Russell GutierrezWritten on November 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."#2Taxi Driver

This masterpiece directed by Martin Scorsese is one of the most powerful and disturbing portrays of a man, an era, and a mentality ever made in cinema history. Besides, it's an incredible lesson of cinema, at the height of movies like The Godfather.

"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. "#3The Dark Knight

The Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan reaches its peak with this second movie. The Dark Knight was released in 2008 and has featured Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Christian Bale, and the late actor Heath Ledger.

"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."

"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."#6Christine
