Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 is my personal favourite superhero film of all time.

A Simple Plan to me is one of the most criminaly underrated movies out there. How Billy Bob Thornton didn't win a supporting actor award is beyond me.

Man I love Sam Raimi. We desperately need more of his flavor and damn shame we had to wait almost a decade.. drag me to hell is one of my favorite movies of all time, I went in completely blind and I don’t think I’ve ever had a similar experience watching a movie where some parts genuinely scared me… and other parts make you laugh or go wtf am I watching lol

Great ranking 15. Crimewave 14. Oz: The Great and Powerful Here on up I like all these movies 13. For Love of the Game 12. The Gift 11. The Quick and the Dead 10. Darkman 9. Spider-Man 3 (100% agree with you, this movie has problems but I will never understand the amount of hate it gets) 8. Army of Darkness 7. Evil Dead 2 6. Dr Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness 5: The Evil Dead 4. Drag Me to Hell 3. Spider-Man 2. A Simple Plan 1. Spider-Man 2

A Simple Plan is one of the most overlooked gems of it’s time. Bill Paxton probably gave his best performance in that movie.

Yes I love Spider man 3. I never understood the hate either. Glad you loved it and put it at a great position on this ranking. Spiderman 3 is actually my favorite of the trilogy.

Top 5 #1. Spider Man 3 #2. Army of Darkness #3. Drag Me to Hell #4. Darkman #5. Evil Dead

Doctor strange 2 was definitely one of if not my favorite mcu film for how Sam Raimi directs the first mcu horror film so good and carnage filled. That movie and the Spider-Man trilogy I think are his best films.

The Evil Dead is my favorite horror film ever and Sam Raimi himself inspired me to pick up a camera and film in those BADASS camera angles.

15. Crimewave 14. For the Love of the Game 13. The Gift 12. Oz the Great and Powerful 11. The Quick and the Dead 10. Darkman 9. A Simple Plan 8. Army of Darkness 7. Spider-Man 3 6. The Evil Dead 5. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 4. Drag Me to Hell 3. Evil Dead 2 2. Spider-Man 1. Spider-Man 2

Just so glad to see Drag Me to Hell at a decent spot, I saw this at the cinema in a crowd of people who just seemed to be completely engaged from start to finish; such an amazing experience that's cemented itself as a favourite of mine. Cannot have Halloween season without watching this. By the way I actually appreciate your take on the original Evil Dead because I felt the same. First watch I thought it was okay but in recent years my love for it has grown exponentially, by far my favourite of the ED franchise. As a note I'm not sure it's a nostalgia thing just might have been where your head was at, at the time because I saw Darkman just a few years ago for the first time ever myself and absolutely adored it. Ranks highly for me on the Raimi scale. Nice list Cody 👌

Fun Fact A simple plan was on Roger Eberts top 10 best movies list for 1998

Spider man 3 is underrated and the editor cut is great and fixes a lot of the issues in the theatrical cut. It’s my second favorite of the raimi Spider-Man trilogy

I haven’t seen all of his movies, but my ranking of his movies from what I’ve seen are: 1. Spider-Man 2 2. Evil Dead II 3. Spider-Man 4. The Evil Dead 5. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 6. Army of Darkness 7. Spider-Man 3 I really liked them all, and I loved Multiverse of Madness!

I love all three Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies

So glad someone else loves "A Simple Plan". It's a great film. Brilliantly acted by Billy Bob Thornton. Would highly recommend this film to anyone. Unsung classic.

Holy shit he did The Quick and the Dead!? One of those movies in your dad’s VHS collection types I saw all the time as a kid. No wonder Superman hated him, I loved Gene Hackman as a bad guy.

Great to see some love for a simple plan, so underrated

The first Sam Raimi Movie that I watched was Spider Man 2002 which was my first M Rated Movie

Thank you so much for picking Spider-Man 2 as your number one pick! It’s my favourite film!

My favorite movie from him has to be Darkman. That was a brilliant extremely underrated movie.

Solid list - glad you threw A Simple Plan some love. Even *I* forget how much I like that one.

