Film:  Superman, the Richard Donner version

Not enough credit is given to this film for laying the groundwork of what Batman and Marvel are now doing.  People talk about Nolan putting Batman into the real, contemporary world, but the entire 2nd half of the Superman film essentially does the same thing.

Some notable things about the movie, since I hadn't seen the film since I was a kid:

-My god are the beginning scenes on Krypton bad looking.  Even by 1978 standards.  It really makes you remember how remarkable the visual design of the original Star Wars exceeded anything else being done at the time.  I would think TV Star Trek was better designed than Superman.

-Lex Luther is not even mentioned until 1 hour into the movie.  Superman does not meet Luther until almost 2 hours into the movie.
