Best Movies of my Life #19

The Dark Knight
In 2006, Christopher Nolan rebooted the batman franchise with the first film of a new trilogy called "Batman Begins." And it was great. One reason it was so good was that the previous film was so bad. I'm not sure how many of you saw Batman and Robin, but it is one of the worst movies ever made. It's not worth the film it was captured on. But Nolan pitched this idea of a new nitty gritty style and it resulted in one of the best trilogies in cinema history, and the crown jewel of the series was "The Dark Knight." Honestly the Dark Knight was a lot better than we thought it would be. As good as Batman Begins was, we had no idea how this one would turn out. It was an action packed emotional thriller with layers we weren't expecting, and Heath Ledger's incredible performance as the Joker was the icing on the cake. Unfortunately Ledger passed away before the film was released. Praised by critics, audiences, a financial success, and the greatest super hero movie ever made. Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is absolutely incredible.
