Catching up on my Heath Ledger movies

After watching (500) Days of Summer last week, and completely going ga-ga over Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I couldn't shake off how much Joseph reminded me of Heath Ledger, and honestly, shivers ran down my spine. I love Heath, and honestly, his death was a huge loss to the movie industry. Young, charismatic, talented actors are so difficult to come by, and honestly, Heath had so much more to give.

And then I realized that I've actually never seen all of Heath's films, and making a list always makes me feel better - and it's a good way for me catch up on Heath's films before The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus opens in Singapore!

1. The Dark Knight (2008)

10. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Of the above, Brokeback Mountain is my all time top 10 movies, but I'll always have a soft spot for Heath in 10 Things I Hate About You - swept me off my feet with his rendition of Can't Take My Eyes Off You. Coincidentally, the movie also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt! PS: I have a soft spot for cute men who can sing - Ewan, Robbie, Heath, Joseph.
