I think V for Vendetta should definitely be on the list.
And Watchmen should be added.
Neither movie really does the character justice.
I agree with Tenzhi that the new Amazing Spiderman is better than the Toby McGuire trilogy.
Don't do this to me... really... I have not seen it... didn't see it in theathers... plese... dont make me curious... I dont want to... please!!!!
I am sorry to do this to you, but I concur with Tenzhi an Septipheran. The new Spidey movie is great.
I ignore the other movies, just like I heard someone thought about making a fourth Indiana Jones (but it never came out). (*glares* IT NEVER CAME OUT.)
I heard they were going to put the same kid in it that they were going to put in that Transformers movie that didn't get made. What was it... Stewie LeBeef or something like that?Suddenly watching a movie in my head with Stewie Griffin in place of that kid. Instantly 100x better.
Weird how stuff with that kid in it never gets made.

Stewie LeBeef or something like that?Dunno what you are talking about... the Transformer movies were great fun! (Except for the race parody twins, Megan Fox, moms getting high, robot testicles, and probing robot tongues).

Make what you will of that bunch of rambling.
Speaking of Joss, you could pick up the original Buffy movie with Kristy Swanson. Not as good as the series, but not so bad,
Another Raimi film, The Darkman, from 1990, is also good.
Returner - Japanese cyberpunk futuristic superhero movie, it has everything you need in one place, including aliens!
I heard they were going to put the same kid in it that they were going to put in that Transformers movie that didn't get made. What was it... Stewie LeBeef or something like that?Except Holes. Without Holes we wouldn't have Guster Burton. Come on son!

If you liked Mystery Men you might wanna check out The Specials. It has a similar tongue-in-cheek vibe to it.
Dredd 2012
Showgirls!!! Oh wait, no wrong list. Sooo many great movies named, but to sum it up, I think they are all essential. Even the bad ones. After all, we can't succeed unless we first learn failure. Of course we could have done without some of the epic failures. (The first attempt at a fantastic 4 movie)
XMen Origins-Wolverine since it answers questions we were waiting for answer to.
The hardest part of watching a Super Hero movie is being a fan before the movie. Watching Hollywood butcher stories of our favorite Characters is tough. As much as we try to be objective, it's hard not to get angry when our favorites are twisted into crap balls. I understand the need for Hollywood to change a little, or add new stories, but screwing with their origins or re-writing back stories is a big no no. Wolverine origins, X-Men movies. Blehhh. If you think those were good, i urge you to go read the comics those movies were taken from. Wolverines complete back story is so much better than that turd of a movie explains. Not to mention I'm still not over what they did to Deadpool. Evil Hollywood bastards. Poor Wade.
Just watch any movie made from a Stephen King novel. Most are trashed and he allows it (he is in most of them). I will never understand Hollyweird.
Yep, got that right. Silver Bullet wasn't too bad, but for the most part yuck. Then again, I feel he kinda gives up and gives in on a lot. The final book in the Gunslinger series is a prime example. Sometimes writing the end is tougher than writing the beginning. So my thought s are, if your not ready to end it, don't force it.
For some reason, the movies made under his Richard Bachmann pseudonym translate much better: Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, the Green Mile, and Misery.

For the record, on the Pumaman MST3K episode, it's Mike, not Joel. (It's season 9, which means that it's also Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy down in Castle Forrester)
For the record, on the Pumaman MST3K episode, it's Mike, not Joel. (It's season 9, which means that it's also Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy down in Castle Forrester) I actually kinda like the movie uncut, if only because Vadinho (the supposed sidekick) gets more awesome scenes (including tearing the hero's car apart and insulting him, plus magically healing himself) in the unedited version.
The guy who played Tony/Pumaman went on to become a malpractice attorney (http://www.altonlawfirm.com/), and actually appeared on an episode of the Daily Show (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-march-1-2005/bee---gag-order) back in 2005.
I actually also like the Hulk (2003) film non-ironically, but it needed a better villain and more tank-punching. It wasn't perfect by any means, but I think it got a lot of things right, and I really liked Bana as Banner, more than Norton. (Admittedly, I liked Mark Ruffalo more than both of them)
I am dating myself but no one has mentioned The Greatest American Hero. Very campy, from what I remember, but very popular back in it's day.

Old school movie..Johnny scokko and his flying robot. There a short movie that splices some of the episodes into a movie that was on channel 56 Boston mass in the 70'. There also the live version of battleship Yamato. Also fantastic voyage and infra-man and ultraman.
