- 'The Royal Tenenbaums' (2001) Directed by Wes Anderson. It's fair to call The Royal Tenenbaums a comedy, so long as you include a disclaimer of sorts that clarifies it's a very sad comedy at times.
- '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.
