516. Superman (1978): It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Ned Beatty

We had to go all the way back to the 70s to find a movie where Superman was actually cool and, man oh superman, does this one deliver. Who needs crappy-looking CGI villains when you have the horrifying Ned Beatty and an ascot-wearing Gene Hackman. Throw in some pre-meltdown Margot Kidder and the perennial whacked out Marlon Brando and this one writes itself. We loved this one as boys and couldn't find a reason not to like it still. But we give it our best shot anyway.
