Batman film The Dark Knight has been named as one of the Top 10 movies of 2008 by the American Film Institute.

Others include political biopic Milk, animated fantasy Wall-E and Brad Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino and comic book blockbuster Iron Man also feature alongside the independent dramas Frozen River and Wendy and Lucy.

Frost/Nixon and The Wrestler complete the list, compiled by a panel of filmmakers, reviewers and academics.

Unlike other awards bodies, the institute does not rank films or pick one as the year’s best.

    Lets do this, this film should get an Oscar, especially Heath Ledgers chilling Joker performance.

    If the Academy is fair enough TDK should get at least 6 or 7 nods:
    -best pic
    -best director
    -best supporting actor
    -best score
    -best original screenplay
    -some technical stuff

    The American Film Institute said that The Dark Knight is one of the top ten movies of 2008. I say it is THE number one movie of 2008.

    TDK has already been eliminated on original score. apparently more than one person worked on the score so it cant get nominated. same thing happened with Batman Begins
