CFE's 100 Comic Book Movie Countdown

To set things up:

On Myspace I do daily movie review bulletins, listing the top films of a given genre/sub genre/filmmaker/actor etc. I pick a topic and rank a selection of films every month.

On the 14th of January, I began counting down 100 Comic Book Films...basically because by starting it that day it will end with the announcement of number 1 on my 21st birthday in April.

With the Countdown nearing to the top 30 films, I've decided to take it to all of the message boards that I frequent for all of you to join in following the Countdown that so many people have given me props for.

Everyday I'll be counting down and reviewing a Comic Book Film in the thread I linked to and you can feel free to take that day to talk about the reviewed film....

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!!!

To both see the full reviews so far and pick up following the countdown, follow the Super Hero Hype link that I provided below!!!

We already know The Dark Knight owns the #1 spot. Iron Man will probably be not far behind. I hope The Rocketeer makes it in there somewhere.

Ghostrider is making it into the top 18? The first Spider-Man was better than that!

Ghost Rider is #66 :hat:

And "The Dark Knight" doesn't necessarily own #1...I'll also say that "Iron Man" isn't in the top 10.
