Best Super Hero Movies

After going to see Ironman for the second time the group I was with started pondering a timeless question. What is the best Super Hero Movie of all time? Several titles were tossed out as "favorite" or "best" but no concensus was reached. So with no further adieu I give you my list of best Super Hero Movies (in no particular order). My only criteria was that the movie had to be based on character(s) from a comic book.

Ironman (2008) Marvel Comics

An incredible movie

Batman Begins (2005) DC Comics

DC gets back in the game with this one

Superman (1978) DC Comics

Very original and innovative for the time.

X-Men (2000) Marvel Comics

So much to take in and see. Has unlimited spin offs and sequels

Fantastic 4 (2005) Marvel Comics

I really liked this one

Batman & Robin (1997) DC Comics

The best of the early Batman franchise

Spiderman (2002) Marvel Comics

The Web Slinger. I liked it. Spidey works out well for Marvel

Ghost Rider (2007) Marvel Comics

Not a big Cage fan but I liked this one. Also Sam Elliot was pretty cool.

Superman Returns (2006) DC Comics

This saved the Superman franchise which had been doomed by earlier sequels.

Dare Devil (2003) Marvel Comics

Yeah I liked it. Me and maybe one other person

4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) Marvel Comics

The Surfer was freakin awesome and will deservedly get his own movie soon.
