Dan's Quick Picks

I don't have a lot of time right now for comments, so I am just going to list my favs and include a choice quote from the film. I will add comments later!

10. Hellboy II: The Golden Army

"You’re in love. Have a beer. "

9.
X2: X-Men United

“What's your real name, John?”

8. Batman Begins

“I'm Batman!"

7. Iron Man

“Good God, you're a woman! I honestly, I couldn't have called that. I mean, I would apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here? I thought of you as a soldier first.”


6. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

“You're harder to kill than a cockroach on steroids.”

5. Unbreakable

“Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy store. And you must think you're in a toy store, because you're here shopping for an infant named Jeb.”


4.
V for Vendetta

“Bollocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.”

3.
Spider-Man 2

“If promises were crackers, my daughter would be fat.”


2. The Incredibles

“Every time they run, we take a shot!”

1. The Dark Knight

"How about a magic trick?"

V for Vendetta should have made my list, it somehow slipped my mind. Although I think I would have dropped Swamp Thing and kept Judge Dredd.

I didn't include V for Vendetta because I wasn't sure if he qualified. I have yet to read the comic, and in the movie it is very unclear if he is actually some kind of superhero or what his story is. Either way, the "karate gimmicks" line is one of my favorites.

Dan, when I read the "I'm Batman" quote, in my head I heard you saying it in your Batman Voice. *giggles*

Hellboy II??? Really? Worst $20 I ever spent. Although, that scene was hilarious.

Spider-man 2 ranked so highly over the original? Ballsy.

That's my favorite quote from Iron Man. "I'm an Airman."

Solid list, although I don't believe I would classify V for Vendetta as a Superhero Movie. Worthy selection, but just not a superhero. A side note... is Emily suggesting she paid for Mike's ticket?
