We go five by five...because I felt like putting 'em in...my top five favorite...Superhero movies...
- Mystery Men - slighted masterpiece
- Batman Begins - note for note nearly perfect
- X2: X-Men United - first one bad, second one very good
- Spiderman
- Superman - though it hasn't aged well
- Sin City - just started reading the graphic novels, the most perfect adaptation of any comic book ever to the screen
- Road to Perdition - moving film
- Flash Gordon - such camp, and a great soundtrack
- Hellboy
- American Splendor
- Grosse Point Blank - I get sucked in everytime it's on tv
- High Fidelity - there are comments made by my wife that I am this poor schmuck
- Better Off Dead
- The Thin Red Line - though he's barely in it
- Being John Malkovich - another one that isn't aging well at all...stunning the first time through
- Akira - but the original English dubbing, the new stinks
- Spirited Away - one of the few movies I own
- Triplets of Belleville - another that I own, beautiful and nearly wordless
- The Nightmare Before Christmas
- South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut - so foul, so wrong, so entertaining
- Bonus - Rikki Tikki Tavi - because I have great memories of it from my childhood
- Hero - greatest movie ever made?...I think it has a claim
- Jesus of Montreal - probably not great, but I like it
- Cinema Paradiso - real weeper
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- Seven Samauri - though The Magnificant Seven is better

EY!! How's it going? I really like a lot of your movie choices even though I havn't seen all of them. Well I'll see you next bell.
I hope X-Men 3 doesn't suck. Bigger Brotherhood, but Alan Cumming didn't sign up for the movie, so no Nightcrawler.
You left One Crazy Summer off the Cusack list. Perhaps it is #6? Better Off Dead got slighted there. What-choo thinkin'?
I see you also rated Superman rather low. Agreed. However, there is a new movie coming out sometime in the next year that looks to be the Batman Begins-esque chapter of the caped crusader's life.
You've inspired me to start trying to make my own lists. Thank you, PHSChemGuy.
My pleasure, G...I actually haven't seen One Crazy Summer yet. And at this point, Superman has been surpased by so many more true-to-the-medium comic book movies that it's just not the tops anymore...
