"You'll believe a man can fly!"

1978 classic, at one time the most expensive movie of its kind ever produced, with a then-pretty-much-unknown young Christopher Reeve perfectly cast as Clark Kent/Superman, alongside a stellar cast than includes both Gene Hackman (as Lex Luthor) and Marlon Brando as Jor-El (with the stories about him not giving two figs and reading his lines off cue cards now legendary), and with Margot Kidder also a Lois for the ages.

There's a reason why this is oft considered the gold-standard for superhero origin stories!

Dracula Getting With The Times

Dracula A.D. 1972- is the seventh Hammer film featuring Dracula, and the sixth to star Christopher Lee in the title role. It also marked the return of Peter Cushing as Van Helsing for the first time since The Brides of Dracula (1960), and was the first to feature both Lee and Cushing in their respective roles since Dracula (1958).

Unlike earlier films in Hammer's Dracula series, Dracula A.D. 1972 had (at the time of filming) a contemporary setting, in an attempt to update the Dracula story for modern audiences. Dracula is brought back to life in modern London and preys on a group of young partygoers that includes the descendant of his nemesis, Van Helsing.

The plot: Van Helsing despatches Dracula to his grave, only for the dark lord to be reborn in 1972. When the swinging trendies of London decide to experiment with a little devil-worshipping, the Count decides to move to his own bloody groove.

It was followed by the last film in Hammer's Dracula series to star Christopher Lee, The Satanic Rites of Dracula, which similarly utilized a modern setting and featured most of the same central characters.

Dracula A.D. 1972 was marketed with the taglines "Past, present or future, never count out the Count!" and "Welcome back, Drac!"

Its a good film.
