My first thought was to start a Top 5 Favorite Films thread (which probably exists somewhere on here already but it's time for an update). Too massive a question, at least for me, taking into account all the genres that by themselves I could come up with a Top 5 or even 10 all too easily and I bet the same applies to most or all of you. So...I thought tackle it genre by genre steadily over time. Trax and Buronan have me all amped up about comic book films now and so does Gilly with his comments about a REAL damn Galactus (not a fiery fuckin cloud) and Thanos/The Infinty Gauntlet lol so, bada bing, let's do a:

TOP 5 (or more) FAVORITE COMIC BOOK FILMS


5: Guardians of the Galaxy

Appropriately in an efed I'll kick off my list with a flick that has Batista in it, even if he turned out to be not so great of an actor...and even if Drax didn't look enough like the 90s comic Drax I would've preferred. I fuckin' love Thanos though, always have, and I can't wait to see Josh Brolin play him. I ranked this however not because of Thanos, not because it was a fantastic sci/comic slammer but because of the two Quill moments with his mother. It was sad enough to watch her reach out to him as a child but to watch him relive that moment at the climax, as a guy with plenty of regrets, it hits me hard every time:








4: The Man of Steel

I do enjoy Batman vs Superman, quite a bit in fact, but I thought The Man of Steel was better. Cavill is amazing as Supes, best Superman I've ever seen portrayed. I also think Michael Shannon did a super job as Zod and the rest of the cast put in excellent performances as well. My fav scene is, as usual, when he loses papa Kent. I go for sad shit a lot :hrug::




3: The Watchmen

Number 3 is a tie in my mind with Deadpool but I'm sure that'll get a few nods without my help so I'm ranking The Watchmen as my 3rd. What an awesome film. It did the graphic novel justice IMO. I LOVE the idea of heroes being anti, especially Comedian, what a prick lol. Rorschach I truly love. Standing up for what he believes knowing it will end him:






2: Spider-Man 2

I'm a Tobey nut. I think he was the perfect Spidey. Spider-Man 2, IMO, was also the perfect Spidey film. Alfred Molina was a great Doc Ock and Sam Raimi got one particular shot with him that seemed to jump off the pages: (for lack of a short video) when Aunt May hits him and he twists around in slo-mo...hot DAMN he looks just like Ock in the comics!




1: X-Men Days of Future Past

Wow. What a film. I didn't think they'd be able to top First Class, I really love Magneto taking revenge, but THIS...is ultimate. Despite not being too keen on the comics I've kept up with the film franchise so it was the closing moments of this film that sealed the deal for me. A happy ending, everyone is back including Marsdenclops and Jean. See, I like happy shit too lol:

(this video quality sucks with edits but it's the shortest one to show my fav part)



Your turn guys and gals, I'm seriously looking forward to seeing you drop your own lists!
