I heard The Dark Knight was good, but this good??

Rank	Rating	Title	Votes
1.	9.4	The Dark Knight (2008)	104,906
2.	9.1	The Godfather (1972)	292,658
3.	9.1	The Shawshank Redemption (1994)	343,165

I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!

He could have never outfought The Godfather, but until this day I did not know it was Heath Ledger all along.

A refusal to enjoy another movie is not the act of a friend. If Don Corleone had all the movie critics in New York, then he must share them, or let us others use them. He must let us draw the water from the well. Certainly he can -- present a bill for such services; after all -- we are not communists. "I got news for you.

I have seen both the movies and I also personally find that The Godfather has much much more impact on me than Dark Knight. But your claim, as well as from other members that it cannot be better than The Godfather is vacuous.

Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand. Like W, Batman sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency, certain that he will re-establish those boundaries when the emergency is past.” "Generosity.

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if it got a lot of sympathy votes due to Heath Ledger. Wait until The Dark Knight has been out for 36 years and see how good people think it is. I have seen it and rest assured it's not better than Godfather, hell not even close.
