Oh cool, so I'm assuming that means 'Split' and "Unbreakable' count? I was going to say that I don't think that I've seen five superhero movies, lol, but if those count, I guess I have. Oh wait, I've actually seen more than I thought: the Christopher Reeve Superman, Tim Burton's Batman, and one of Nolan's Batman movies, as well as two of the three Toby Maguire SpiderMans. Oh, and the Spider-verse film. Wow, I've seen more than five and have five I'd recommend. I'll come up with my list soon. Oh, and does 'V for Vendetta' count?

I also saw 'Joker' but I don't consider that a superhero movie and I'd only recommend the first one-third or one-half it it or all of Joaquin Phoenix's performance if there was a way to cut out everything around him after a certain point, lol.

Rubyfruit76,

Yes. Any superhero movie is eligible.

Hellboy, Sky High, Chronicle, The Incredibles, Unbreakable, Split, Mystery Men, The Crow, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Spawn, TMNT, are all superhero movies.

Edit: Yes, 'V for Vendetta' is also a superhero movie. It is based on DC comics. It's in my top 5 (#3).

I expected the Nolan trilogy to be in your top 5 (kinda predicted too).

Hi Brijesh,

"Avengers Assemble (2012)" is not a feature film. It's a TV series.

Please replace it with another superhero movie. Thank you.

I didn't even know there was a TV series by that name until I googled it.

My very subjective Top-5 from a current perspective:
1) Glass (2019)
2) Unbreakable (2000)
3) Donnie Darko (2001)
4) Split (2016)
5) Drive (2011) 

Honorable mentions: (5 is not enough for me in this particular genre, to be honest)
Scanners (1981) 
The Gladiator (1986) 
Highlander (1986) 
RoboCop (1987) 
Batman (1989) 
The Punisher (1989) 
Darkman (1990) 
Prizrak (1991) 
Lunatics: A Love Story (1991) 
Batman Returns (1992) 
The Shadow (1994) 
The Crow (1994) 
Batman Begins (2005) 
Hobo With a Shotgun (2011)
Joker (2019)

Movies, I haven't seen in entirety yet, but have a strong suspicion I'll love:
Akira (1988)
Nightbreed (1990)
Mystery Men (1999) (Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot comics are some of the best ever; movie only uses certain small portions, not even the main character, but since it's written by Burden himself, i'm trusting that core ideas are there)
Koroshiya 1 (2001) (aka Ichi the Killer; I love the original manga and Takashi Miike is one of my favorite directors)
Artik (2019)   

Musings:
-It feels a bit of a cheat to include whole Eastrail trilogy in the Top, but heck, it's the best superhero trilogy we have that was not based on pre-existing material and yet had that much respect and ground in the genre. All three movies tell the story of a superhero events in unexpected, uncharacteristic ways, closer to real life and therefore hitting all the more harder. 
-Joker (2019) is great and I love that a movie with these sensibilities and approach got greenlit and got impressively succesful, despite at the core still having questions and approaches from genre. But. It's a tad, a modicum less of a personal touch for me that Glass (2019) is. I've seen both of them twice in theaters, something I seldom did before 2019 and, when cinemas hopefully reopen normally, something I'd love to do with movies I loved enough the first time around. 
-I'm including Drive (2011) there because yes, it is confirmed by director Nicholas Winding Refn that this one is his take on that genre and formula. A great one, in my opinion, and having some of the best subtle touches here and there. I'm also including Donnie Darko (2001) which has another (less) subtle hint at the genre, suggesting that a) at the core of it is that amazing notion that if you pick random human being, that seems flawed in more ways than one and present this being with an option to change the world for better at cost of one's own happiness and recognition, you might be surprised and not always in a negative way; and b) in real life we will mistrust the figures like that and will consider them mentally ill until it is too late.

Nikolay Yeriomin,

Five is not enough for me either, I guess, but seeing how "Superhero" is a subgenre and most of the people are not into it even if they seem to love one or two, I decided to limit it to 5. Also because setting 10 will make most of our lists similar.

Hope you understand.

Missed this post - thanks to Bonafide Boss for pointing me here!

1. Avengers Endgame - I laughed, I cried, I saw it at midnight and then went again the next day.

2. Dark Knight Rises - I am very bored of the Joker, so I much prefer DKR to TDK. Also I love the "hero returns after retiring" trope.

3. Spider-Verse - my favourite part is Spider-Man Noir is obsessed with a Rubik's Cube.

4. Spider-Man Homecoming - Spidey is my favourite superhero and this is my favourite Spidey movie.

5. Winter Soldier - the template for the best MCU movies, Chris Evans *is* Steve Rogers and this movie is so so rewatchable.

Grayson,

You are one of the few IMDb staff members to directly interact with IMDb Poll authors and the Poll community as a whole. hb and Murray Chapman (the creators of the current IMDb software) are the last to actively do so. It's great to have your feedback.

We're all big movie nerds, and superhero movies are my "specialist subject" so I couldn't pass up an opportunity to chat about them!

Grayson,

I suspect you have been a regular at San Diego Comic Con, which would have been held this last weekend if it were not for COVID-19.

As you may have noticed, superhero polls are popular. In case you are interested here is a list of superhero polls:
DCEU
MCU
Superhero
