Does sex with a cowboy in a tent count?

But star wars?
I watched that again a couple of years ago and the acting is terrible.

Yeah it's like the annual ESPN poll the day after the Super Bowl, asking which was the greatest ever.

Ok Ok, so I know I said I thought The Dark Knight was awesome, but it still is a comic book movie, certainly doesn't rank up there with Shawshank, Schindler's List, and Godfather. I think Ledger's performance is really the reason this movie is at the top of that list.
