Best: 1. The Dark Knight 2. Spiderman 2 3. Thor 4. Iron Man 5. Kick *** Haven't yet seen Xmen First Class but it's on my summer movie list Worst: I pretty much agree with your worst list except that Daredevil would be in there somewhere. I always thought the Superman movies were passable...

I've never done it but it's not a bad idea. If you plan to do this, take pictures while you can of the relevant people, places, etc. Each one is worth 1,000 words ya know.
