My Future Husband and his roommate at USC, and I saw this epic movie 🎬 at Grumans Chinese Theater , what an experience,. The cast was brilliant,Christopher, Margo, Marlon, Gene, et al, Script, production values and Richard Donner's masterful directing, one of my top ten movies forever ❤

[@lemorab1]

That's Grauman's Chinese Theater. I grew up going there in the 1950's. I first saw Superman on the TV screen with George Reeves and Noel Neill in the early 1950's. Chris Reeve and Margot Kidder will always be Superman and Lois Lane, to me. I saw this movie in 1978 at another classic old cinema, the Grand Lake in Oakland, CA. The scene where Superman first reveals himself to earthlings and saves Lois from the helicopter fiasco is one of my favorite scenes in a movie, ever. We were all thrilled and clapped. Many of us in the audience that night grew up watching the TV show and at that moment, we knew the Superman story was cast perfectly and was in good hands.

[@ynothump2566]

The helicopter scene with Lois in Superman The Movie is still one of THE best scenes in modern cinema. Saw it when I was ten years old with my mom and dad at the Gaumont Cinema in Birmingham, England UK during opening week.... pestered them none stop until they gave in lol.... What a classic few years of cinema in the late 70s... Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Alien, Superman The Movie ❤

The thing that shows just how great Reeve was in the role was that perfect transition he pulled off from naive Clark Kent to Superman and it was all in the facial expressions when Clark is about to change.

[@michaelreilly7106]

I think Reeve is the only actor to really nail the character of Superman and Clark Kent. All the other actors look like Superman wearing glasses. And he’s the only Superman to have an epic score by John Williams (which has yet to be topped).

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

[@petehenderson668]

The most genius part of about the Reeve films is how John Williams just created that build up. He'd come out as Clark Kent, he would see the danger and as soon as we hear those first low notes start we start to get unglued, it tells us that we are about to see the other guy, and then as it gets closer and closer the music gets higher and faster until finally as soon as the shirt rips we hear the actual theme and it just makes you wanna jump off your chair and clap every time you see it and hear it. That is the genius of John Williams himself he did the same thing with Jaws, the build up would make you lean closer and closer to the screen and it just gives you goosebumps during that build up. For Jaws it starts of really slow and as he gets closer and closer and it lets you know what is coming. The music speeds up and gets louder and finally the full rhythm plays as he attacks. As soon as that low bass tone starts you know you're about to see Superman, you know the shark is about to attack. This was back when the composers really cared about creating the suspense, the excitement, something that I feel most films really lack today, and I don't think there will ever again be something even close to what Williams has created. They will and can certainly try to, but I personally just don't think it's possible.

[@youtubeistryingtocensorme]

He did it with star wars as well

[@NitavTrueDreams22]

You are right about this, the score completes the movie, keeps you engaged! Thank you! ❤💙🤎🙏🏽

[@scatpack01]

[@kingsman8475]

I have to give credit to the episode- the "Doomsday Machine" from Star Trek. This music score by Sol Kaplan was the beginning of the " Jaws Theme." Star Trek! Jaws started with you. The Enterprise was not being hunted by a shark, but a massive alien planet eater. The Doomdsay Machine was virtuall unstoppable mechanical whale and it took 2 Starships to defeat the mechanical monster. The best musical themes come from Star Trek

For those that don’t know, 00:22 is an homage to the old tv series and comic books. CK (my homage to Lois and Clark;) used to change into Superman in the phone booths. But by the late ‘70s phone booths had already been reduced to these little boxes. A tribute and little joke at the same time. Classic.

[@choward874]

Omg there has been a lot of movies made over the years,but this movie combined with the orchestra to back it up is the very best!

[@patrickhandlovsky7665]

That scene in Superman II when Reeve changes in the back alley is fucking iconic and right out of the comics - just how he changes from Clark Kent to Superman is so, so convincing!! I remember watching this in the theater as a kid and I got goose bumps - still do watching that scene. Reeve was Superman - I'm honestly convinced of it - it's like the comic book coming right onto the big screen. No one since has really been able to re-create what Reeve/Donner did with Superman - there have been some good actors since, but Reeve set the bar soooo high that he really to me was the ultimate Superman.

[@cherylcroslen5177]

The first super man George Reeves and Christopher Reeves is George Reeves son. Like father like son

[@erickvelez7576]

Christopher Revee as master of for All The superman ok

[@BingGeaux]

it was Chris who gave the flight to Superman. Even George had a "bad" flight as the Kryptonian. The dorky hop out of a window was no more when Christopher took the suit. He could fly. He was as graceful in the sky as an experienced diver is in the ocean. He would bank, and turn, and dip like a glider or airplane. A thrust of his fists and it was apparent he could hurl himself faster at will. He flew, and I believed he flew. Christopher had the persona of Superman, even after the tragic horse accident that grounded him. I was pissed at the medical industry for not giving him the best of mechanical legs or a jet pack. Or both. Your naming of him as the ultimate Superman is seconded, by me.

[@imapaine-diaz4451]

One would have to ask your grandparents (or great-grandparents) what the phonebooth schtick is all about. FYI in the thirties, when superman was first written , phonebooths were all made of wood paneling with folding doors with just a small window in the doors. You could certainly have enough privacy to change clothes and many servicemen did just that. They did more than that though since they were going off to war and their sweethearts were there also seeing them off. Eventually they had to take all the doors off, and the phone booth just evolved into less and less until it disappeared al together.

[@mogdor]

All they really need to do is make an updated version of this Superman and it'll make everyone happy. Goofy Clark, shirt rip, John Williams theme. It's not hard.