1.Spiderman 2-The train scene. Nuff said. 2.Spiderman-One of the best origin movies ever. Heartwarming and amusing in the best ways and really the template for the MCU as it sits. 3Army of Darkness-Goofy as all gets out, fast moving and gooey as all gets out. 4.Evil Dead II-I like the remake but with money aspect, the most memorable of the franchise and Ash at his best. 5.Army of Darkness-Goofy as all gets out, fast moving and gooey as all gets out. 6. Evil Dead-A memorable indie horror flick with a great set of concepts and Campbells star turn for the ages that ascetically can't help but feel as cheap and disposable as the Jason movies. Not the most memorable of the bunch but still really good. 7.Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness-A terrifically stylistic horror blockbuster with a game cast, some real personality and a refreshingly straight forward story that still feel weighty and complex. 8.Oz. The Great and Powerful- I have a soft spot for this one. Its fun, easy to watch and has a really good cast. Always liked this one. 9.Darkman-A solidly fun horror throwback with a good cast and a great precursor to Raimi's eventual Spiderman movies, like Cody said, good but not great. Can't wait for the sequel. 10.The Gift-A really cool surprise. Love the cast, good atmosphere and this is up there with A Scanner Darkly for Keanu's best work. Not great but underrated. 11.Spiderman 3-I kind of agree with Cody on this one. A lot of the magic is still here but it's a little overloaded and unwieldy. Still as watchable as the other two even though it's a mess. 12.Crimewave-A good precursor to Raimi's style in Evil Dead and the rest but uneven,cheap and kinda dull.

Great list Cody !!! SAME HERE Spiderman 2 was the biggest summer blockbuster when I graduated Highschool back in 2004...Fun times !!

I always enjoy your rankings because our opinions are usually quite different, and I love hearing why you like things that didn't quite work for me. That said, I was thrilled to hear how much you love A Simple Plan, which has always been a favorite of mine. Great list as always!

Evil Dead 2 - In my top 5 favorite movies. I have rewatched this so many times in my life since my buddy in high school introduced me to the Evil Dead Spider-Man 2 - Perfect superhero sequel Quick and the Dead - I love westerns and this is one of my favorites. An amazing cast and I love how he shot it. I can rewatch hackman's speech any time and get chills Evil Dead - One of my friends in high school was a huge Evil Dead fan and lent me all 3 on VHS and I've been hooked ever since A Simple Plan - Fantastic movie. This, Frailty, Near Dark and Aliens are my go-to Bill Paxton movies Spider-Man - Not my favorite version of Spider-Man but it was groundbreaking. Not a huge Toby fan, but he does well Multiverse of Madness - Need to rewatch it, but I walked out of the theater happy for sure. I love how Scarlet Witch has grown as a character throughout the series Army of Darkness - 4th of the Evil Dead movies when I rank them, but still a blast to watch. So quotable Drag Me to Hell - I love this one. After years away from the Evil Dead style of movies he killed it here The Gift - Underrated. I've always liked this one and what a cast Darkman - This has slid down the list since I first saw it. It is kind of goofy, but I still love it. Crimewave - Haven't seen this since high school. I do want to watch it again to see if I'd appreciate it more Spider-Man 3 - never been a fan. It's not one of the worst comic movies, but it was very underwhelming. J Jonah is the best part of the movie Never seen Oz Love of the Game

Darkman is a super underrated Raimi film, while not perfect, it has some trippy visuals

My top 5 favorite movies ever made are A Nightmare on elm street Evil dead 2 Ghostbusters Batman Beetlejuice

list of sam raimi movies i saw (i only saw 5) 6. army of darkness (still really great) 5. spider man 2 (apologies but still really great) 4. spiderman (excellent) 3. evil dead (interestingly gory) 2. spiderman 3 (such a great comedy) 1. evil dead 2 (jeez this is amazing)

I always look forward to these list of movies from the director filmographies… awesome top 10 Cody 🤟🤟

I agree with you about spider man 3. It was the first Spider-Man I ever watched so maybe some nostalgia but even when I rewatch It I still love it. My top 5 favorite Sam raimi films: 1. Spider man 2 2. Evil dead 2 3. Spider man 4. Army of darkness 5. Doctor strange 2

Army of Darkness is number one for me, I watched the hell out of it as a kid and teenager. I actually had no idea it was part of a trilogy. But man it’s my favorite. Close second is original Spiderman. Awesome list as always!

My top 10 Sam Raimi movie's 1- Evil Dead 2- Evil Dead 2 3- Spiderman 2 4- Army of darkness 5- Spiderman 6- Drag me to Hell 7- Simple plan 8- Dr Strange 2 9- The Gift 10- Dark man

A Simple Plan is like a darker Fargo. A neo noir that is as sad as it is tense. Happy to see it in the top three.

