Recommend a frog a film?

I managed to get him to name the films he is thinking of. Hard work - usually he refuses to say so that I have less change to escape the surprise isn't ruined. He's brought out the phrase "You'll definitely like this one" and that is usually a cast iron guarantee of impending disaster. However ...

Batman Begins, The Dark Knight

... that's the films. Are they really likely to suit a frog who knows next to nothing about Batman, and who does not care for the concept of superheroes? Having survived all of his other superhero films I'm wary to say the least. Although I suppose I did like Batman: Arkham Asylum ... mostly because of the gameplay, the setting I could take or leave.

Can't go wrong with either, Batman begins is great, The Dark Knight is simply fantastic. Dark indeed, really memorable. The villains chill you to the bone

I can't guarantee you'll like them but I can vouch that they're worlds above the Fantastic 4 or X-Men movies. I enjoyed them a lot and I think my wife liked them better than I did, despite not reading comics as a kid like I did and having generally better taste than I do in movies.

It's probably too late now if he's already named the movies he's planning on watching but here are a couple I haven't yet noticed being posted (which isn't to say they haven't, only that my aging eyes probably missed them. ).

Lawrence of Arabia
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Taxi Driver
Spirited Away (Also, Howl's Moving Castle is almost worth it just to hear what Christian Bale sounds like happy, in addition to being a pretty good movie)
Haven't seen it but my wife swears by Roman Holiday

I also second Tora Tora Tora! and add to some of the previous posts that knowing Kill Bill is an homage and having a decent knowledge of the subject matter it references is not a guarantee you'll enjoy it. I didnt.
