Fine with Dark Knight. Want Guardians higher up there, but at least it made the 10, didn't look like it was doing so well when I last saw it.

Anth0ny · Mar 21, 2015

Top 2 is correct. Good job GAF

Htown · Mar 21, 2015

Spider-Man 2 is probably slightly too high, but that's not a bad list.

Floridian · Mar 21, 2015

Switch Captain America with The Incredibles, and the top 3 is pretty much similar to mine. Good list.

RumblingRosco · Mar 21, 2015

So, has the past decade or so really just been the golden era of superhero movies or is GAF just biased towards more recent films?

I don't watch eough super hero movies to have voted.

The Hermit · Mar 21, 2015

TDK is easily my nº1.

Although I would put X2 in second and then Winter Soldier.

-Pyromaniac- · Mar 21, 2015

Gaf actually made me pretty proud on this one.

Fancy Clown · Mar 21, 2015

Good list. Winter Soldier is too high, but the number 1 is as it should be.

Turok_TTZ · Mar 21, 2015

fuck the dark knight. joker wasnt funny enough. too gritty.

Wreck-It Ralph · Mar 21, 2015

Pretty good list.

CaptainofIndustry · Mar 21, 2015

Good list. I can roll with this.

MrCunningham · Mar 21, 2015

The GAF collective have made some pretty good choices.

LaNaranja · Mar 21, 2015

First Class should have been higher. Also I am curious as to when the last time most people actually saw Spider-Man 2 and X2. Those films are dookie and don't hold up today at all.

Cream · Mar 21, 2015

Good list, besides Spider-Man 2

Lunar15 · Mar 21, 2015

That's... a really good list. I wouldn't have put TWS so high, but other than that, extremely solid.

BadAss2961 · Mar 21, 2015

Meh. #1 is pretty much the only the part I agree with.

Small sample size though.

nintendork666 · Mar 21, 2015

Nice list. Spidey 2 > Dark Knight though

VERY GLAD to see Mask of the Phantasm make the list. holy shit

Bobby Roberts · Mar 21, 2015

This forum's Batman Begins bias will never not be one of the weirdest things I've seen in awhile. That and the Skyfall disappointment levels.

I don't know who got to you guys, or how they did it, but L. Ron Hubbard would be proud.

Incendiary · Mar 21, 2015

Winter Soldier in top 3? Good on GAF.

Sad nobody else really likes Batman Forever though. Best of the non-Nolan Batmans.

ZeroX03 · Mar 21, 2015

#1, #2, #4, #6 and #7 are great choices.

#3 is good but too high. Big WTF for #5, #8 and #9.

#10 really? I would have put Return of the Joker or a few other DCAU films ahead of Mask of the Phantasm.

I didn't notice the voting thread....

Akahige · Mar 21, 2015

Yeah about what I would expect from a gaf voted list.

harSon · Mar 21, 2015

#1 isn't even the best Batman film... It's not even the best Nolan Batman film.

Jigorath · Mar 21, 2015

I'd take Iron Man, The Avengers, and Batman Begins off the list but aside from that it's pretty solid. The top two is perfect.

Bobby Roberts · Mar 21, 2015

Curious to see how this lift shifts come next March.

Error · Mar 21, 2015

Surprised at #1, you think with all the hate it gets here the movie wouldn't be anywhere near #1

Frosty Droid · Mar 21, 2015

The Dark Knight isn't a superhero movie.

It's a solid list, though it's a bit disappointing to see The Incredibles not listed at the top. And Blade didn't crack the top ten? I'm off to yell into a void because I forgot to vote.

Antman will take its rightful place at the top.

Discotheque · Mar 21, 2015

half my list made top 10 so that's cool.

you mean batman returns right? seal blessed us on batman forever and nicole kidman was really fine. plus val kilmer was a good bruce wayne...that's about it.

What, because they're too low?

Prompto · Mar 21, 2015

I'm alright with this list, especially the top 2. Glad to see Spider-Man 2 still gets a lot of love.

HIGH DEF JEFF · Mar 21, 2015

No surprises at the top.
I wouldnt put anything from that Top 5 in my Top 10.
Batman Begins, X-Men 2 are definitely Top 5.

Bobby Roberts · Mar 21, 2015

Willing to bet Iron Man's there mostly because it kicked off the Marvel Universe, and not for its quality as a movie - because it's not that good a movie. There's no third act at all, really, and the first two acts are carried by Downey & Favreau basically ad-libbing it.

Iron Man and Batman Begins are basically keeping Superman: The Movie and Watchmen out of the top 10.

Wreck-It Ralph said:

Ahaha no. Other way.

Avengers is an odd one because I loved the movie the first time I watched it and couldn't stand it the second time. It's a thrill ride with zero substance.

Discotheque · Mar 21, 2015

every screencap there is great...and then you get avengers fugly ass. thank god they changed captain america's suit. he looks like he belongs in a roger corman flick in that picture.

adj_noun · Mar 21, 2015

YES, so happy to see Phantasm up there. Such a wonderful Batman movie.

And one of the best possible screencaps, too.

Colonel Nasty · Mar 21, 2015

Man of Steel is too high

Bobby Roberts · Mar 21, 2015

I'm kinda surprised it got that close to the top 30

curlyfriski · Mar 21, 2015

So many bad movies

Mmmm, I dunno. I think you're selling it short. The chemistry between Downey and Paltrow is fantastic, and the transformation of Stark and showing how he comes to feel and care about his work... it's all pulled off really really well. The Uncle Ben moments with Yinsen... not the most original writing ever, but there's emotion there and it feels genuine and it works even when it probably shouldn't in a light fun summer blockbuster. That joy of discovery and invention that Favreau sketches out with Tony's gradual testing of the technology and the suits is exactly what a great superhero origin story is all about and it delivers exactly what it should. Yeah, the third act is weak, but the strength of those first two are enough to make up for that.

I do think Superman is way too low on that list. Mask of the Phantasm... lol wtf is it doing on there.

Yes, it certainly is odd that three movies that were liked by over 90% of both critics and audiences made the top 10 on this list. So odd.

Sure, it can be argued. Curious to see what your...

The chemistry between Downey and Paltrow is fantastic,

yikes.

Seriously though, compared to a lot of the movies below it, I think it could be argued that I'm not selling it too short, but GAF voters overvalue it.

edit: although... Ralph just gave me an idea for a fun comparison.

Are you mad that I don't like them or something?

Superman Unbound has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, didn't even get mentioned. It many not be the best barometer of quality, and we're talking about a collection of Gaffer opinions anyway.

It's a massively popular movie. Don't let a vocal minority convince you otherwise. It would be #1 in pretty much any similar poll, regardless of where it was done.

any comparisons made with rotten tomatoes are shit if that's what you're alluding to bruh

Sanjuro · Mar 21, 2015

Captain America and Avengers were that high??

BadAss2961 · Mar 21, 2015

11-20 is probably a better list of a movies overall than the top 10.

lol @ GAF.

Burt · Mar 21, 2015

That's a pretty great list. Not that I agree with everything, but I didn't have any real issue with anything until Captain America 1, and that's pretty far down for complaint number 1. Maybe Batman Returns, but I haven't seen it in forever. Dredd deserves higher, but it was a smaller movie and doesn't fit into the traditional superhero mold.
