Top 10 superhero films of all time




Our Spidey-sense is tingling! In honor of Spider-Man: Homecoming’s opening weekend at the box office, Us Weekly has rounded up the top 10 best superhero movies of all time. Comic book heroes have helped shape American pop culture for decades. From ruthless villains to costumed crime fighters, they’ll bring you right back to your childhood. Us is here to save the day with all of our favorite cape-wearing champions. Take a trip down memory lane – watch the trailers below!
In the mood for an old-school super hero? Go back with the O.G.s – Christopher Reeve as Superman (1978) and Michael Keaton as Batman (1989). Jack Nicholson played a mean Joker alongside Keaton, while the late Heath Ledger reprised the role alongside Christian Bale’s stoic (and ridiculously good looking) Batman in The Dark Knight (2008).
Stars As Superheroes
Need a family-friendly flick? Then Cowabunga, dude! They may not be your typical cape-wearing heroes, but Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) are still winners in our eyes.
While there are plenty of male heroes, we can’t leave out our favorite heroine. Goddess Gal Gadot played the title role in Wonder Woman, which is still in theaters.
That upside-down kiss, though. Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst as his love interest, Mary-Jane Watson, took on the original adaptation of Spider-Man (2002). Tom Holland takes over in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Check out US’ full list of recommendations below:
1. Superman (1978):
2. Batman (1989):
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990):
4. X-Men (2000):
5. Spider-Man (2002):
6. The Dark Knight (2008):
7. Iron Man (2008):
8. The Avengers (2012):
9. Deadpool (2016):
10. Wonder Woman (2017):

Are you over 100? Then you've got a better chance of living even longer!

It’s considered an inescapable fact of life: the older you get, the more likely death becomes. But a new research conucted in Germany disproves of that suggestinh that the chances of dying may level off – at least for those who make it to 105 years old. The study found that death rates, which rise exponentially in adulthood, begin to decelerate after 80 years old and appear to eventually plateau, or even decline slightly, after the age of 105. By that point, the chances of passing away in a given year are approximately 50-50. “It’s the equivalent of tossing a coin each year,” said Prof Jim Vaupel, a specialist in ageing at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany and one of the authors. The findings add fuel to an unusually hostile debate between two camps of scientists, who are locked in an escalating dispute about whether humans are approaching their upper limit in terms of lifespan. The latest paper, from Vaupel’s team who argue there is no evidence of a loom...

UPDATED: Swansea hire Carvalhal as boss until end of season

Premier League strugglers Swansea City appointed Carlos Carvalhal as their manager until the end of the season on Thursday. Carvalhal was sacked by second-tier Sheffield Wednesday on Christmas Eve, but Swansea surprisingly chose the Portuguese coach to replace Paul Clement, who lost his job on December 20 with the club languishing at the bottom of the Premier League. The Welsh club said Carvalhal’s contract included the option of an extension at the end of the season. “We felt we needed to get the managerial situation resolved as soon as possible and while the timing is not always perfect, we can look forward to the second half of the campaign with renewed optimism,” Swanseachairman Huw Jenkins said. To convince Swansea to keep him beyond this season, Carvalhal might have to save his new club from relegation. They sit five points from safety and bottom of the table with no wins in their last four matches after a 5-0 thrashing at Liverpool on Tuesday. Carvalhal is Swansea’s fifth...

Iranian police arrest 29 for involvement in hijab protests

Police in the Iranian capital, Tehran, have arrested 29 people for their involvement in protests against the country's compulsory headscarf law. Masih Alinejad, the Iranian activist behind the "White Wednesday" social media campaign against mandatory hijabs, who is now based in the US, told CNN that the movement has not been influenced from abroad. The wave of anti-goverment demonstrations last month was sparked by concerns over rising living costs and a stagnant economy, but also provided an opening for Iranian women to push for equal rights. In the past, women who allowed their hijab to slip could be admonished by the religious police, but these forces have been less prominent under the regime of President Hassan Rouhani. Soheila Jaloodarzadeh, a female member of the Iranian Parliament, said on Wednesday during an event on women's rights that the protests were the conclusion of years of restrictions, the semiofficial Ilna news agency reported.
