For added fun, the suggested showdown that I post that gets the most upvotes will win its author a modestly fabulous prize (that I haven't decided on yet). Game on!

It’s not crazy. It’s one of the most watched films of the decade. I went off the IMDb most watched rankings.

The Dark Knight was 2008, so it was the precious decade.
