#26: The Dark Knight



The Dark Knight: Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.

This is my favorite movie of the year thus far and probably my favorite comic book movie ever. It totally lives up to the hype and Heath Ledger indeed gives the performance of a lifetime. From the moment he appears onscreen as The Joker you are absolutely drawn into his performance and cannot get out. I had my reservations about him as the iconic Batman villain but I fuckin' loved this movie and him in that role. He absolutely deserves an Academy Award for this. 'Nuff said.
