Batman Begins.
While I loved the Burton Batman when it came out (ahh, to be 13 again), I never quite liked Nicholson as the Joker (what do you mean, we now know his real identity???) or Keaton (short balding man puckering up?) as Batman. Plus Gordon was a complete joke.
After that, I'd say Superman I & II, mostly because Chistopher Reeve embodied the character in a supernatural level that is borderline eerie.
After that it's X1 and X2 tied with Spidey 1 & 2.
Oddly as it sounds, I didn't find the Incredibles to be interesting to me.

In order:
Unbreakable
The Incredibles
Superman
Batman Begins
Spidey 1 & 2 + X1 & 2 are right there too
Personally I find it mind boggling that some don't consider Unbreakable a superhero movie. By what definition exactly would it be excluded? Personally I feel it's arguably the "truest" superhero story to make the big screen. If you found out you were different how would you react?

As I was scrolling down I was just thinking I had missed that one. I LOVE The Specials. Great flick.

Top fave would have to be Superman. Christopher Reeve did such an excellent job in the dual role of Clark/Supes, even making the lamest disguise in all of comicdom not only seem plausible, but workable. Gene Hackman was fun as Luthor, and had some of the best one-liners in the film. Gonna be hard to go see Superman Returns with someone other than Chris Reeve in the blue tights.
Close second would have to be a four-way toss-up between Batman Begins (or as some of my friends call it "Batman Done Right"), The Incredibles, and both Spider-Man movies.

Batman Begins, with X-2 coming in at a decent second.
Much as I enjoy the Incredibles, I've never been able to quite reconcile it as in the same league as other super-hero movies, much in the same way I wouldn't put Shrek side by side with the Lord of the Rings.
Also, while I enjoy the Spider-Man movies, I find them just a tad too cartoony for my tastes. Same thing with Unbreakable, but in reverse.
Many of the other choices, while good for their time, are sadly dated.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with that opinion. Definitely the most "realistic" superhero movieTonguez said:
