I was born in '82. As a kid, my aunt rented the Superman movie. She teach me how to rewind and play the movie. I watched the film a lot of times. Superman is my favorite superhero. Thanks Richard Donner, Christopher Reeve and all the crew for your work! All of you are amazing!
palekeleke that’s awesome. I was also born in 1997, since I saw this movie on 📀 as a 4-6 years old with documentary of this Superman movie.
I don't care what anyone says, Chris Reeve brought so much humor, grace, and dignity to the Superman/Clark character, no one else has come close. Thanks Warner Brothers.
oh wow, you dont care what anyone says, wow
@@chimchimcharoo56 True.
What's amazing is that, even after 40 years, the flying effects and flying Reeves performance still stand out as the best in film.
The BEST of all the Superman movies. Warmth, charm and a sense of humor. Brilliant casting and music score. Christopher Reece defined the role and those who followed were just pretenders. The special effects did not go overboard, concentrating on the story and character relationships. It is THE gold standard.

I love how Brando is just casually spinning the staff looking cool. That would literally be me while on set he looks like he’s just genuinely enjoying himself
I could have listened to Donner and Mankiewicz talk about Superman I & II all day.
I believe a big reason for the success of this film, that wasn't found by films before it, is the fact that everybody involved was a true fan of the source material so they all took what they were doing seriously to show the character and the source material the utmost respect.
R.I.P Margot kidder never forgotten xxx
The fact that a paralyzed Christopher Reeve was willing to talk about Superman spoke volumes about his courage. After 1995, part of him must have envied the Man Of Steel on the screen.
Margot Kidder will always be remembered as the best Lois Lane. R.I.P.
sportsmedia25 Another victim of the Superman Curse.
Don't forget, Christopher Reeve will always be the best Superman.
RIP Geoffrey Unsworth
RIP Marlon Brando
RIP Christopher Reeve
RIP Ned Beatty
RIP Jackie Cooper
RIP Glenn Ford
RIP Margot Kidder
RIP Mario Puzo
RIP David & Leslie Newman
RIP Phyllis Thaxter
RIP Susannah York
RIP Larry Hagman
RIP Tom Mankiewicz
RIP Richard Donner
Chris didn't overplay the part, that's why it worked.
tcrpgfan correct
John Ward well, maybe up until Superman IV, but that’s mostly the director’s fault.
Megatron2000 should have stopped after part 2
He knew how to play it, not just that he looked the part. RIP to a legend.
RIP Richard Donner 1930 - 2021
RIP Richard Donner
Because of you, we all believed a man can fly!
I'm glad Richard Donner was able to finish and release his version of Superman II.
deeks1970 he should’ve been able to do that in the first place
deeks1970 me too.
It wasn't really finished. It was more of an assembly cut made up of rough footage. Conceptually it showed Donner's vision, but it wasn't a complete movie, and the performances were better in the theatrical cut.
Me too. I wonder if they could digitally using CGI. Remove the scenes Lester shot , and finished all of it Donners way. Would have been something to see.
That skinny kid redefined Superman on the big screen, darn near erasing the previous actors of the part and completely dominating the actors who came after him. There is something beyond magical with the original Superman movie and there is something in Chris that no other Superman actor can duplicate. I enjoyed Henry Cavill as the new Supes but Chris will always hold the top spot for me.
I like both adaptions,s
Between Henry cavill & Christopher Reeve they played the man of steel but to me personally the late Christopher reeve was by far the better Superman.
The Reeve superman was the absolute paradigm of the character at the time, and has become an icon of hope. The Caville version had a muddled tone between anti-hero and hero. Not my kind of Superman.
Chris was also the better Clark Kent. His Clark was so dorky. Just perfect.
@@scottlowell493 I totally agree with you to me personally I never have & never will be a Henry cavill fan
@BeyondEnchantment I loved everything chris reeve has ever done because he had that wonderful touching graceful attitude about himself
@@scottlowell493 I like both oft them,
Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) an actor, humanitarian and a superman the man of steel, heroes and hope.
"I was the temporary custodian of the part"
No
He is Superman.
I hear what you're saying, but Reeve was right. The role IS bigger than he is--and that's what he meant. And it was that respect for the role that made him such a great Superman.
R.I.P. Richard Donnor.
This is so re-watchable. From back when making movie magic was a huge deal. Amazing.
