3‘ SPIDER-MAN’ (2002)

Maguire was 26 when he played high-school Peter, so thankfully he moves into college pretty quickly. But for the most part, his first outing as Spidey is a pretty successful one. Watching him fly through Manhattan is still rousing more than a decade later. His relationship with Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) spawned an iconic onscreen kiss, and Willem Dafoe is entertainingly hammy as the insanely over-the-top Green Goblin. Having the most fun, though, is J.K. Simmons as joyously cranky newsman J. Jonah Jameson.
