I had no idea that some of those were based on graphic novels.

I may be able to do a Top 10 after all.

In approximate order, these are my favourite films based on comic books and graphic novels:

1. A History of Violence
2. Ghost World
3. 30 Days of Night
4. Oldboy
5. American Splendor
6. Road to Perdition
7. Flash Gordon
8. Danger: Diabolik
9. Snowpiercer
10. Barbarella

I think I'll work on a 'superhero' list based on the Marvel/DC type of 'traditional' comic book films in a bit.
