1) Spider Man
2) Batman
3) Spider Man 2
4) Super Man
5) Batman 2
Not really many good ones...its more fun to do the the worst. Here is my top 5 worst comic book movies ever made.
5) From Hell - Not even Johnny Depp could have saved this one.
4) Batman Forever - Where did Tim Burton go?
3) Fantastic Four - Its not out yet but just a prediction.
2) Batman & Robin - Gay directors and comic books dont mix.
1) Spawn - Bad oh sooo very bad.

Top five I Wish They'd Do :
Silver Surfer
Marvel-DC Teamup (batman - spiderman)
Marvel Teamup (wolverine - spiderman)
Firestorm
well, ok, thats 4
For the life of me I can never figure out why....why....WHY.... whenever a comic thread pops up NOBODY remembers the best comic to movie ever.
Thats right............

Suppsedly it's in production, rumored to come out summer 2006. They're trying to get [brace yourself] Vin Diesel for SS, but there's no official cast as yet. Lets hope he turns it down.
Anyway, my top five.... And they arent in order...Aside from Horror, Superhero movies are my fave:cool:
Batman [The 1st is the undisputed best, IMO]
X-Men [Both]
Spiderman [Both]
Hellboy
League of Extraordinary Gent;emen

1) AKIRA
2) American Splendor
3) Spider-man 2
4) Batman
5) The Crow
Not sure if they'd count:
The Indiana Jones Movies
Pulp Fiction
those were inspired by the old serial comics, but they weren't actually BASED on any of the stories in them. Pulp Fiction especially so. If those count as comic book movies, I'll amend my list.

i believe Pulp Fiction comes more from the cheap dime novels and magazines - moreso than comic books ..
Lurid dectective novels with scantily clad women in peril on the cover .. all text - not graphic..

Since the Indiana Jones movies count:
1) AKIRA
2) Raiders of the Lost Ark
3) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
4) American Splendor
5) Spider-man 2

I was just using them as a whole but if you use the whole trilogy then...
1.Indiana Jones- Raiders of the Lost Ark
2.Indiana Jones- The Last Crusade
3.Batman
4.American Slendor
5.Spiderman 2
I had the Crow over Spiderman 2 because they were both on the list and I like the Crow more but if I have to choose one than it's Spiderman.

I didn't use them as a whole, only because I really didn't care for Temple of Doom

Akira and Howard the Duck were both great. The Indiana Jones ones are good movies, but this is the first I've ever heard of them being based off a comic book. Anyone know anything more about that?
The STE

They aren't really based on any sort of comic book, but are done in an old serial comic book-style

Didn't think it made much sense to make a thread for this and since it's basically a comic book discussion and the Crow has been mentioned.....
Is the Crow an action or drama?

I'd call it horror/action. Sort of like Blade or Underworld I suppose...

I'm not talking about in the movies, I'm talking about the character in general. He has been a little sissy boy suck up since the X-Men came out in the mid 60's.
