According to Pete Travers, Howard the Duck is the Citizen Kane of duck movies. Courtesy of Universal Studios Home Ent.

Pete Travers

1. Watchmen (Nixon finally gets his due credit).

2. Superman (I would like to see a Superman movie where, in the first five minutes, Superman goes and finds Lex Luthor and throws him at the sun. Then tells one of his super friends, like Aquaman or somebody, to round up all of the Kryptonite on the planet and launches all of it at the sun. This way Aquaman does something truly useful for the team. Win, win. The vast majority of the movie could be Apache Chief's post-mortem slide presentation at the Hall of Justice about how life is so much easier now that Superman can solve everything).

3. Spider-Man

4. Ghost Rider

5. Men in Black (Isn't it obvious that I work at Sony Pictures Imageworks and this is turning into "The Pete Travers Story"?).

6. Howard the Duck (The Citizen Kane of duck movies. I can't wait for it to come out on Blu-ray!).

300 is another example of a stylized comic-turned-film that created an entirely new world. Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures.

Eric Barba

1. The Dark Knight (I love the characters. Heath Ledger was amazing. The whole movie felt so real -- it was more like a Michael Mann crime drama than a superhero movie).

2. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr. is so much fun to watch. The movie was pure fun from beginning to end).

3. Batman Begins (The filmmakers really showed what a superhero movie could be -- less camp, more drama).

4. X2 (It had a great feel and lots of interesting effects work).

5. 300 (A whole new world that looked amazing. A great mixture of art and storytelling).

6. Batman (Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton gave great performances. I remember that I was learning Alias at the time and my instructor had worked on the bat shields, so the movie really got me thinking about CG and visual effects).

From the Italian comic, Danger Diabolik is a favorite of Paul Franklin. Courtesy of Paramount Home Ent.

Paul Franklin

1. The Dark Knight

2. Batman Begins

3. Danger Diabolik (This is from an Italian comic, and it is certainly designed to feel like one!).

4. Barbarella (Best use of a lava lamp in the entire history of cinema).

5. Superman: The Movie (The Donner original and still the best).

6. Flash Gordon (Many people were disappointed that it wasn't a straight update of the Buster Crabbe Saturday morning serial, but for me this movie really captures the surreal swirl of the original '30s comicbook).
