Superhero Movies: The Blockbuster List

Movie site compiles list made for "swamp monster" marathons and "capes and tights" movie nights

Blockbuster.com has been my preferred movie-by-mail service for more than a few years now, so it was a nice surprise to see them calling out an impressive number of films based on comics in their big summer promotional list.

The list is actually pretty comprehensive, and includes a few titles I wasn't expecting to be on Blockbuster's radar as comics-inspired projects (i.e., Road to Perdition). It's a great starting point for anyone looking to put together a comics-movie marathon this season, or perhaps a themed alternative to the Comic-Con chaos kicking off this week on the West Coast.

Heck, they even included Man-Thing!

I don't do business with Blockbuster; they rent censored movies.
