	movie title	related list	average rating	MPAA rating	watch	rent	buy
	Superman: The Movie (1978)
Paved the way...
	Batman: The Movie (1966)
You wanted a grim tragic tale of the dark knight, and you get a 'HOLY CAMPY FLICK BATMAN'
	Batman (1989)
Apparently, everyone seems to love Jack's joker. I did too until I saw the Joker in the short Batman film "Dead End" (which by the way is amazing) Finally set Batman straight. Under Jim Lee right now it is one of the top selling comics too
	Blade (1998)
The first marvel success in recent years. The reason for the slew of Marvel movies today and I'd like to thank it.
	Batman Returns (1992)
Oh I liked it, Michelle Pfeiffer will always be Catwoman...ahead of Halle Berry in her upcoming film ugh..she should stick to...
	X-Men 1.5 (2000)
The X-men..The second step to the Marvel movie revival and I just love it. Get Ultimate X-men, it is an amazing comic..
	Spider-Man (2002)
The current peak of the Marvel movies..not all i could hope for in a Spider-man movie, but with the given task of reintroducing Spidey to the world, Raimi does a great job. Get Ultimate Spider-man too, my favorite read every month.
	Daredevil (2003)
Entertaining..I seemed to like this more than everyone else, Farrell made me love every Bullseye scene.
	X2: X-Men United (2003)
Hard to believe but X-men gets topped by its sequel with the brilliant Bryan Singer addiing everything an X-men fanboy could want. Well except Psylocke and Gambit =p This will be the greatest trilogy ever. That is unless they make more.
	Hulk (2003)
It's a drama. Slow but amazing. It's not to be looked at as a typical superhero movie, cause The Hulk isn't your typical superhero.
	The Punisher (1989)
Yeah i watched half of this, and decided that the omission of the trademark skull on his chest is perhaps the funniest and worst mistake made in comic adaptation history. And the movie isn't so great either. High hopes for the new one though.
	Flash Gordon (1980)
Weird - Ass Sci Fi. That is all.
	Fritz the Cat (1972)			Not Rated
Crazy I've heard. I need to see this actually. Character created by R. Crumb who...
	Crumb (Criterion) (1994)
later had a biography directed by Terry Zwigoff who is responsible for the masterpiece that is...
	Ghost World (2001)
one of my favorite films. Makes me feel cold inside after watching. (In a good way of course) I personally like the comic a lot better for entertainment value, but the movie seemed to have more emotional impact.
	Judge Dredd (1995)
Yeah a Sylvestor Stallone flop, still i had to acknowledge the fact that it may have been a good idea in the beginning.
	Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972)			Not Rated
You had to have heard of this by now.. Based on old manga from Japan..spawned several Lone Wolf movies, the American edited (?) Shogun Assassin, new Dark Horse (i think) comic called Lone Wolf 2100, and Road to Perdition.
	Road to Perdition (2002)
This. Based on the RtP graphic novel, different take in retelling the lone wolf story. Good movie but I can't pass up katanas for tommyguns.
	Heavy Metal (1981)
Personally I know nothing more than seeing the cover in video stores. Any movie with Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath on the soundtrack has to be good though right?
	The Mask (1994)
Yes, it was a comic. A horror comic originally. Apparently 3 horror scripts had been written and rejected, until a comedy version was passed in and accepted.
	The Rocketeer (1991)
	Spawn (1997)
Michael Jai White! John Leguizamo as a psycho clown! That's all it had going for it.
	The Crow (1994)
Dark. Brilliant. Tragic. Thanks to Lee and Proyas.
	American Splendor (2003)
Yeah you've heard the praise. It's four layers conveying the story to you all at once. And it works. Flawlessly.
	From Hell (2001)
You may have not known this was a graphic novel first..and by the great Alan Moore, writer of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
	The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Alan Moore again. I liked it, great concept, characters, actors. Something was missing. I'm not sure what yet..
	Tank Girl (1995)
Haven't seen this one actually, first i hear something good, then i hear something terrible, so im reluctant. Does have Naomi Watts going for it..
	Conan the Barbarian (1982)
Yup, Marvel gave us Conan in comic form inspiring this stepping stone in Arnold's campaign for Governor..
	The Phantom (Disc 1 of 2) (1943)			Not Rated
I haven't actually seen these but this is in place for the Phantom Movie made sometime near 1996 with Billy Zane. Popular opinion says it was terrible, but hey nostaligia works.
	Josie and the Pussycats (2001)
I can't bring myself to watch this, it looks painful. Josie was a good read in Archie comics though..
	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (1990)
I love my turtles. The movie is based more on the cartoon rather than the comic, but it seems influenced by its darker qualities. They are making a comeback! Watch the TV Show, Buy the Comics.. The turtles need pizza
