Top 10 Marvel & DC Movies Ranked in IMDb's Top 250


The world of superheroes has always fascinated audiences. Marvel and DC have defined blockbuster entertainment, offering thrilling stories, unforgettable characters, and powerful themes. Some of these films have transcended their genre, earning their places on IMDb's prestigious Top 250 movies list—a ranking that honors the very best of cinema. Let's explore all ten Marvel and DC movies that have achieved this distinction and why they deserve their spots on this prestigious list.


Logan (2017) Top 10 Marvel & DC Movies Ranked in IMDb's Top 250

10. Logan (2017) - IMDb Top 250 Position: 211


Directed by James Mangold, Logan marked the end of Hugh Jackman's iconic portrayal of Wolverine. Drawing inspiration from the "Old Man Logan" comic book storyline, Logan feels less like a superhero movie and more like a character-driven Western. The gritty tone, emotional depth, and stunning performances, especially by Jackman and Patrick Stewart, make it stand out in the crowded world of comic book films.


Logan isn’t just a superhero movie—it’s a meditation on aging, legacy, and the desire to protect those we love. Its unique approach and lack of flashy CGI prove that superhero films can be powerful narratives. It’s no wonder Logan earned its spot at number 211 on IMDb's Top 250.


Where to Watch: Available on Disney+.


Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Top 10 Marvel & DC Movies Ranked in IMDb's Top 250

9. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) - IMDb Top 250 Position: 176


Spider-Man: No Way Home brought audiences one of the most ambitious crossover events ever—featuring Tom Holland’s Spider-Man alongside past iterations played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Directed by Jon Watts, the film explores the concept of the multiverse, blending nostalgia with a compelling storyline full of humor, heartbreak, and redemption.


Critics praised the film's handling of nostalgia and the interplay between the three Spider-Men, each bringing their unique experiences and charm to the screen. With its clever use of multiverse elements and satisfying character arcs, it earned an impressive position at 176 on IMDb’s Top 250.


Where to Watch: Streaming options are currently unavailable.


Batman Begins (2005)  Top 10 Marvel & DC Movies Ranked in IMDb's Top 250

8. Batman Begins (2005) - IMDb Top 250 Position: 129


Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins reinvigorated the Batman franchise, offering a grounded and psychologically complex portrayal of the Dark Knight's origins. Christian Bale's portrayal of Bruce Wayne—a man haunted by the murder of his parents—laid the foundation for one of the greatest trilogies in modern cinema.


The film's depth, attention to character development, and exploration of fear—both Batman's and his enemies—set it apart from earlier superhero movies. Batman Begins was a turning point, not only for Batman but also for superhero cinema as a whole, redefining what the genre could achieve.


Where to Watch: Available on Peacock and Max.


Joker (2019) Top 10 Marvel & DC Movies Ranked in IMDb's Top 250

7. Joker (2019) - IMDb Top 250 Position: 83


Todd Phillips’ Joker is unlike any other comic book movie. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, who won an Oscar for his transformative performance, the film takes a dark and unsettling look at the origins of Batman's most infamous adversary. With its gritty narrative and social commentary on mental illness and societal neglect, Joker pushed the boundaries of what a comic book movie could be.


Phoenix's portrayal of Arthur Fleck is haunting and sympathetic, highlighting the fine line between a tragic character study and a chilling villain origin story. Joker is a film that doesn’t shy away from tough topics, and its place at number 83 on IMDb’s Top 250 is a testament to its power.


Where to Watch: Available on Netflix and Max.
