content: I caught this on TV today and couldn't stop watching it. I hadn't seen it for years, but quickly remembered why it has been a favorite movie of mine since I was seven. Obviously this film means alot to many people, as it still gets reviews weekly. As a child, this movie got my imagination going as much as "Star Wars" did. Everything worked here. The story, humor, the great music, and more than anything else, Christopher Reeve. That may be the casting job of the decade. I know we get a new "Superman" movie this year, but Reeve will be impossible to top. I'm also still impressed with the effects, despite the fact this is from 1978. I thought "Superman II" was nearly as great, though the other two were only so-so. With the success of this series, I'm suprised it took so long to make the "Spiderman" and even the "Batman" films, and though I'm a fan of most comic-to-screen films, I think "Superman" flies the highest.
