Comic Book Movie
 

The next countdown is the one for comic book movies and I think I have a lot of catch up to do. I think that's all I've seen so I'm curious to see your recommendations

Superman
Nausicaa
Akira
Robocop (not sure)
Battle Royale
Oldboy
Batman Begins
Sin City
V for Vendetta
300
Persepolis
X Men
X2
X Men Last Stand
Spider Man
Spider Man 2
Spider Man 3
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Star Trek (not sure if it's based on a comic)
Watchmen
Iron Man 2
Kick-Ass (not sure if it's based on a comic)
Thor
The Dark Knight Rises
Thor 2

I'm pretty certain RoboCop is not eligible; that would be my clear cut number one pick. I would recommend checking out The Crow and X Men: First Class.

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Anime based on manga you should see:

Porco Rosso
Tekkonkinkreet
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

The Lone Wolf and Cub series is based on manga, you should definitely watch those six films if you can.

Lady Snowblood part one and two are worth a watch, especially if you like the Kill Bill movies. You can tell Snowblood was a big influence.

When the Wind Blows should be seen by everybody, it's an emotionally riveting piece of animation.

The Addams Family is a personal favorite, but I don't know if anybody loves it as much as I do.

If you want some good action, I'd recommend Dredd and The Punisher (1989)

Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy should be seen for how crazy it is.

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

I've seen Nausicaa and I can't find Porco Rosso.

The rest, I put on my watchlist !

I just missed Nausicaa the first time I guess. I see it now.

I hope you enjoy!

and I hope this works for Porco Rosso, personally I've never used this before. http://kissanime.com/Anime/Porco-Rosso-Sub/Movie

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Four that I suspect are overlooked:

Ninja Bugeicho (1966)
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) (yes, "picture books" count)
Mystery Men (1999) (features characters from the Flaming Carrot continuity, I believe)

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is based on a comic book? I'll have to add it to my watchlist, I had no idea.

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

thanks for the link jiraffejustin !

No problem at all. I am happy you get to watch a movie I love.

But you could repay me by joining the MoFo Big Brother game.

When I click on it it says that I can't access this page

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

No, RoboCop and Star Trek aren't eligible.

Nor is Thor 2 as it was released too late.

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

I wasn't gonna vote for Thor 2 anyway hahaha it was pretty bad.

Star Trek us eligible?

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Edited that post while you were posting... no, Star Trek isn't eligible either.

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Kick Ass and the Kick Ass 2 are though. You said you weren't sure about those either but they're eligible.

The rest of your picks are fine... just remember not to reveal your actual list when you've completed it :D

Whoops. http://www.movieforums.com/community...ad.php?t=34757

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Rodent these are just all the comic books I've seen as of now in no particular order, I won't reveal the list

jiraffejustin allright I'll check it up

I actually think I should watch the Kick Ass movies before submitting my list. Still have to watch Dredd too.

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

I didn't really liked Kick Ass to be honest ...

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Yeah, watch Dredd first. It's miles better than Kick-Ass.

I would recommend the following animated comic book based films:

Galaxy Express 999
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQr-fnhGUes
A must watch, from the 1970's, a classic, even though the animation is extremely dated. It's a movie, maybe even if I am in good mood.

Only Yesterday
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYm7IT_K5eo
Isao Takahata's absolute masterpiece is based on a comic book. It was the first film that made my cry and is in my top 30 favorites.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE68m_l1aoI
This is a great movie, I rate it . It's really great and it is on youtube for free (that's not the trailer).

Whisper of the Heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvMn8H9tgjU
A rate this masterpiece , it's in my top 30 favorites. Also based on a manga.

In addition:
- K-ON! The Movie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAjXUXD2W0w
A bit weaker than the others but still very fun to watch, I rate it as .

- Ghost in the Shell (I and II, and there is also another one that I forgot the name that is very good).

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

I don't like shojo's so I'm not really interested in Harui Suzumiya, but I'll check up the rest

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Haruhi Suzumiya is based shonen manga actually. Main character is a 17 year old guy.

Whisper of the Heart is based on shojo manga, though. It's a very feminine and subtle film. Same applies to Only Yesterday, based on a josei manga.

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

I've read some of the Haruhi Suzumya manga and didn't really care for it. I'd like to see Only Yesterday and Whisper of the Heart because it's Takahata (only yesterday) and Miyazaki wrote Whisper of the Heart

Re: Comic Book Movie
 

Modesty Blaise (1966)
Barbarella (1968)
The Mask (1994)
Tank Girl (1995)
Alois Nebel (2011)

Alter Egos, not based on a comic per se, but it does revolve around superheroes and such. It's actually really good. A whole new look at superheroes and their powers.

"I'm a superhero you gotta help me."
