Sam Raimi’s trilogy went off the rails a little with Spider-Man 3, but the first movie was genuinely great and remains a classic.

This was a time when Hollywood was still uneasy about using comic book movies, but Raimi’s first effort showed that audiences would show up to see these types of movies.

Without the success of this we wouldn’t have the thriving comic book movies we see today, so it's hard to argue against this one.
