The MoFo Comic Book Movies List

Before we get started, there's been a bit of talk in the now jacked RoboCop thread :D

The aim of this thread at the moment, is to define how much interest there would be in a MoFo Comic Book Movies List.

Basically, if it's a movie and was based on a Comic, it counts.
I'd make a cut off point with dates as "Released In Cinemas Before 31st August 2013" so as to include as many as we can.

I'd be more than happy to do the list myself unless someone else reckons they could do it (open to volunteers :D) but I would need a second member who can work Excel so we can keep track of the scores.

If I did it, I'd be looking at a MoFo Top 50 Comic Book Movies. There are enough out there to make a Top 50 without having stuff like Catwoman and Howard The Duck making appearances.

Also, would you like a Comic Book List... or a Superhero List? Or even the possibility of making two lists?

So... thoughts?

Ok… Rules for the Comics List. Using the same rules as were used in Harry’s 90s list and Skepsis’ 80s list.

In keeping with what I said before, I’ll hold this list for General Comics rather than just for solely Superhero films.

The regulations on choices are:

Simply, it should be based on a comic book or graphic novel. Whether live action or animated, if it is a feature length film, it counts.

Made-For-TV Movies (example: Black Scorpion 1995 and Dr Strange 1978), Direct-To-Video/DVD (example: Darkman II and Man Thing 2005) Animated TV Series, Live Action TV Series and Documentaries about comic book films don’t count.

There is no time limit for the films per say, but a cut-off point will be September 1st 2013, the beginning of this month. Only films that were released before August 31st 2013 will count.

If you do want to pick 25 Superhero Movies as your entries, that’s perfectly fine as long as they are based on comics and/or graphic novels.
So the choice is yours.

Submit your ranked list (1-25, no ties) to me via PM with the title "Your Username - MoFo Comics List".
You have plenty of time to consider and submit your list, so no changing it once you've submitted it to me.
Also, please add the year after each film as it will make it easier to know which film exactly you’re voting for.

New members can send in a list as soon as they've been a member here for one month. This measure is taken so that the list isn't influenced by members who've been on here for a week and then pack their bags and never come back.

Films that are part of a series or trilogy etc (Iron Man, Nolan’s Batman, etc etc etc) must be submitted as separate films.

Any movie listed on the following Wiki Pages is eligible for the list. Just be sure to check that any you pick fall in to the rules of the List, no TV Movies, Documentaries etc as I mentioned above.

Those revealing their lists before the countdown has ended will be disqualified. That just defeats the point of the whole thing.

As per usual, films will be awarded points as follows: 25 points for 1st place, 24 points for 2nd place, 23 for 3rd and so on.

The deadline for entries is 31st March 2014. The actual Countdown will begin in April.
This gives well over 6 months to get entries in and counted up.
Plenty of time to catch up on what you want to see and get your lists in!

The list will be called: The MoFo Top 50 Comic Book Movies
Being a Top 50 will make it slightly tougher and will be basically a cream of the crop list based on votes, yet also more satisfying when one of your picks makes it.

Happy listing!!
