A Cacophony fo Comic Book Movies

One my dear friends and constant readers recently complained about my current "Sunday Best" list regarding the top 25 super hero films.

His major issue was that I would have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to fill out my list.

To the contrary, I had to cut out a great number of films to reduce the number to 25.

Simply to make my point, here are a list of super hero films that I have seen.  This does not represent the entire Cape and Cowl Cannon.  I am leaving off of the list not only films I haven't seen but TV movies or movies that went directly to video.

If you add comic book movies apart from super hero films (though this is not my current list) it would include:
300
