In no real order

-Batman fighting Catwoman-Batman Returns
-Spidey fighting Doc Ock on the train-Spider-Man 2

[ilovemovies]

In no particular:

Practically the entire movie of Daredevil. But in particular the Elektra/Matt Murdock square off, the Elektra and Bullseye fight, the Daredevil and Bullseye fight and the Daredevil and Kingpin fight! As well as the coffee shop scene where Matt first meets Elektra.


Jean Grey's sacrifice in X2

Wolverine's fight with Kelly Hu's character in X2


When Bruce Willis asks his boss if he's ever called in sick to work and then his boss gives him a raise in Unbreakable :D

When Samuel L. Jackson's character is following that guy with the gun and falls down the stairs in Unbreakable.

The train station scene in Unbreakable where Willis touches all of those people and sees what they've done and the scene after where he follows the big guy who took over these people's house and held them hostage and he unties them and fights that guy.

Last scene from Unbreakable, when Willis touches Jackson's hand and sees that he created all those disasters.

Superman the movie
Where clark rips open his shirt and that badass S comes out right when the music peaks.

Superman Chasing the XK101


Other than that there are no others that I can consider great.

Sorry

The Spider-Man 2 train sequence jumps to mind.

[Hannibal21]

-The train sequence in Spider-Man 2
-The final showdown with Batman/Catwoman/The Penguin/Max Schreck in Batman Returns, even more effective with it's tragic feel
-The sequence up in the church at the end of Batman
-Wolverine vs. Lady Deathstrike in X2
-Selena Kyle's transformation into Catwoman in Batman Returns
-When Peter Parker first discovers his powers in Spider-Man

[docholiday_13]

- Wolverine FINALLY impaling a dude in full berserker rage mode in X2
- The Punisher fighting the Big Russian (shitty movie though)
- The end of Batman. Elfman's score kicking in while panning up the buildings to one of the greatest money shots ever.
- The end of Spider Man with Spidey webslinging through New York.
- Wolvie and Sabretooth's first scrap in X-Men.
- House of Pain sequence in Blade 2

I'll post my favorite comic book movie moment:

Nyssa's death at sunrise in Blade II.

[Haddonfield]

Peter Parker walking away from MJ after she announces her love for him at the end of Spider-Man

[Tweek]

Superman turning back time.

The Joker's fate in Batman 1. "You wouldn't happen to be the guy with the glasses would you?"

Also from Batman 1 "Mirror! Get me a mirror!".

Batman Returns: Catwoman back flips out of the building. Awkward silence. She says, "Meow". Then building blows up.

Hulk: The very last scene. :D :D
Hulk: When he turned the barrel on the tank onto the driver.

Wolvey vs Lady Deathstryke - X2

You, sir, rule.

But I prefer the strangulation of the Orange Man. It was so real. He could have leapt over the bed, thrown him out the window, whatever. But, instead, he did whatyou or I would do and crept up on the man from behind.

[drago25]

Yeah Unbreakable is a great movie, I only didnt put it on my list cuz its not really a "comic book movie" since it isnt based on a comic, its a hero movie though of course, I just assumed it wouldnt be counted. Unbreakable is very underrated though, grossly underrated.

[Donnie_Darko]

shows restraint in not slamming the mentioning of Unwatchable

Best comic book movie moment EVER... never made it. From the original Spiderman trailer, when Spidy tangles the chopper between the World Trade Centers. BUT, they had to go and disrespect the memory of those buildings, and cut everything out... asshats.

Other than that... uhm.... Kelly Hu in X2. Nothing she did, just her. And I'll toss Anna Paquin in there too... for good measure. :D

[adamjohnson]

Oh, come on. Unbreakable is great.

I remember hearing about the 'greatest superman fight that ever was" that... never was. Was it for Superman 4? 5? The budget got cut at the last moment, and the opening battle was never finished. I think the baddies name was Radiation something.

Anyway, that train scene in Spidey 2 is pretty damn spectacular. But I think when he rips open his shirt to reveal his spider costume is also great. SAme with Supes 1.

And, despite the awesome awfulness of Daredevil it did ONE THING really great. It showed the meandering, everyday things that a superhero does. He comes home and soaks his wounds, and i thought that, at heart, was wonderful. (Terrible movie IMO)

How about "I'm Batman." That was pretty great.

X2 has a few great moments. The Nightcrawler scene - WOW. Freakin spectacular scene. I hope this series doesnt falter w/o Singer on board.



OHHH, I freakin forgot the best one. I forget if it was Superman I or II, but I think its one. Lois is dead. HE finds her body. And that SCREAM. Thats some powerful stuff. Good boy Clark finally lets his anger go. Its quite impressive to behold really.

[Deckard]

SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE- When Superman catches the Helicopter after changing in the revolving doors........special mention must go to Luthor's line about Otis...."It's amazing that tiny little brain can generate enough energy to move those legs."

SUPERMAN II: "General Zod, Would you care to step outside" The final rumble in the city never gets old for me...... Also love the redemption scene at the end when he decks the redneck bully.

THE CROW: When he catches the knife in the alley, hurls it back at dreadlock boy and appears simultaniously at the impact point. The famous gunfight is also memeorable for its real life consequences as well as its brilliantly staging.

BATMAN: The "Wait till they get a load of me" scene is fantastic as is the final battle.

SPAWN: ANIMATED MOVIE: The "WHo's about to take your fuckin head off scene" is forever an all time fave

BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: ANIMATED MOVIE: When Batman slams Superman ofcourse.....followed closely by Batmans discovery of Supermans secret identity.

AKIRA: Battling the clowns on Motorcycle in the opening action set piece blows my mind every time.

LONE WOLF AND CUB: To many wonderful decapitations and dismembering to name just one..lets consider the whole series one beautiful, memorable moment.

couldnt be bothered doing ten right now but thats 8 gems...

Just to clarify - The scene you mentioned wasnt the scene where Lee was killed. He was killed in one of the flashbacks (I think it was near the end) where he was originally killed. He comes in through the door to discover the men raping his women, and the knife guy throws a knife at him. That was the REPLACEMENT scene. The original scene had him just being shot, and that was the fatal bullet.

Needless to say, the footage was destroyed. Thankfully.

[Deckard]

I was talking about 2 seperate scenes in my post, sorry if that wasnt clear.

Im aware of the scene in which he died and mentioned it because it is still there just altered in the final showdown, which always resonates with me every time I watch that final shoot out.. Just to note also the Australian edit of THE CROW is different to the US.

In no particular order:

-Seeing the shadowy bird figure over the water at the end of X2
-The train chase in Spider-Man 2
-The final showdown in Batman Returns
-The entire training sequence in Men in Black
-The last conversation between Enid and Seymour in Ghost World

I didn't feel like Crumb or American Splendor counted, since they're about people who write comic books, and are not actually adapted from comic books, so I didn't count them.
