Solid list, lot of Batman(saw this stated earlier ;) )

I havent seen Into the Spider-Verse yet, and already saw that I completely forgot Mask of the Phantasm, though I'm not sure it would've cracked my top 10.

 

I might have t come back with a top 20.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is amazing for the story, humour and standout visuals. I did a top twenty again to match the original.

Accidentally put Batman Returns in twice.

You should really watch the Amicus Tales from the Crypt if you haven't yet. Great film. 

I completely forgot Cemetery Man/Dellamorte Dellamore was loosely based on a comic, Dylan Dog. Apparently they also made this movie and James Wan was gonna make a Dylan Dog series?

Dark Horse reprinted them in the 90s  in digests.

...and I was just reminded of another Italian comic that got a film made from it, Diabolik. It baffles me that I've never seen Danger: Diabolik. I mean it's frickin Mario Bava.

https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCNgB2ugPTG_ihYbzPa_bPcA/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=list

Control posted the link to the Don Gatley playlist and Danger:  Diabolik is one of the films.  I will probably watch it tonight during night duty.

The Manetti Bros. were supposed to start principle shooting of their Diabolik movie last December, but I assume it was postponed because 2020 sucked.

Dredd has displaced Blade II on my Top 20 list.
