Which thrillers are your own personal favourites and why (2)?

The Dark Knight (2008)

The Dark Knight is a 2008 British-American superhero film directed, produced, and cowritten by Christopher Nolan. Based on the DC Comicscharacter Batman, the film is the second part of Nolan's Batman film series and a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins. Christian Bale reprises the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Gotham City's falling to pieces and Batman is both the problem and the solution. The caped crusader has taken down a king-sized helping of bad guys, although he's not working on his own. Ordinary citizens have taken up his cause, donning their own Batman costumes and patrolling the streets. And now the mobsters left in town have joined forces in order to keep the real Batman at bay.
Fortunately for Gotham City, the newly elected district attorney Harvey Dent is a real hard-ass on crime. Even Batman approves of this steely-jawed White Knight, and getting the superhero's stamp of approval wasn't easy since Harvey is spending lots of time with Batman's ex, Rachel. Rachel couldn't handle Bruce's covert nighttime activities and now keeps company with a man unafraid of the spotlight.
However, the local mob and Rachel's preference for a non-costumed boyfriend aren't Batman's biggest problems. A new villain has emerged on the scene and he's not playing by any rules. Sporting smeary clown makeup that emphasizes a smile carved into his flesh like a pumpkin on Halloween, the maniacal character known as The Joker is ready to take over as the leader of Gotham's underworld. The Joker's single-minded in his desire to inflict pain and unmask Batman. The formidable though strictly unofficial team of Lieutenant Jim Gordon, Harvey Dent and Batman must take down this sick clown before Gotham City turns into Slaughter City.

I like the movie because every scene is entertaining and it talks about a lot of things like heroism, honor, integrity, drama, comedy, action and romance. The actors which were chosen by Nolan were actors which already won Oscars and so their work and acting is really good and I can see it in the movie.
