A Knights Tale

I'd like to take a moment out to remember Heath Ledger. This certainly is a devastating loss to the acting community. Lets all hope all of the findings come back accidental and that this is just an unfortunate mishap. Heath was one of my favorite eye candies especially when I was younger as he was for many of my friends. I was always very happy to see pictures of him with his family and his young daughter because they always looked so happy and sweet. In honor of Heath I'd like to pay tribute to his best movies (in my opinion):

10 Things I Hate About You - His breakout role and still one of his best to date....solidified him and the rugged bad boy with a voice and heart that would make you melt
The Patriot - He is a surprise as this one and shows how easily he can get into character and hold his own against the likes of a veteran like Mel Gibson
A Knights Tale - Definitely commands the flick and its just such a fun one to watch him in
The Lords of Dog town - He is such a gem in this unique flick...steals all of his scenes as he has a tendency to do.
Monsters Ball - My first introduction to very intense dramatic piece. The movie left a sour aftertaste in general but Heath's role was just a bright spot in the flick
The Dark Knight - I think this will become one of his finest acting roles when it is released. It is a shame that we cannot enjoy the flick with him still alive to talk about it. I've heard about his process am impressed and have seen the promo pics and he looks scary as hell as the Joker.

RIP Heathcliff Andrew Ledger 4-4-79 - 1-22-08
You will be missed.
