Comics fans will be arguing about the placement of Sin City (43) and Superman (44). No other comic book-inspired films made the list.
The films will be the backdrop of the 2007 VES Festival of Visual Effects, which those of you in Los Angeles can enjoy at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills from June 7 through June 10. There, a panel that includes Douglas Trumbull, Richard Edlund, Dennis Murren and maybe John Dykstra (he’s tentative as we write this) will discuss the list.
After the jump, the whole list.
