The Dark Knight
I didn't buy into the hype. I thought Ledger being hailed as a guaranteed Oscar recipient was a reaction to his death, not his acting. And I was especially dubious because Batman Begins was only an okay movie -- it wasn't really impressive and it wasn't really that interesting.
But I went to see it tonight, and I have to admit. The Dark Knight was a wonderful movie.
Non-spoiler edition: I couldn't look at either villain while they were talking because it was just too creepy, the chaos and characterization of the Joker was spot-on, and the Rachel character looked like she was going to sabotage canon but instead she just fit into it beautifully.
Favorite scenes: The 60-minute manhunt instigated by the Joker on TV and pretty much everything thereafter, including A) the hospital scene, and B) the ferry boats.

That's an excellent show, btw. It's for kids, ostensibly, but there's a lot of darkness and really fantastic writing. Plus they came up with Ramirez and Harley Quinn (I am sick over the idea that we can never have Heath Ledger's Joker interact with a Harley)!
