin of 20th Century Fox wanting to rush another comic book property to the big screen in doing so, they COMPLETELY screwed the pooch! FANTASTIC FOUR was Marvel's flagship title for so long that, as a film, it should have had a scope and power that would have made even THE AVENGERS crawl away in shame. I thought they did an okay job of casting Johnny (although his character's narcissistic tendencies get very annoying upon multiple viewings of the first film) and I thought Michael Chiklis casting as Ben Grimm was pretty close to spot on. Ioan Gruffudd and Jessica Alba were REALLY poor casting choices for the respective parts of Reed Richards and Susan Storm. They had ZERO chemistry with one another and Susan's intimated "relationship" with Von Doom was just ridiculous! Speaking of Doom, I really didn't have a problem with Julian McMahon playing the role, but the people who worked on the movie evidently had NO idea that Doom is pretty much the mack daddy of villains in the MU and therefore should NOT be dealt with lightly...
So I just watched Superman Returns for the first time in a few years. I originally only liked teh section from teh bar scee to the baseball stadium. However, I liked it from beginning to end now.
Going through the votes in this thread I see that many of you picked this in the top ten.
The story writing is at least as good as thw 78-80 films (just back then we were young and either didn't care or didn't get it when plot details sucked)
I could do without super baby but really it started in superman 2. The actress for LOis was terrible but other than that, i now give it my stamp of approval.
PS the shuttle 3D sequence is to date the best use of modern 3D
