The Dark Knight (2008) - Christopher Nolan
This isn't a Batman film. This is the Joker's film. Nolan knew it, Heath Ledger knew it, and I think, he may not have liked it, but Christian Bale knew it too. After his death, this film is and will continue to be the legend that Ledger (word play) left behind.

Blue Velvet (1986) - David Lynch
I really enjoyed this film. It made me realise I haven't seen enough David Lynch films.
We watched a short film of his as well (this was in Film Language class) called The Alphabet (1968). The gap of twenty years-ish doesn't seem much when comparing the two, due to the similarities. They're both creepy, but the editing is top notch. However, the differences speak volumes. David Lynch has gone from an 18 year old kid making cartoon/live action mix ups in his bedroom, to becoming one of the most renowned directors of all time, and it shows.
Dennis Hopper's role rivals that of the Joker played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight (2008) - Christopher Nolan as one of the creepiest, maddest villains of cinema.
