Excellent pick Ro - the understated yet poignant performance by Ledger is what turned that movie into a great one instead of just a good one with pretty cinematography. He played Ennis so deftly that while he seldom gave away how deeply he loved Jack, you felt it and understood in some ways that his love was the deeper of the two. The end of the movie is still able to move me as you watch him come to terms with things and the role he's been dealt in life. IMHO this was a much better performance than the Dark Knight as he had no gimmicks to use or makeup to hide behind (altho his Joker was amazing as well).