Ones I’ve seen: 1. Spider-Man 2 (2004) (probably one of the best comic book films of all time, arguably by some, the best. Great script, great hero and great Villain. 2. Spider-Man (2002) (changed the comic book genre in a great way) 3. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) (I love the MCU and Raimi brought in horror elements while still going with the formula. But it’s still a slight risk. And a lot of fun) 4. Spider-Man 3 (2007) (this movie doesn’t completely work, but it works better than it doesn’t. The themes are wonderful even if forced. It’s a movie that gets better over time for me.) 5. Darkman (1990) love the campiness of this super-hero revenge tale. And Liam Neeson was great in this. 6. The Quick and the Dead (1995) a fun little escapist western that doesn’t hold up for me. 7. Drag me to Hell (2009) been a long time since I’ve watched it, but it’s always had an interesting premise. 8. Oz…the great and powerful (2013)--just unmemorable for me. I don’t hate the Wizard of Oz, but it’s something I’ve appreciated it. This movie doesn’t hurt it, but doesn’t honor it either. Haven’t seen any of the others on his filmography. :( I know of the Evil dead movies, I just haven’t seen them all the way through. I need to lol

Sam Raimi is my 11th favorite movie director ever (behind Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson, Wes Anderson, Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas, Michael Bay and Chris Columbus)

Great video, one of my favorite directors

Great video, there are a few movies that I didn’t realize that Sam raimi directed. I believe that darkman kind of ended the friendship between bill Paxton and Liam neesone . Bill Paxton auditioned for darkman, he told his friend Liam neeson about it, Liam went to audition and got the part. I heard that bill and Liam was not on speaking terms either since then or for awhile. Anyway, keep up the great work.

Apparently the Editor's Cut of Spiderman 3 is suppose to be the better version. I have it, but I'm saving it to watch next time I watch the trilogy. I also enjoy #3. I like it the same way I like Return of the Jedi. There exist a fan cut of all three Evil Dead movies spliced together without the recaps. I've seen it and it's interesting

This man helped create one of my favorite film trilogies, the Toby Maguire Spider-Man trilogy.

I always recommend to people, Sam Raimi’s THE GIFT. It’s such a great movie.

Awesome video! I honestly haven't seen all of Sam Raimi's films, but the Spider-Man films were the most well remembered for me.

Enjoyed this! My Top 5 Super-Hero films are Superman:The Movie, Iron Man, Spider-Man 2, Captain America: Winter Soldier and Avengers: Infinity War

Another great video and list! Out there in the multiverse, there’s a Ghost Rider movie directed by Sam Raimi and I wish I could see it. Hope somehow if Sam doesn’t go back to Horror we can get him to do something else ‘supernatural’ in the MCU

My top five favorite Sam Ramini films are Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Dr. Strange the Multiverse of Madness. This was a good ranking video Cody. Keep up the great content.

Awesome, Cody!!!

Cody, I’m a lifelong Raimi fan and your rankings are spot on. I appreciate the context on wack movie and I completely agree.

Great ranking video.

A simple plan was an amazing piece of filmmaking and in my opinion it is very underrated

Cody when you talked about going to see Spider-Man in 02 and also getting a PS2 and playing MGS2 it really took me back! I’m 36 so I fondly remember that period of the time in high school

Oh man I didn’t expect your number one is Spidey 2!❤️ dude still as I’m growing up and rewatch that movie it hits even more 🕸🥲

I have the book of the Quick and the Dead... I honestly had no idea there was a movie adaptation, let alone directed by Sam Raimi. Ya learn something new every day I guess lol

i liked this video. u are really entertaining

Of the ones I've seen I'd say Spider-Man 2 is my personal favorite; It's one of the small amount of Marvel movies I really enjoyed and didn't have too many flaws that bug me along with, The other two Raimi Spider-Man movies, Iron Man, most of the Fox X-Men Franchise, Both of the Deadpool movies, Spider-Verse, & The Guardians of the Galaxy Movies.

My list is unpopular but it goes 8.Dmth 7.Multiverse of madness 6.Evil dead 2 5.Spiderman 2 4.Spiderman 3.The evil dead 2.Spiderman 3 1. Army of darkness

Awesome list Cody! I haven't watched any of the movies under 10 so glad I am not missing much there. My ranking for what I've seen would be this. 7) Army of Darkness 6) Spiderman 3 5) Drag Me to Hell 4) Spiderman 2 3) Spiderman 2) Evil Dead 2 1) The Evil Dead

11:40 I love Spider-Man 3 as well I've always loved the heart of these films

I was going to say that Drag Me to He'll is my favorite Raimi, but I completely forgot about A Simple Plan! What a stellar movie. Wish he did a few more like it. Unfortunately, the Spidey-flicks just don't hold up as well to me now because of the camp. I still recognize 2 for the masterpiece it is, but Dunst really takes me out of it. I still credit her best performance as Interview with the Vampire. But, that's just where my taste is now versus where it used to be. To be fair, though, Army of Darkness is still the only Evil Dead film I've seen and I've been meaning to correct that for years.

