I think it’s safe to say that 2011 is the year of the comic book movie. For several years now, I’ve kept a running tab of the best and worst superhero comic book movies (and the best zombie ones, too) on a separate page—but it’s high time for an update. Hence, this post . . . Which will be reprinted on that page for posterity.
The rules:
(1) It has to be a movie. DVD movies are okay, but TV shows and TV movies don’t qualify. Maybe, if you all are interested, I’ll make a list of those one day, too.
(2) It has to be based on an English-language comic book—because I can’t read comics in any other language—or be about superheroes. Both is even better.
(3) I have to have actually seen it. If your favorite or least-fave isn’t on here, drop me a comment. I’ll do my homework.
So, send me your votes for up to 10 films for the best comic book movies of all time! You can drop a comment, or email me with your votes. Results won’t be tallied until mid-August, so you’ve got lots of time to think about it!

Great idea! I gotta go for all the recent ones that have been kicking ass:
Captain America
X-Men First Class
Thor
Spider-Man 2
Iron Man
The Dark Knight
and
Batman Begins.
And by the way, I think Chester meant “History of Violence” not “End of Violence.”

Like to agree with some other posters with Tankgirl, The Crow, and Blade. Even if the sequels for the The Crow and Blade all sucked (no pun intended).
Wasn’t aware Sin City or 30 Days of Night (both of which I enjoyed) had any comic book origins…

Sin City was by the great Frank Miller and 30 Days of Night was by Ben Templesmith, an indie darling. Matt “Thor/Fear Itself” Fraction even wrote a few 30 Days of Night volumes.
