JESSE WENTE'S TOP TEN COMIC-BOOK MOVIES

1/ Ghost World - a must-see for any comic fan, this quiet, funny, and surprisingly emotional movie shows that not all comics are about super heroes - directed by Terry Zwigoff, who also made "Crumb," about the legendary comic artist Robert Crumb

2/ Spiderman 2 - still amazes me with how much it got right - tone, action, appearance - very much the standard bearer for big budget comic book movies and one of the finest sequels in movie history

3/ The Dark Knight - enough already said about this one

4/ Superman 2 - this is still the best Superman adaptation ever, with excellent performances by Christopher Reeves, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman and Terrence Stamp - also look for director Richard Donner's alternate version on DVD

5/ Persepolis - Marjane Satrapi's memoir is poignant and amazingly beautiful, and the only animated movie on this list

6/ A History of Violence - David Cronenberg's modern masterpiece is even more disturbing and thoughtful than its source material - has helped elevate comic book movies

7/ Road to Perdition - Paul Newman's last truly great cinematic moment, and a great example of how to adapt a comic correctly - beautiful and haunting, with a Tom Hanks performances I can actually stand

8/ Oldboy - if you haven't seen this Korean masterwork, finish reading this list and then find it - this movie is one of the great thrill rides of modern moviedom, with innovative action choreography, a brilliant performance by Min-Sik Choi and a classic ending - fear an American remake

9/ Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance - the first in the epic series of movies that introduced me to the joys of arterial spray and heavily-armed strollers - if you want to see where Quentin Tarantino came up with Kill Bill, this is it - also serves as inspiration for "Road to Perdition"

10/ American Splendor - Paul Giamatti is absolutely brilliant in this movie adapted from Harvey Pekar's own comic memoir
