Superman: The Movie (1978) (aka Superman)

In Richard Donner's comic-book superhero classic:

• the innovative 3-D-like effects in its film title sequence - the first film with a computer-generated title sequence; as the title sequence began, it zoomed and animated the words: "ALEXANDER SALKIND PRESENTS" and then continued with further zooms on the letters of the starring performers; the graphics also zoomed inward to present the famed S insignia for Superman
• the image of the "Man of Steel" comic book Superman hero / alias bespectacled Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) with red cape and tights soaring over Metropolis
• Superman's rescue of Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) as she fell from a helicopter and their conversation (Superman (politely): "Easy, miss. I've got you" Lois Lane (screaming): "You've got me? But who's got you?")
• their flight over the city with Lois in a blue chiffon evening gown to find out how fast he could fly while she recited the poem Can You Read My Mind
• the scene of Superman's flying chase next to an Army missile
• his saving resolution of various catastrophes when a Navy missile struck the San Andreas fault
• Superman flew over one of the massive earthquake's fault lines that had swallowed Lois Lane's car, and realized she was dead from suffocation under the ground; after pulling the car out of its burial location, he held Lois in his arms, kissed her, and then laid her on the ground; and gave an anguished primal scream howl-reaction to her death

Lois Lane's Death

• the scene of his angry flight into the air to attempt to change the past with light-speed circumnavigation of the globe - to reverse time in order to bring Lois back to life
