Frankenstein or Dark Knight...either way I'm voting against a favourite of mine...

Brilliant as they both are, I think I have to go with Dark Knight. If it was Bride, I would probably say otherwise...

Toughest match yet, for me.

I've not seen that version of Frankenstein, to be honest - I'm behind on my Hammer :o

I'll go with Clerks.

The Evil of Frankenstein is one of the greatest horror films of the 60s.

However, Gran Torino is Clint's best in years. A really amazing film.
