- 'Superman' (1978) Directed by Richard Donner. The original Superman is arguably still the best movie to ever feature the iconic superhero. It's a pure and good-natured superhero movie, with the titular character doing a whole lot more saving people than fighting them.
- 'Reds' (1981) Directed by Warren Beatty. Reds is a mammoth film, clocking in at 195 minutes and telling a large-scale historical story with a truly impressive cast.
