3. Superman Unbound
4. World's Finest: Batman/Superman Movie

Then a huge drop off to:

5. Superman vs The Mole Men

7. Superman Returns
8. Everything Else

[Action Ace]

1. Superman: The Movie
2. Superman II
2A. Fleischer Superman cartoon shorts as a group would go here

[Kurosawa]

1. STM
2. Superman II
3. Fleischer Superman cartoons
4 All-Star Superman
5. Superman III
6. Superman vs the Mole Men
7. Atom Man vs. Superman serial

* I am more inclined to not count MOS as a Superman movie because it is so completely wrong in every way possible. But if I count it, then it of course is the worst Superman movie ever made, animated or live-action (which it really counts as both since half of it is a CGI cartoon).

[MykeHavoc]

Superman: The Movie
All-Star Superman
Superman II (Both cuts)
Superman vs. The Elite
Superman Returns

I guess you never saw Superman Brainiac Attacks eh? I assume that would rank pretty low.

Can't even rank the awfulness of SM III, IV, and SM Returns. Have not found time to see the others mentioned by others.

[md62]

1. Superman: The Movie
2. Superman II
3. Superman Returns (with the right editing & taking the kid angle out it would have been great!)
4. Man of Steel (mixed feelings about the movie - some great moments/ideas & some really bad moments).
5. Superman III - the one good thing about this movie was Lana.
6. Superman IV - only Superman movie I watched one time.

[daBronzeBomma]

Ranking favorites? OK. How 'bout a top 8?

1. All-Star Superman animated movie
2. Superman vs the Elite animated movie
3. Last Son of Krypton animated compilation from S:TAS
4. Man of Steel
5. Superman: The Movie
6. Superman II
7. Doomsday animated movie
8. Unbound animated movie

The rest I either haven't seen, seen but REALLY don't like, or seen but disqualify due to the presence of other alpha heroes like Batman or the Justice League.
