Movies The Dark Knight Heath Ledger. His performance alone made this movie Oscar worthy and I am pretty sure he did win an Oscar for this role. He is just outstanding and completely believable as an "Agent of Chaos." For some really in depth analysis about his actions in this movie, watch this video.
Movies Batman Begins This is a fantastic movie. Christian Bale really set up a world that people loved. His and Gary Oldman's dedication to characters really made this an enjoyable movie to watch acting wise. As it is Nolan, there is a lot of practical explosions and that makes this movie.
Movies The Dark Knight Rises This is another Christopher Nolan masterpiece and in my opinion better, the story is better than The Dark Knight. The hard exception to that hot take is Heath Ledger. He kills it, but we aren't talking about that in this movie.
