Man of steel on TV Land

Of all the Superman films to date, 1980's Superman II (10 p.m. on TV Land, repeats at 12:30 a.m.) stands out as the best. It's got a strong, charismatic performance from Christopher Reeve (who never got his due as an actor in this role). It's got wonderful villains in both Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor (who was so good that Kevin Spacey was left with nothing to do but imitate him in 2006's Superman Returns) and Terence Stamp's General Zod. It's got a touching storyline (Superman reveals his secret identity to Lois) that proved the filmmakers didn't have to practice absolute fealty to the Superman mythology. And it's got two wonderfully engaging directors working on it - the credited Richard Lester and the uncredited Richard Donner, who was fired after having finished much of the film while simultaneously shooting the first Superman two years earlier.
