As the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots prepare to face off in the 60th Super Bowl on Sunday, we decided to take a look at that very word. What else is “super” in pop culture? And not just in general. What exactly is called “super”? Below are our 15 favorite movies with the title “Super.”
15. super pump (2022)
We’re only keeping it at 15 because it’s not a movie. This is a TV show. But it’s a really cool TV show starring Uber founder Joseph Gordon-Levitt along with Kyle Chandler, Uma Thurman, and others, so we think it’s definitely great.
14. super friend (2013)
According to definition, air bud The franchise has no basis in reality. So the fact that Bud and his friends get a chance to become superheroes in this sequel makes all the sense in the world.
13. supervisor (1975)
Director Russ Meyer always knew what he was doing with his films, and this is the best example of that. supervisorA highly exploitative film of its time which featured all kinds of beautiful women with the word “Super” in their names. Why? More like “why not?”
12. Super (1991)
Not all “super” movies are about “super” people. The matter is of 1991 Super, In which Joe Pesci plays the role of a landlord who is forced to live in his own building. It’s pretty bad for Joe Pesci movies of the 1990s, but it’s still a Joe Pesci movie of the 1990s.

9. my super ex girlfriend (2006)
Uma Thurman plays a superhero abandoned by a normal man (Luke Wilson); She then terrorizes him in revenge. It’s not great, but it was directed by the great Ivan Reitman, who has a lot of fun mixing the superhero and romantic comedy genres.
8. super 8 (2011)
JJ Abrams’ Love Letter to Amblin and Steven Spielberg’s films don’t quite live up to those standards, but, when compared to some of the other films on this list, it’s definitely better than others. And how can you not put super 8 On the eighth?
7. supercop (1992)
One of the earliest Jackie Chan films to be widely released in the US, supercop (which is actually police story 3) is classic Jackie, with all the action, stunts and laughs you’d expect. It’s not one of his best, but highly entertaining.

For many people, this will obviously be the top choice of “super” movies. And don’t get us wrong, we love this hilarious police comedy created by and starring the Broken Lizard gang. It is timeless. But another super character is a little more timeless.
