What are the best movies to watch if you liked Joker?
Joker is a phenomenal movie and Joaquin Phoenix did the iconic character justice with his performance. Todd Phillips did an equally great job of directing the film while drawing inspiration from classic films. There are plenty of other movies that have the same tone as Joker. So without further ado, here are some of the best movies to watch if you liked Joker.
The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan recreates The Batman trilogy successfully and it has arguably reached its peak with this second movie. The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film that shows Bruce Wayne in a different light as it boasts a formidable cast which features Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Christian Bale, and the late Heath Ledger.

- #1November 6, 2019"Joaquin Phoenix had some pretty big shoes to fill after the incredible performance and interpretation of the Joker by Heath Ledger. Is it better? I think they are equally great that tries to explore different sides of the iconic character's psyche. Regardless, it's a movie like Joker and warrants a watch or re-watch again."

The Dark Knight - #2November 6, 2019"This film is another character study men with the capacity for violent tendencies and while Joker had a more dramatic and darker tone, this is a much more disturbing take on psychopaths and a deeper look at what makes them tick. This movie is so much like Joker that I would recommend it in a heartbeat."

He Was a Quiet Man - #3November 6, 2019"If you could only see one from this list movies like Joker, make it this one. Call it a remake or a spiritual successor but the fact remains that these two have so much in common that it might as well have been made by the same group of people. Hell, Robert De Niro is in both of them."

The King of Comedy (1982) - #4November 6, 2019"Who could forget that iconic "You talking to me?" scene from this movie. It was a powerful scene that emphasizes that sense of control and power. The Joker also did something very similar that it could have been considered a homage to its source inspiration."

Taxi Driver - #5November 6, 2019"You've probably heard of this movie already but now with the release of Joker, we now get an, even more, deeper understanding and appreciated of this cult classic film. If you've been looking for a movie like Joker, be sure to check this one out."

American Psycho - #6November 6, 2019"This was such an underrated movie that came out back in 2016. Joker did a great job tackling the sensitive topic of depression but this film went deeper into this dark and deadly condition. This is a movie like Joker that needs to be seen."
Refering to:
Christine - #7November 6, 2019"Some probably missed this but that talk show scene from the Joker movie has a very peculiar similarity with another film and that's this one. It too had a very riveting sequence that ends in an equally gruesome way like with Joker."
Refering to:
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 - #8November 6, 2019"A lot of movies have tried to give their take on psychopaths but A Clockwork Orange is especially dark and excessively violent. It won't be for everyone but it is something that you should see at least once."