The fact that Cody just did a Tango and Cash reference is enough for this video to get a like!

Love Spider-Man 1 & 2 and The Evil Dead, enjoyed Doctor Strange 2 despite its flaws, and A Simple Plan is an awesome thriller that feels like a true Coen Brothers/Raimi collaboration, more than the actual collaboration in Crimewave. Also Darkman is so damn fun. Adore Sam Raimi, hope he keeps it going!

Wow Evil Dead II at that spot? There are no words

I subbed just because the intro riff was nasty

great ranking

I fucking love your channel. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Dude as a horror fan, Doctor strange 2 is my new favorite mcu movie. They got away with so much, and there's so much dread prominent the whole way of the movie. The cloak of the dead at the end was so metal!

I have legit never heard of A Simple Plan, but I will watch it now.

My Sam Raimi movie ranking(not have seen every film by him) 1. The Evil Dead(1981) 2. Evil Dead 2 3. Spider-Man 4. Army Of Darkness 5. Drag Me To Hell 6. Spider-Man 2 7. Spider-Man 3 8. Oz The Great and Powerful

Pretty good ranking, I will say this I feel like we have a lot in common when it comes to movies ( which is why your in my top 3 KZfaqrs) but I might be in the minority by saying I felt like this new Dr. Strange movie messed up with the trailers by showing us what we already knew leaving me with kinda an empty feeling at the end. I appreciated it for everything that it is and was but I felt a short coming with this one. That’s me being a big Sam Raimi fan. F the cameos too, I’m talking about Easter eggs and post credit scenes. I walked out like ehhh at least we got some evil dead sauce in there lol

1. Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man 2 3. Spider-Man 3 4. The quick and the dead 5. A simple plan 6. Evil dead 2 7. Evil dead 8. Army of darkness 9. Oz the great and powerful 10. For love of the game 11. The gift 12. Darkman 13. Doctor strange and the multiverse of madness 14. Drag me down to hell 15. Crimewave I think all these are pretty much good to great films except crime wave because it’s just too cheap but nothing beats his Spider-Man films to me. Honestly I find myself watching quick and the dead probably the most out of all these. Sam has a way of taking the most genetic scripts/plot and turning them into something special that hits you in the feels.

I have a soft spot for Spiderman 3 as well, definitely flawed but it was the one in the trilogy I watched the most as a kid and great ranking Cody!

I’ve seen Within the Woods (his Evil Dead precursor), it’s on KZfaq. But it’s a short movie (about 30 mins), so to include it in this list would not really make sense, since it’s not a proper movie like the others. My personal Raimi favorites are Evil Dead 2 & Spider-Man 2. Awesome video, & I’ve been very curious to see this ranking.

Are you going to review the Evil Dead videogame on your gaming channel when it releases on Friday? Great video as always too!

The worst thing about ‘The Gift’ is Hilary Swank’s hair. That was the scariest thing in that film.

Great list! I don’t know why but I can never get into Drag Me to Hell. I wish I loved it. And completely agree with Evil Dead 2 and Spider-Man 3.

I think your right, I love Darkman and think you would have liked it more seeing it back in the day.

I hope I’m not the only one who has seen FOR LOVE OF THE GAME 😂

Please do your top 10 favorite comic book movies!

Can you rank Michael Mann movies some day? The guy has done some of my favourite movies of all time.

Top 5 5. Drag me to hell 4. Evil dead 3. Evil dead 2 2. Spiderman 1. Spiderman 2

Good review! Do you plan to get the Evil Dead game coming out this week?

My list: 1. Spider-man 2 2. Evil Dead 2 3. The Evil Dead 4. Spider-man 5. Spider-man 3 6. A Simple Plan 7. Drag Me to Hell 8. Army of Darkness 9. The Quick and the dead 10. Darkman Not seen the others yet. I respect your opinion but IMO Evil Dead 2 is one of the greatest horror comedies ever made and is just pure Sam Raimi genius.

Love this guy and love this list. Haven't seen Crimewave, gotta catch that soon but as for what I have seen I go: 1. The Evil Dead 2. Evil Dead II 3. Army of Darkness 4. Spidey 5. Spidey 2 6. For Love of the Game (I love romance & baseball) 7. Spidey 3 8. A Simple Plan 9. Drag Me to Hell 10. Quick and the Dead 11. Doc Strange 2 (this was still really good) 12. The Gift (I always remember it for Harold and Kumar too) 13. Darkman 14. Oz

To this day,the original Spider-man trilogy is still(and probably always will be)my all time favorite franchise. The first 2 are classics and while part 3 is flawed,it is still a damn good movie with great action,themes and heartfelt emotion. I will fight all day to defend this film. I am disappointed that Venom was wasted,but I LOVE the film. Always have,always will.

