1 ‘SPIDER-MAN 2’ (2004)
Raimi’s second Spidey set the gold standard for superhero movies and still holds up. With the origin story out of the way, the sequel digs into the emotional stakes of doing the right thing: Peter becomes estranged from love Mary Jane and best friend Harry (Franco) and loses his powers because of a nervous breakdown. Alfred Molina melds Shakespearean tragedy with mechanized tentacles as the fabulous Doctor Octopus, and the scene with Spidey using super-strength, lots of webbing and pure grit to stop a speeding train is an all-timer.
