When it was released I thought Interview with the Vampire wasn't bad--I was a big fan of the books so I was really looking forward to it. But even though I haven't seen it since, in my mind it hasn't aged well.

11.) Watchmen (Yeah, I know, that’s eleven)
12.) Bonus Pick: Defendor
13.) Bonus Pick 2: The Incredibles (If we’re including animated… in Top 10
I tried making a top ten superheroes list, but couldn't find ten that I felt were worthy.

1. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
2. The Incredibles (2004)
3. The Avengers (2012)
4. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
5. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
6. Batman Returns (1992)
7. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
8. Captain America: Civil War (2016)

And then I ran out of movies. The first Iron Man could be #9. But then I'd be including movies I think are just very good and not awesome. The Dark Knight is a very well-made film, but do I really want to watch it repeatedly? No.

This reminds me of when I got my first video rental store card in the 90s and saw all the vampire B-movies on the shelf and got excited and watched the first one, Embrace of the Vampire. I thought it was so stupid and knew this genre was not for me anymore.
WHAAAT???!!!?? No "Embrace of the Vampire"? (Alyssa Milano... ::know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more::

Are you starting to see a pattern forming here??? LOL!
Obviously, you are not looking at these vampire movies from the proper perspective. Plot??? We don't need no steenkin' plot!!!

Added Bonus: The Night Flier (Stephen King)

I hear ya. However some movies have scenes so memorable they're worthy of inclusion (or just replaying the scene repeatedly). I have ALWAYS loved the scene in Superman 2 where he runs through the alley, changing clothes, in a blurred effect, and then sails skyward. Sooo reminiscent of the comic book depictions.

Animated Movies

Going for the old school vibe here... traditional animation-esque, which unfortunately eliminates CGI greats like The Incredibles, Toy Story, Shrek, WALL-E, and so on, or Claymation (Sorry, Aardman).

1.) Akira
2.) Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
3.) Heavy Metal
4.) Fantasia
5.) Allegro Non Troppo (Great Fantasia Spoof)
6.) Robot Carnival
7.) The Iron Giant
8.) Ghost in the Shell
9.) Fantastic Planet
10.) Steamboy
11.) Bonus Pick: Wicked City (Very Graphic… not for kids)
