Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Behind The Scenes This star-packed extravaganza brings the comic book legend to the screen in grand style. It begins with Superman's scientist dad sending the infant superhero down to Earth just as the home planet, Krypton, explodes into a zillion pieces. Taking up permanent residence on Earth, the young Superman grows up into supernormal reporter Clark Kent, wooing winsome colleague Lois Lane and keeping his true identity hidden from the world. But when three villains come up with a dastardly real estate scheme that involves shoving California into the ocean, Clark Kent decides it's time to don his cape and fight the forces of evil. The Superman myth is well told, from his birth on the doomed planet Krypton to his childhood in a small Kansas town and beyond, in Richard Donner's blockbuster. After he comes of age, young Clark Kent, as his Earth parents have named him, learns the truth of his alien birth on a voyage of discovery to the Arctic. It is there that he learns--through a link to his long-dead birth parents--of his superhuman abilities and his responsibility to preserve and protect "truth, justice and the American Way." Once he adjusts to life in the big city, Metropolis, he discovers that hiding his superpowers as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) isn't easy as he flirts with hard-nosed Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and battles supervillain Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman). The film's all-star cast includes Jackie Cooper, Marlon Brando, Ned Beatty, Glenn Ford, Terence Stamp, and Valerie Perrine, among others, all camping it up wonderfully.

Superman: The Movie Video Superman: The Movie Movie Review  the movie that started it all
superman the movie is simply the first major superhero movie that started it all. I remember seeing this movie back in 1978 and was totally in awe. I liked the fact that it started from the beginning. christopher reeve was a PERFECT choice. as was gene hackman. margot kidder was so so . a better actress would have helped. the action scenes were totally cool. the helicopter scene. and the reparing of the san andrea faultline were right on. the first two supermans are the best. parts 3 and 4 are ok but not great. the effects might look dated but remember its 1978 not 2005. as of this typing a new superman will be hitting theaters in 2006 called superman returns. It's been almost twenty years . i'm ready to beleive a man can fly again.

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE IT'S?...
I thought Superman with Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent was a good live action movie. Which it's based on DC (a.k.a.) Detective comics about the superhero Superman Metropolis in New York city. Where Clark Kent works for the Daily Planet newspaper Press company with Lois Lane played by Margot Kidder. Anyways Gene Hackman was quite good as evil villain Lex Luther. Oh yeah! by the way there are three different Superman adaptions like the fifties television series. The animated one and this movie right here.

Simply one of the best
The advertising campaign was built around the slogan, "You'll believe a man can fly..." Whether you do or not is irrelevant. This film is just great fun and the special effects still hold up pretty well against what's currently in movies.

$9.29 
A rougher version of George Roy Hill's pet theme of men as overaged adolescents, SLAP SHOT stars Paul Newman as Reggie Dunlop, the venerable player-coach of the Charlestown Chiefs, a fifth-rate minor league hockey team. When their blue-collar town falls prey to Rust Belt ills of the 1970s, attendance drops, and the greedy owner starts looking for a buyer, anxious to cash out. Dunlop is informed that the players need to crank up the box office to keep their jobs in what will likely be their last season. To the coach's dismay, general manager Joe McGrath (Strother Martin) imports the Hanson brothers, a hockey Three Stooges who like to assault soda machines and play with toys. But once Dunlop turns them loose, they're a Panzer division on ice, and the team starts winning by adopting their bone-crushing style. Although the team is on the upswing, Dunlop's wife, Francine (Jennifer Warren), seems to be through with him, and the isolated wives of the other players aren't much happier with their fate. This sidesplitting, profanity saturated film is one of the funniest ever made about any sport. While writer Nancy Dowd intended to probe darker issues--such as the greed of ownership, the blood lust of fans, and the childishness of the players--Hill submerges them in raucous laughter. Newman is near his peak as the romantic, manipulative, womanizing, hard-drinking coach, and the high-sticking Hanson brothers achieve comic immortality in their only film appearance.
