30 Day Film Challenge / Day 27

Today the challenge is your favorite superhero film.

I am going old school on this one — all the way back 42 years ago. “Superman” was released in 1978, directed by Richard Donner. With a musical score by Paul Williams and a cost of $50 million, the film earned over $300 million at the box office.

Superman was one of THE superheroes of my childhood, so maybe I have a special affinity for the character. I loved Christopher Reeve in the lead role and with the star studded cast, it might have been difficult to miss with consumers.

 


I decided to take on this challenge for July after reading about it from SandmanJazz. Check out his blog and his entry for the twenty-seventh day of the challenge. Maybe even join in!

  1. A hard one for me, especially as I would have chosen the same film, if only for the fabulously sexy Valerie Perrine, and a great cameo from Gene Hackman. I don’t watch them at all now, so will go with this quirky and amusing one that I did watch, which is very ‘modern’.
    If you haven’t seen it, I suggest you watch it. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Best wishes, Pete.

  2. I like Sandmanโ€™s The Shadow and I like your 1st Superman the best. However I must say Wonder Woman, was very good until another multi explosive ending. I like it because my grand nephew, Wayne Dalglish was both Stunt Supervisor and Fight Supervisor, as well as stuntman. Hate to tell secrets but thatโ€™s not Gal doing that fighting, itโ€™s Wayne.
    He also did the supervision in Beetley Peteโ€™ favorite Deadpool, and is waiting for the sequel to resume filming in Germany.

  3. I liked this movie too! I wouldnโ€™t have minded Margot Kidder as Lois so much if she had a more melodic voice. She sounded like she was just recovering from laryngitis. Christopher Reeve made my heart flutter.

    1. Thatโ€™s interesting, Marge. I always thought she conveyed a gravely reporter trying to fit into a manโ€™s world.

  4. I remember this Superman being a romantic movie which I enjoyed. I love watching old movies with heroic characters. Still, when I think of superheroes, I also think of extraordinary people who lived real lives like MLK. I guess those would be biographical films. Gorillas in the Mist about Dianne Fossey comes to mind. And then there’s the Matrix…..;)
