The Dark Knight

This movie hit just as hard as it did watching it the first time when I was 10. Truthfully, I think I have to credit The Dark Knight with turning me into the movie fan I am today. It shifted how I saw movies then, and watching it again for the first time in 15+ years just proved it’s still a masterpiece. Part crime drama, part psychological thriller, part action movie; from that iconic opening to the chilling memorial to the sobering end it just doesn’t let up and you don’t want it to. Heath Ledger gives an all-time great performance and I am so happy we get to call him Academy Award Winner, Heath Ledger.