Richard Donner NEVER should have been disrespected by the producers . Richard Donner's SUPERMAN is STILL the best comic book movie and most respectful to the comic book itself .
R.I.P Richard Donner
Henry Cavill, take a seat boy......Christopher Reeve is Superman!!
NYKgjl10 naw
Always will be.
jajajajaja totally
The Superman of all comic book films.
Damn... lol. why for a few minutes I felt like I was flying around with Superman watching this...
WE NEED A MODERN DONNER MASTERPIECE OF SUPERMAN. ALMOST TO PERFECTION AND POETIC.
AZMAH ATTACK I don’t think it would be made. Too much CGI and action sequences in comic book movies now
Why remake when you can rerelease?
We have"Man of Steele". Yes its a darker gritter adaption but a very well made movie,
@@210SAi Action scenes in a SUPERHERO movie about superheroes FIGHTING villains? Blasphemy!
Brandon Routh gets too little credit. He did a wonderful job in the role, but Christopher Reeve embodied the Man of Steel better than any actor before or since.
Still to this day! The best comic book movie 🍿 ever made! Still holds up after all these years!
RIP Richard Donner
Me too. Although Cavill is the first to fill the boots that didn't leave me thinking about Chris the entire movie. He wore it well enough that I could wait until the film was over before comparing his carriage of the part to Reeve's, but there is something so unassuming about Chris's smile and those perfect eyes that still give him the edge. His courage after the accident only made him more the spirit/essence of Supes to me, and that much harder to unseat as the true Blue.
Puzo, Donner, Reeve, Hackman, Williams, Brando, Unsworth, SUPERMAN! It’s insane, when you think about it... ❤️
Although christopher reeve was not the best actor around, its amazing how well he was in superman. Just perfect as superman, and played the character so well.
Casting hit a home run finding reeve to play that role, as i doubt anyone else could of done it so well.
Reeve in other roles, was not the best at acting, but when it came to superman, he just played it so well. It was like the perfect glove, ie reeves to play superman. Just a perfect fit.
Richard Donner *RIP* Christopher Reeves *RIP* Margot Kidder *RIP*
MK died?
@@lilacsunshine448 yes.
Marc McClure was not only in the Superman blockbusters, but Back to the Future as well.
It's insane to think that after the producer watched The Omen, that director would have been chosen to direct Superman. Doesn't seems logical but boy do these types of decisions work out..
And Now We Are Getting a New Superman...
REHIRE RICHARD DONNER!!
Ronald Vaughan I wish they didn't fire Donner. The Salkinds were crooks
Great work. RIP Mr. Donner
Again... thank you, Warner Bros., for uploading and sharing this
This documentary was awesome :) Thank you Warner Bros for uploading this ! I loved Superman The Movie & Superman II
I enjoyed all of the Superman movies. I thought he was the most amazing guy, and he was the handsome star in the world.
Thank you very much for the upload!
When I watched this film I was 13..and I was mezmorized by it. That theme tune is just great.
RIP Christopher Reeve you are missed!
And also actors Marlon Brando (2004), Susannah York (2012), Glenn Ford (2006), Phyllis Thaxter (2012), and co-writer Tom Mankiewicz (2011). Oh, and even though he had a small but important role, Larry Hagman, who died yesterday.
Mankiewicz wasn't a co-writer, he was a "creative consultant". *wink wink*
Since this original posting in 2012, we've also lost Margot Kidder and Jackie Cooper.
@@jmwild1 That was the credit he got, but he really was a writer.
@@sha11235 I guess you missed the "wink wink" at the end. It was a way to give him writing credit without being able to give him writing credit.
The best Superman movie of all times.
With Batman and Superman, it's not just about whether you can play Superman and Batman - it's about whether you can play Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne.
Superman is my idol and a role model. He is an ideal in my life and I want to become him.
"Hello, I'm Troy McClure."
Awesome Behind The Scenes Documentary About Superman The Movie. Thanks Mate. X
Definitely 1 ov thee films why u go to the cinema to capture the magic, others ie: jaws, star wars, raiders ect.
He thought the torch was passed on to him and he was a "temporary" custodian. Only if he knew that it was he who lit it in the first place, and still OWNS it.
