1. Superman: The Movie. I can't be unbiased about this one. My favorite movie, PERIOD. Besides being favorite super hero movie.
2. Batman Begins: Batman done right AT LAST.
3. Spider-Man 2: The best of the bunch!
4. Superman II: I'm counting the original version here, since I'm just stickin to theatrical releases. Despite itself, and it's pieced together nature, somehow still a heckuva movie. Reeve and Stamp as Zod can get you past all the crap.
5. Batman; Mask of the Phantasm: I actually saw this in the theater, so it counts. Best Batman movie until Begins rolled around. Timm and co. can't be beat for knowing the characters.
6. X2: Another great one.
7. Spider-Man: Despite Goblin Ranger, it pretty much nailed the spirit of Spidey. Dafoe was great, he just needed a better suit.
8. Superman Returns: You can question some of the directions they went in (direct sequel to Reeve movies, super-son) but past that, it is a well done movie with a lot of respect for the character. Plus hearing the Williams score in the theater made me 4 years old again. For that alone it would make this list.
9. X-Men: Got the current super hero flicks off to a great start (I count Blade as a horror movie)
10. FF2; Rise of the Silver Surfer: A fun, family super hero flick. The whole family enjoyed it, with no questions (why does Superman and Lois have a kid if they aren't married), no overly scary scenes (Batman Begins) to mess the kid up. That's a plus in Dad's book.

Here's my list as of 8:10 PM EST today.

1. Superman: The Movie: Still my favorite movie of all time
2. The Dark Knight: The modern bar was set THIS high. Few can measure up.
3. Captain America: I love this movie. It gave me the same feeling Superman gave me 30 years ago.
4. Batman Begins:Finally, they got a live action Batman movie right.
5. Superman II: Still a great sequel, no matter the verison.
6. Spider-Man 2: All 3 movies have their merits (even 3) but this one gelled it all just right.
7. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Still better than almost every live action film.
9. Iron Man 2: Call me weird, but this one was more fun than the first. The race track scene is one of the greatest comic scenes on film.
9. X2: Took all the great elements of the first and ramped it up.
10. X-Men:First Class: Totally surprised by how great this film was. WOW.
Runners-up include Iron-Man, Thor, Batman (66 and 89) FF2, and others. But this is what I'm feelin' right now.
