5 Best Superman Movie Moments

1. I've Got You

superman ive got you Superman: The Movie remains the greatest Superman film ever made, thus far - hopefully for only another eight weeks. And it was only right, and frankly the only real choice, that the greatest Superman Movie Moment would come from Richard Donner's classic. Christopher Reeve's brilliance as the Man of Steel needs no further clarification, he was incredible. The tagline for this film was 'You Will Believe A Man Can Fly', and it is this, my number 1 moment which did it. Having not yet revealed himself to the world, Superman still doesn't exist, but when Lois Lane's helicopter gets caught on cables on the roof of the Daily Planet and she falls to her death, Clark sets his first shirt reveal in motion. Accompanied by John Williams score, the moment Superman catches Lois still delivers a shiver to my spine and goosebumps to my skin. I still watch that moment in the same way as I did the first time I saw it; paralysed by a pure sense of wonder and joy. And then he catches the helicopter. What a super man... "Superman". What about you readers, what are your greatest Superman movie moments?

Trying to be intelligent since 1984 - failing. The Dark Knight Trilogy is, in my humble opinion, the greatest trilogy every made. Nolan, Scorsese and Spielberg are my favourite directors, and I'd probably say GoodFellas is the best film I've ever seen - the Copacabana walk through alone... I love a Hitchcock and a good classic: Casablanca. I also write for Flickering Myth and Yahoo, and you can catch me talking film on a regular basis on the Flickering Myth Podcast.
