Batman (1989)
#29 on my Top 100 List
Remember back before the Batmobile was a tank and it was just a kick-ass car? And before the Batcave was the basement of a warehouse and it was an actual cave? The Dark Knight is a great movie - it even made it onto my Top 100 list when I first saw it - but Tim Burton's original is just awesome. Michael Keaton will always be Batman to me and Burton's creepy whimsical style fits the Batman mythology (pre-The Dark Knight Returns) perfectly. If you like emo Batman, choose The Dark Knight. If you like Batman kicking ass and having fun with it, go with this.
My Netflix rating: 5 stars
