This is my dad's favorite film he even brought my mom to see it on their first date, 30 years later when this was on TV my mom itted to all of us that it was a pretty shitty date because my dad was so transfixed by the movie he didn't pay any attention to her at all, what a nerd!!

With apologies to Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford, and people who pronounce the word ‘Krypton’ wrong, this movie would be even stronger if you cut out the first 45 minutes entirely and started with the very first shot in Metropolis. That’s when the story really begins anyway. Even in 1978, everyone knew Superman’s origin — or at least enough to understand the rest of the movie.

“You’ve got me? Who’s got you?”

The classiest, most magical superhero movie. A triumph of old-fashioned spectacle, always earnest, playful but never mocking. Forever iconic. RIP Richard Donner.
