Superman(1978)

This morning I watched Superman for the first time on DVD, an extra 6 minutes I think? This is easily the best superhero movie. The extra scenes were hit or miss. There was Lois Lane on a train as a little girl, having a Clark Kent Sighting, with him as a teenager. This seems far fetched to me, as it seems as adults, they're about the same age. There was a touching scene between Superman and his long dead father Jor-El, where Superman tries to reach out to embrace him, also Jor-El instructs him never to reveal his secret identity. This is notable as a 70's movie with no sex and minimal, if any violence, proving filmmakers don't have to resort to this. Yes, the John Williams music is spectacular. There is a music only version on the DVD I haven't watched yet.
