Childhood favorite (and still a huge part of my life) or a modern day classic (which could last for years/decades)? Going with Star Wars. Even though I like the Dark Knight, Star Wars (and its two followers)is still my favorite movie of all time. And am I the only person who really didn't like the non-practial makeup on Two Face? Should have used the make up artist from Let the Right One In (acid face) or even Hannibal.

Very tough choice indeed. I have to go with Star Wars too because (especially for the first one) Lucas created an entire new universe on his own, whereas Dark Knight, however brilliant it is, is still a sequel among a franchise and therefore demanded less of a creative effort. And apart from the fact that I kept thinking that two-face's eye should dry out since he couldn't blink, I thought the makeup (or rather the special effect) was awesome.

Oh cripeys! How do you compare these two? But it just has to be Star Wars for me -- first movie I saw in the theater at 6 years old...

Star Wars all the way!!

Star Wars is a nice fantasy, but the Dark Knight is gripping cinema.

No competition here, it's Star Wars.

E.A.S.Y. The Jedi over Batman

2 of my favorite villans, Vader and Joker. Star Wars has the nostalgia effect, but in my opinion TDK has the better acting despite Christian Bales batman voice and is more exciting to watch.
Really close but Star Wars is the most endearing. It was a landmark in cinema.

Although 'The Dark Knight' had brilliant acting (mostly thanks to Heath Ledger) and was a visually stunning, gripping thriller, 'Star Wars' was simply the better film.

This is touch, but I choose Star Wars; it was a landmark film, introduced me to some of the greatest characters ever, and the mythical archetype is tremendous.

Star Wars. As good as Dark Knight is, Star Wars is so much bigger.

#1 and 2 on Flickchart, eh? Let me say this: The world of cinema owes George Lucas a huge debt of gratitude for Star Wars. And the films of the original trilogy were probably my favorites as a kid. But now that I've grown up, I think The Dark Knight is a superior film.

This is what I was waiting for, I have to go with Star Wars. Maybe its cause im a geek but damn that is a great film. Dark Knight is probably as close as you can get to a perfect film and execution but star wars will win every day.

Not to dispute its greatness, but there are 3 serious problems with the Dark Knight: A - The Bat-voice, 2) The Bat-vision thing, and C) The total waste of the talents & character of Maggie Gyllenhall.

The Dark Knight will beat many films but Star Wars is not one of them.

Star Wars is in no way better than The Dark Knight. It just has the novelty factor going for it. But I could look past that. The Dark Knight gets my vote.

Star Wars. I am so simple...nostalgia almost always wins :/

The Joker vs. Darth Vader! Another sinister showdown of villains.
on 7/8/2011
Nobody will remember The Dark Knight in 10 years. Once the novelty value wears of and all that "gotta-see-it-because-Heath Ledger-died" disappears in time people will realize it is one of the most overrated movies ever. Good sure. But milestone? masterpiece?? Not a chance in hell. Star Wars transcends generations.

Dark Knight is a superior film to anything Lucas has directed and will be remembered throughout time as one of the greatest and most unjustifiably Oscar shunned films in the history of cinema.

No. I LOVE The Dark Knight and Heath Ledger's Joker, but there is no discussion. I don't think Dark Knight is better than any of the original 3 Star Wars movies.

I just decided and clicked and two seconds later I get the same choice again. What is that, flickchart? Do you suggest I chose wrong? xD AGAIN - Star Wars!
Star Wars. Two great films. One has played a major role in the shaping of pop culture. Simple as that...

For most film-lovers over 30, this is no contest.
