While I personally enjoy modern comic book flicks, Superman II is indeed a majestic film. Easily the Man of Steel's best big-screen outing. RE my Top 10 from the 70s, I'm just going to list my favourite from each year of the decade (excluding 1970, as my favourite film from that year wouldn't rank anywhere near as high as the others). Several other films rightly deserve a place on this list though: Duel The Godfather The Wicker Man The Godfather Part II Dog Day Afternoon Rocky Star Wars Halloween Alien And for my 10th title I'll go with Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Superman II was terrific and the feeling I got watching it for the first time when I was a kid was awesome. It hit all the right notes. All this ballyhoo about it not being the film intended, because Richard Donner was fired and that it would have been a better film had he been at the helm for the entire film is a load of fan-boy crock. Donner was not a film-making God or infallible. I enjoyed the Donner cut for what it was, but I missed many of the scenes they took out of Lester's work. It was a comic book film for a start, so it was so supposed to be comical in parts. I like both versions, though I prefer the Donner Cut. Marlon Brando's presence lends it greater continuity with the 1978 film.
