Superman
This big-budget, epic scale version of the Man of Steel legend is irresistable, fabulous entertainment.
The elegiac opening - from the destruction of Krypton to Clark Kent's arrival at the Daily Planet in Metropolis - turns more traditional comic book when Clark falls for Lois Lane, before a bright and breezy confrontation with comedic criminal Lex Luthor.
The deliberate clash of styles generates much excitement and yes, you'll believe a man can fly. Christopher Reeve is perfectly cast, and as a specatacle it's a highly satisfying confection.
The film was followed by several sequels, ranging from excellent (Superman II) to best forgotten (Superman IV: The Quest for Peace).
In 2006 the franchise was rebooted on the big screen with Superman Returns, for which Brandon Routh pulled on his undies over his tights.
Work nominated by the-man-of-steel.
