Top Ten "Comic Book" Movies

Ah, comic books and movies. Two things I love. But, sadly, the marriage between the two usually results in a dismal failure. But, today we are counting down the top ten best movies based on comics. This doesn't necessarily mean the best (as in, most accurate) adaptation, but the pictures that had comic books as source material that turned out the best:

10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

9. Sin City

8. The Crow

7. Spider-Man

6. Superman: The Movie

5. Road to Perdition

4. X2: X-Men United

3. Ghost World

2. A History of Violence

1. Batman
