So we went to see the new movie and while I have heard "best movie ever" from may sources, I'm not sure.
Don't get me wrong I loved it, but I have the hardest time picking the best movie ever. I think that I would have to say "Princess Bride" but that's more from a personal standpoint.
"Shaw$hank Redemption" is one of my favorites as well.
But for sure it was the best caped crusader movie. The way the plot is woven together is just stunning! And I could wax poetic about Heath's performance as the Joker forever. That man had some skill. And I'm not talking from a sentimental place in my heart.
I judge all movies by if I am "sucked into" the world of the movie. Did I see the characters on the screen? Or did I simply see a bunch of actors trying to be someone else. I never saw Heath on the screen. I only saw the Joker. Even when I tried to be a sentimental sap and think about the shame it was to lose him, the character would do something horrific, and I'd only see the Joker again.
But the person I'm most impressed by is Bale. I have loved Bale ever since Newsies came out when I was in elementary school. Oh, he was so cute!!! But he has come a long way from playing a dancing paper boy. I can't believe how well he pulls off the playboy Wayne personality and give the Bat the intimidating creepiness that the costume deserves.
And the voice he uses for the bat! I just get chills its so creepy!
Batman was never meant to be a sexy character. Except in a raw elemental way.
But enough about the movie. I need to get back to the list.
My top movies
(not in order, because truly, it depends on the day)
1. The Usual $uspects
2. Prin-cess Bride
3. The D@rk Knight
4. Pride and Prejudice
5. Hot Fuzz
Frankly, that's all I have so far. These are the movies, that I could watch over and over again, because there are so many levels to watch in them. Every time you watch, there is something else to see. Does that make any sense?
I love to watch Pride and Prejudice to watch the background characters. Especially when they are 'just missing each other in the ballroom scene.' And to catch the secret glances that pass between the hero and heroine.

( I do believe I've dated myself.)
I love all movies but now that I've matured I can't stand to see death or cruelty. It hurts my soul. So that pretty much leaves comedy, musical, adventure, suspense, or a very good "who dunnit". I liked "The 6th Sense" and "Ghosts" but it was close at times because of the "evil". Oh well, I guess I'll soon be watching only videos of family (like grand daughters). I love a good movie, a large popcorn and an ice tea to share with UD. It's even better when seen with people we love.
I haven't yet seen this movie, however one opinion I heard was that Heath was so into the role they wonder if that wasn't part of his death. Something to ponder when I do see it I guess.