0:43 Hopefully Next Year In 2023. Warner Bros Has Been Announced That The Classic 1978 Warner Bros Pictures Children's Live Action Superhero Science Fiction Fantasy Family Blockbuster Movie Of All Time SUPERMAN The Movie Is Celebrating It's 45th Anniversary As Part Of The Warner Bros Pictures's 100th Birthday Celebrations. Awesome. Thanks Mate. X
Thanks!
There can be only one and that person is Christopher reeve.A superman on and off the screen.
Rest in peace
Man this is a great docu!
Richard Donner said I did see him fly, I will see him walk again. Chris almost did! He started to get feeling back in his body just before he died.
THE BEST SUPERMAN/CLARK.....LOIS LANE, RIP
Hey, WB...a miniseries on the making of this movie would be a great idea, like what Paramount did The Offer series. Now, that would be something!
The quintessential Superman. Period.
Agreed
Donner done some great movies.
Special effects by this time, was pretty well done. Prefer it over todays idiotic cgi everything.
I wish they release that footage of them messing with other on set
11:21 Americana...with some Canadiana as well Dick. Joe Shuster, the dude who designed Superman’s look while Siegel wrote the origin, was from Toronto Ontario.
Shout out to Christopher Reeves And his wife beautiful people Chris was a phenomenal Superman Hands down!!RiP! Brother!🙂
I would like to see the original Mario Puzo script turned into one or more movies. CGI is good enough to recreate images of Christopher Reeve , Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and so on in a realistic looking fashion. Look at Rogue One A Star Wars story it is that good.
No. Fuck CGI and fuck remakes.
He was sitting on the toilet when he got the call, that's a riot! I think we can deduce what he was doing on there.
Larry Hagman is better known as JR Ewing on "Dallas" (both in the original version and in the recent reworking).
Shook the hand of Gene Hackman on the set of Narrow Margin in Vancouver

LOL
Excellent Comment!
Chris has epitomised this Part.
The real Superman

Wait, the Vito Corleone thing is Marlon Brando's actual voice??
⭐💜💐👏🙌
Christopher Reeve's best film, Street Smart.
Christoper Reeves IS Superman.
Toby Maguire IS Spider-Man.
Robert Downey Junior IS Ironman.
Chris Evans IS Captain America.
Tim Allen IS Buzz Lightyear.
I rest my case.
I agree,,, ill also say Ben Affleck is Batman,
@@lilacsunshine448 Ben Affleck should have been given a standalone Batman film.
3:40
Superman came from ubermensch by Nietze, well done Niietze. Ciao 4 Niw ;)
Margot Kidder when she was young is mmmmmm haha
Was Nick Nolte suppose to be in this picture 8:42
Yep, he never tested but his name was tossed around hence his name on the card!
JT Kirk For what role though ?
@@satyendrandonibanerjee8682 - Oddly enough, for Superman.
@@Lana2k6 Eww that would have been awful. Thank god for Christopher Reeve !
18:49 :'-(
18:59 (sad sigh) No, you won't.
SUPERGIRL
May the Lord's blessings go out to Christopher Reeves family may the light of the Lord shine on them in Jesus mighty name 🙏🙏💯💯🥳🥳
Why Mark Zuckerberg is Narrated Superman with wearing Michael Jordans Hat?!!
14:38
Henry Cavil spitting image lol
Guy Hamilton was too much to direct Superman. So they got Richard Donner to direct Superman.
Adding a love romance/story in a Superhero movie is so wrong, especially in Superman.. as a kid watching this Superman movie the first time i wanted to see more actions, not talking about love or romance and kissing lol.
Wasent it always kinda suggested that there was a thing going on with Lois and SM?
Christopher Reeve was, is and will ever be the one and only Superman. The rest are just background noise.
THe old Salkind look´s dracula !!! hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Why is a (what sounds like) 5-year-old narrating this?
I never understood the choice for Lois Lane. Her character wasnt sweet or the all American girl. She was selfish and inconsiderate and a social climber and was only nice to a few people, Superman and her boss. I dont see what Superman saw in her??
Omg.. You missed it entirely. Lois was NEW YORK!!
They flew around Lady Liberty. It’s NY.
@Hl A It's really NY.
She wasent that bad,
This documentary stinks! I have just watched two other "Superman the Movie" docs on UA-cam that are better then this pig show!
RIP Richard Donner
