7. The Dark Knight

7.The Dark Knight


The best comic book adaptation movie lands number 6 on my list. This classic showdown of good and evil questions all our morals as human beings. Nobody who saw this movie expected it to go as deep as it did. It's just a classic batman movie I thought, it was in fact one of the best movie pieces of cinema I have ever seen. Directed by the living legend as far as directors go, Christopher Nolan creates quite  possibly one of his best movies and with his track record that is an incredible feat. This movie did extremely well at the box office and even brought in some Oscars in the departments of Sound Editing and Best Supporting Actor. Heath Ledger who played the most iconic joker of all time passed shortly after he finished his scenes due to him abusing prescription drugs. It was a huge lost for Hollywood and the entire world .The movie would not have been as iconic if he was not starring in it.

A sequel in the Nolan trilogy, The Dark Knight follows the adventures of the caped crusader as he is more settled in Gotham. He is starting to be respected and becoming more of a hero. This all changes when he faces a villain who will cross lines that none of his previous foes ever would. This villain is the Joker and is  portrayed as mentioned above by the late Heath Ledger. This new enemy puts everything on the line for Bruce Wayne and Batman. This movie is so amazing because it explores a new side of the Batman universe, instead of treating him like a god, Nolan make him extremely vulnerable which gives us the audience an emotional ride. The most part of this movie that had the most impact was how this movie made us question our morals. With an antagonist with no true goals but a thirst for chaos, it makes question a lot of what we know in our lives.
