6. The Dark Knight

Well, of course this was going to be on here.

While it’s not my personal favorite comic book movie, I’d have to be an idiot to not include it on a list of important films in the set. After all, this is the closest superhero movies have ever gotten to awards bait. Successful awards bait too. The Dark Knight is a wonderful film that deserves the praise it gets. And while its influence has been arguably a negative one (attempts to replicate its darkness in tone have led to some low points for comic book cinema), that isn’t really the movie’s fault.

It does something very well that many people would later fail to replicate. That should be a plus, not a negative. Plus, you know, Chris Nolan is an incredibly talented director capable of getting great performances and incredible shots.

A skilled filmmaker made a great movie, what a surprise.
