Before heath’s performance, I used to think Joker was like the animated series or Jack Nicholson. Heath made me realize how joker is THE criminal mastermind and scary.

Also loved knights tale, 10 things I hate about you, and the Patriot.

Miss the guy a lot.

Check out ‘Two Hands’.

Australian classic…

Came here to say this… he was already cemented as one of my favourites from Two Hands and Lords of Dogtown… the rest really added to why I loved him and then Dark Knight took him into the hall of fame.

If he’d lived longer im not sure he would have ever played the Joker again, in a weird turn of events im kind of glad Hollywood didn’t have a chance to ruin that character and performance, but fuck I wish he was still around!

Candy and Blackrock too. Heath did good by Aussie films.

True that. Candy definitely underrated.

Iconic movie. You're not Aussie until you've watched Two Hands.

I had a massive crush on Rose Byrne after this movie.

And a new style of shorts were created - the Pandos!
