I've got to weigh in with the Unbreakable fans. Great movie.

But really what could compete with the Greatest American Hero?

I feel this list is incomple though. I would add.

Superman I, another watershed movie.

Ahem. That movie's actually not missing from the list. Look again.

Blade I, an excellent film
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, go ahead and groan, As a fan of the comics, I have to say the original movie was very true to the storyline. Too bad they didn't make April black though.

Yeah, but not traditional superhero movies either. I can see leaving both of them off, especially TMNT, because they really aren't the same genre.

Well heck, I certainly wouldn't call Unbreakable a traditional superhero movie and it appears to have five votes ennumerated in the 'Other' category. While I did like Unbreakable, I neither consider it a superhero movie, nor do I consider it to be as good by my measure as some of the others on this list.

Me neither, but I can at least see why folks are considering that one. I think Blade, while good and yes, based on a comic book, isn't really a "superhero" of the type you think of when you hear the word, and the tone and trappings of the movie are more gothic horror combined with a super-soldier. TNMT is a parody, combined with 80s silliness vis-a-vis ninjas and whatnot.

Personally I wouldn't call either of them part of the "superhero" genre, while Unbreakable at least is kinda a twist and new look at the Superhero genre from another angle.

Other - Unbreakable

I agree, great understated movie...

 

[spatha]

Spiderman.
The first time you see him swinging across the screen in costume was......orgasmic(for lack of a better description).

 

[Zarithar Savageclaw]

Batman Begins
X-Men
X2
Spawn
Mystery Men
Blade II (not a traditional "super-hero" I know... but a hero nonetheless from a comic book)
Batman (Michael Keaton version)

The Crow

Blade I/II
