Films based on graphics novels from Marvel or DC are the most common we see at the moment. There are a few that get released outside of these giant brands that can easily compete with them.

10) X-Men: First Class - The best of the Marvel films in my opinion, and one of the most surprising films I have ever seen. It was the best reboot possible. It overflows with top performances from a huge batch of actors playing our favorite mutants. Michael Fassbender was the highlight for me as Magneto, but there is more than enough other performances to make you give this film multiple viewings.
9) Superman - To some people, this is the film that laid the foundations to today's superhero franchises.
Christopher Reeve is the perfect portrayal of both the son of Jor-El and Clark Kent.
Also the casting of Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor was a stroke of genius and the two actors just produced a rivalry that people still love today.
8) Avengers: Endgame - The culmination of 12 years of work came to the most epic climax within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
After the events of Infinity War, it is up to the remaining Avengers to exact revenge on Thanos and correct the mistakes they made.
For many people, this is the blockbuster of a generation.
7) Avengers: Infinity War - Mine and many others favourite installment within the MCU.
It sees the Avengers back with many more allies trying to stop the villianous Thanos from killing half the universe.
The execution of the action, comedy and shock factor was nothing short of phenomenal. It's a tough order with so many characters involved. But the Russo brothers did a fantastic job.
6) Superman II - Terrific for its time and still enjoyable now.
It may seem just a classic good vs evil flick, but the content that is produced is constantly flowing at a pace that just amazes you.
Some terrific performances, especially by Terrence Stamp as the evil General Zod coming to get Superman, with a few friends at his side.
5) Batman Begins - The first of Nolan's trilogy blew people away with this reboot of the Gotham City vigilante.
It was a new experience for fans of superheroes and it was for the best as this was the birth of one of the best trilogies in movie-history.
4) The Dark Knight Rises - The third and final installment of Nolan's trilogy and ended with a bang.
New villains, new gadgets and yet still the same terrific movie-making.
It will take a brave director to reboot the Batman franchise, because I cannot see this current one being beaten.
3) The Dark Knight - After the success of Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan's vision continues to ground-break this genre.
Featuring my favourite supporting actor performance by the late Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight brought a whole new audience to this highly successful trilogy.
2) Watchmen - A totally different approach to the superhero genre.
Director Zack Snyder kept very close to the award winning graphic novel and actually made an ending that was better than the comic I felt. This also contains what I think is the best opening credits of all-time.
1) The Incredibles - We may have Marvel and DC, but Pixar reigns supreme with this incredible family animated adventure.
Despite no comic book history, this 2004 blockbuster became one of the most popular films of the decade.
It's wonderful story-telling, interesting characters and highly enjoyable tone, this is certainly one of Pixar's many classics that will stand the test of time.