I want Sam Raimi does another Doctor Strange movie especially if he wants to I want more of Sam Raimis style in the Marvel movies I hope Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire do another Spider-Man movie

Spider-Man 3 was actually pretty solid. It was the least of the Raimi Spider-Man movies, but still a super fun movie

I've always really enjoyed The Gift (Giovanni Ribsi and Hilary Swank also in that star studded cast). Obviously your not too fond of it lol but would you consider doing a review for it down the line?

Very good list and I enjoy darkman

My ranking 1. Spider man 2002 2. Evil dead 3. Oz the great and powerful 4. Drag me to hell 5. Evil dead 2 6. Army of darkness 7. Spider man 2 8. Spider man 3

my ranking of raimi's films would go as follows: 10. spiderman 3 (tolerable, But worst perfomance by the guy who plays venom) 9. oz the great and Powerful 8. a simple plan 7. crimewave 6.spider man 2 5.spider man 4. army of darkness (this is the Only Evil dead installment that i tolerate cause of the comedy, the Other two i ignore) 3.for the love of the game (this is a interesting film, i think costner does a good job in the film) 2. the quick and the dead (this is a fun western, raimi does a terrific job creating a western that people like, that has a great cast) 1. Darkman (this is a action film that people like, i myself like neeson's movies, i dont mind the fact that people love to quote him for humor, the fact that people love to revisit this film is probably because he now has a action movie persona in movies such as taken and now Blacklight, But neeson is in other types of movies too)

Great ranking Cody. My ranking from my favorite to my least favorite of the films I've seen are 1. A Simple Plan ( Masterpiece ) 2. Spider Man ( Amazing ) 3. Spider Man 2 ( Amazing ) 4. Evil Dead 2 ( Amazing ) 5. Army Of Darkness ( Amazing ) 6. Darkman ( Great ) 7. Drag Me To Hell ( Good ) 8. The Evil Dead ( Good ) 9. The Gift ( Solid ) 10. Spider Man 3 ( Meh ) 11. The Quick And The Dead ( Meh ) I still need to watch Crimewave, For Love Of The Game, Oz the Great and Powerful and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

I cannot rank the Sam Raimi films since I havent seen 3 of them including Army of Darkness. But I completely love the Raimi Spider Man trilogy even number 3. I think it is the best we have ever seen this character to this day. Also A simple plan is really fantastic and I think Drag Me to Hell is highly underrated. Thanks for the ranking Cody. Take care.

A Simple Plan is one of my favorite films. Saw it in the theaters. Was blown away. I encourage everyone to check it out. So good!

Since Doctor Strange 2 came out, I've decided to get into Sam Raimi, only previously knowing him for the Spider-Man trilogy (which I've watched... a lot). I have now seen the evil dead films as well as being half way done the TV show. I'm obsessed with evil dead now, and am in love with Bruce Campbell whom I didn't even really know about just one week ago. Evil Dead is truly special

I’ve been wondering if people would do this

I was curious on if Crimewave would be on this list, I never heard of it, until I saw a KZfaq video about it, and have it on my Prime Watchlist, it's free from IMDb, but not watched it yet. And sure enough, you did add it. Also, we both agree, Spider-Man was great, but the 2nd one was even better. Anyways, thank you, Cody.

Of course everyone loves Spider-Man even the 3rd movie is still at least good imo but Darkman is actually the first movie I could remember watching. I don't know how it holds up in 2022 but in Halloween 2004, when I was four, I tried emulating Westlake, I went trick or treating with a white pair of underwear on my head with some kinda top hat and a black leather coat with a suitcase as a candy holder. As a 22-year old, it's still one of my favorite movies as a child that I'm looking forward to rewatching again. Thanks for the awesome list Cody!

My ranking: 15. For Love of the Game 14. Crimewave 13. The Gift 12. A Simple Plan 11. Darkman 10. The Quick and the Dead 9. Oz the Great and Powerful 8. The Evil Dead 7. Spider-Man 3 6. Drag Me to Hell 5. Evil Dead 2 4. Spider-Man 3. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2. Army of Darkness 1. Spider-Man 2

I have to agree with ya Cody, the original Evil Dead is my favorite film in the entire franchise (with AOD at a VERY close second). I love all the Evil Dead films, but the original has this perfect balance between creepiness and charm that the second one struggles to emulate, let alone top. Sam Raimi's determination and talent really inspires me to someday make my own lil horror film

I definitely think you saw Darkman too late. I've had that issue with a lot of classic films.
