You can also vote for three other movies if you want.
I'd go for Memento, The Prestige and TDKR in that case.

lol
wut?
Chris Bale and co. started out in BB. Without BB's cast (Chris Bale, Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman), the TDK would not be so good.

But.. er...

We're talking about which individual film has the best cast. Batman Begins has a much different cast than The Dark Knight, and vice versa obviously. So... what?

Inception no doubt. Followed by TDKR.

One off the few that was not infected by the virus that is talli. He makes people love Gosling and dislike Fassbender if you needed more evidence.

JGL had a few bad moments in his performance but he was overall good. Ellen's character, and not her performance was annoying in one or two sequence but that was it. She did a good job too imo.

I usually agree with talli on Hardy, Fassbender etc (though these are actors I discovered from their first roles in Band of Brothers so he can't talk about bandwagons in front of me) - however, while JGL and Ellen Page didn't really do as much as Hardy, what they actually did wasn't bad at all - they're supposed to be representative of individual aspects of of the mind - JGL being the left hand side, organised and specific, which means he's not really trying to hit more than one note, he plays off Hardy as Hardy plays off him and that's something they did well.

yeah I don't get the hate that Ellen gets for her performance. It wasn't astounding or anything, but I don't see how she could have played it any other way

Yeah, I loved Ellen. She wasn't out-acting DiCaprio or anything, but she played the role exactly how it was meant to be.
