I'm curious what have to be considered top 10 films at this point, with so many good comic book films behind us now. This was a much different list 10 years ago certainly.
What films have to go on this list? What films probably go on? What films are overlooked that should go on?
If I had to run out a list of candidates it would include,
The Dark Knight Avengers Captain America: The Winter Soldier Captain America: Civil War Spiderman 2 Superman: The Movie Watchmen X-Men X2 V For Vendetta Batman Begins perhaps
That's just an initial list. I'm not sure what else creeps over any of those. Thoughts?

The list sounds perfectly fine with me. maybe i'd switch X1 with Logan but it's cool

I'd go with most of that list...X-Men First Class over the 2 X-Men you listed perhaps
I'd also find room for Kick Ass, Dredd, Oldboy, maybe RED

But yeah I couldn't think of any others off hand that just have to be on this list, although I do have 11 listed lol

I haven't actually seen kick ass, or oldboy so I can't say. Dredd was good, well shot, and acted, but way to simple though. They locked the story in a building and didn't take advantage of exploring the world much at all, which while it was good at what it did, it just didn't do much. It was a video game level. First Class I just can't put the cast there above X2's, or the overall quality above any of these. I was never taken out of those movies and I was in First Class, so I can't give that top 10 status. Red is an interesting idea. I only saw it once, but might need to check it out again.

You haven't seen Logan yet? Get on it! I'm sure you'll like it if you liked the others.

You haven't seen Logan yet? Get on it! I'm sure you'll like it if you liked the others. It sounds like I'll enjoy it, but no I haven't really been into the X-Men series since way back in X2. First Class was ok, but didn't do anything for me. They just don't really have any direction so it's hard to care about.

The Dark Knight Spider-Man 2 Man of Steel The Avengers Wonder Woman X2: X-Men United Logan Deadpool Captain America: The Winter Soldier Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 Guardians definitely has a shot, I don't know why I didn't say that. I haven't seen Logan, but from what I hear that's certainly in contention. I fully disagree with MOS though. I don't see how that's even close. I don't even think it makes the top 30 tbh. WW? I mean,,,,,,, it's much closer than MOS, but top 10 ever? IDK man. Deadpool is an interesting pick. It's got a new vibe to it. I could see that.

I picked Wonder Woman because it was the first female lead superhero film that didn't turn out to be crap. Plus I thought it was a good film on its own.

I'll go with quintessential to the genre rather than straight up quality, lest a bunch come from a single franchise...
Superman Batman X-Men Spiderman Iron Man The Dark Knight Watchmen The Avengers Cpt. America Civil War Wonder Woman

Resident Evil, Catwoman, Underworld, Alien, Tank Girl, Ultraviolet, Tomb Raider, Elektra. The list goes on. It's not the first female led comic film.

Wonder Woman is the first successful female led Comic Book movie (though there is an argument that Modesty Blaise in 1966 may have bean the first - it made back double it's budget in US alone), but certainly not the first successful female led hero/action movie - Alien, Underworld, Hunger Games, Terminator, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider franchises were all successful. Plus the blaxploitation, Hong Kong and Japanese films of the 70s and 80s, and the likes of Kill Bill, Salt and Fury Road since

I get calling it a good female film, and being excited about that, which is fine, but IDK, it just seems like so many people call it the first female comic book film, which it weird to me.

We learned more about Dredd (of the comics) and the world he occupied in that one location based film than we did in the more expansive Stallone film. It certainly catered more to Dredd fans than Stallone's film did

We learned more about Dredd (of the comics) and the world he occupied in that one location based film than we did in the more expansive Stallone film. It certainly catered more to Dredd fans than Stallone's film did Well I 100% agree it was good, and vastly superior to the Stallone film without question. It's just that it was the simplest thing they could have possibly done. If you were starting a Dredd series, I just don't think your first thought would be to host the entire story inside one building. Just a very simple way to go about it to do the whole thing on basically one set.
I remember a year before it came out stating that it wasn't going to do well, and I was just giving an honest outlook. People on the board thought I was trolling but there were at least three major reasons. 1 was the performance of the Stallone film and general lack of public appeal for the character. 2 was that there were 25 or more sci-fi/action films coming out that year already. And 3 was that the story was so obvious it simply wasn't must watch. There was no way to market that where it wasn't obvious he was just going to shoot his way up the building and throw her off the top. They did a great job of doing that story, but in the end that's all it was.
