As I said a few weeks ago, I have started a new feature here at Channel Surfing called the Friday Five. I’m hoping it will be a regular feature and that we’ll get some participation from readers.
This week I’ve turned it over to my brother, Mark, who knows far more about the superhero business than I do (he is a bit of comic-book geek, and I mean that as a compliment). This week — so that the lead up makes sense — I offer the Top 5 Superhero movies, according to Mark Kalet:
I can do that in my sleep and in no particular order:
- Spider-Man
- Superman: The Movie
- Batman Begins/The Dark Knight
- Spider-Man 2
- X-Men 2
Honorable Mention: The Matrix, because it showed the studios how to do real superhero action.
When I told him I would have included Iron-Man, he responded:
Hmm. Ok this is harder than I thought because I liked Iron Man more than Dark Knight.
Good choices, all in all — and no Daredevil!
