What movies would you say deliver good, Pulp-style fun?

Obviously, there's the Indiana Jones series.

Peter Jackson's King Kong.

Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow.

A little weak, but The Phantom & The Shadow do the job.

The first Star Wars movie is kinda Flash Gordon-ish. I guess that means you can add Flash Gordon.

Captain America: The First Avenger fits the bill.

What else?

At least the first Mummy film with Brendan Fraser.

Maybe the first Tim Burton Batman.

LA Confidential is more film noir than pulp-like.
