100% agree with your #1 choice. I think anyone who were to argue differently would be fighting an uphill battle. Nice list!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just love what Nolan did with Batman.
DeleteGreat list! I think I would have The Dark Knight at #1. That's not only my favorite super hero movie, but also one of my favorites in general. Rises would definitely be #2 though!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I dig The Dark Knight, but I've always put it beneath the other Nolan Batman films. Still, it's an awesome superhero movie. Glad to hear Rises would be up there too!
DeleteCool list. I'd have many of the same movies, but in a different order. Haven't seen the new X-Men yet. Glad to hear that it is really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I loved the new X-Men, and I almost put it at #5.
DeleteSo happy to see Captain America: First Avenger here. I love that movie too. And ooo DoFP was great, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteYay! Captain America love! :) That movie rocks. DoFP was brilliant! I was so close to putting it higher.
DeleteYEEEY for TDKR on #1. I sometimes feel so alone in loving this movie.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I still love it! TDKR is one of the few superhero films I've seen that actually feels epic, and it features my favorite superhero. What's not to love? :)
DeleteI love how you completely buck consensus by having The Dark Knight below Nolan's other two Batman films (which are your #1 and #2). Great list buddy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I LOVE that you have Unbreakable on here!
Thanks pal! Nolan's trilogy could easily top the list, but I've alway had The Dark Knight at the bottom of those films.
DeleteI actually had Unbreakable at #8, but I reworked my list when I was posting it. :/
Love that Rises takes the top spot. I never understood why that one got hated on so much - I absolutely loved it. But really, this list is truly great because you included Unbreakable, one of the best, most unconventional super hero movies ever. My favorite Shyamalan, by far.
ReplyDeleteThanks man! I kinda just dumped this list on here, but I'm glad so many people have stopped by and commented on it.
DeleteRises is a blast from start to finish. It's a truly epic ride featuring my favorite superhero. So glad you loved it too. Unbreakable might be a little higher now. That movie is brilliant, but my favorite Shyamalan is Signs - love everything about that one.
