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.
