3. All-Star Superman (2011)

Oh, look, it’s a movie that makes me sob like a little boy who let go of his balloon.

All-Star Superman is based on one of the best comic books of all time, and even though it’s a shorter movie, it surprisingly doesn’t cut too much out. And it keeps its gut-punch ending and beautiful story. In the film, Superman saves a solar mission and winds up over-radiated with sun energy. As a result, he’s dying.

So with his last remaining time on earth, he embarks upon several labors to make the world a better place before he leaves it. At the same time, Lex Luthor begins his ultimate plan to finish Superman off and conquer the world. The film takes the form of a series of short installments showing Superman dealing with Atlas and Hercules, interviewing Lex Luthor in prison, fighting off two other Kryptonians, spending a day with a super-powered Lois Lane, and much more. And then it goes out on one of the best endings ever for a Superman comic.

If you’re one of those people who feels Superman is boring, feel free to watch this one before you apologize.
