Oct 18, 2023 · Richard Donner, director of Superman, The Goonies, The Omen, and Lethal Weapon, has died. Here are his 12 best movies ranked.
- The Goonies (1985) A rare generation-defining classic that has continued to define every generation since its release, The Goonies is Donner's greatest and most far-reaching film.
- Superman: The Movie (1978) 43 years later, it's still the best Superman movie out there. It seems hard to believe in our current superhero-obsessed cinematic climate, but before this film's release, nobody had the slightest idea how to realistically make Superman fly.
- The Omen (1976) The 1970s were a game-changing decade for the horror genre, and this is one of the undisputed classics. Damien is the gold standard for creepy demonic kids in movies, and it's all due to Harvey Stephens' downright chilling performance.
- Lethal Weapon (1987) Hands down one of the best action movies of the 1980s, Lethal Weapon totally revolutionized the buddy cop genre with the unlikely duo of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.
