If you can spare a minute, think back on the greatest work of cinema that you have ever seen. Did you think about The Dark Knight? No? Then you are a moron. Because while you were out doing whatever it is morons do…demolition derbies or…croquet, (we wouldn’t know, we loved The Dark Knight), The Dark Knight pimp-slapped Andy Dufresne, spat in the Godfather’s face and gave Charles Foster Kane a big ol’ wedgie on its way to becoming the greatest movie of all time.

All this in spite of the bat suit causing our hero to grumble like the offspring of Tom Waits and Cookie Monster. There is nothing at all silly about that. We here at RiffTrax regret even having to point out that he sounds like your Great Aunt Vivian sending you out for her third pack of Pall Malls of the day. Because The Dark Knight is not just a superhero movie. It’s a gritty crime drama about political corruption and the choices men make that just happens to involve a superhero. A superhero millionaire that dresses as a bat whose voice sounds like your cat heaving up a hairball into your slippers who battles a guy with half a face named Two-Face.

Despite all this, Mike, Kevin and Bill are ready to take on…(reverent pause)…The Greatest Movie of All Time.*

For some reason, perhaps simply by chance, the number 237 keeps popping up in movies. I’m not sure if this recurrence has any significance at all, but if you spot the number in any other films, please let me know. I’m mainly interested in examples that seem entirely coincidental, not when they obviously make references to Kubrick’s The Shining. The film clips shown here are from The Shop Around the Corner (Ernst Lubitsch, 1940); Possessed (Curtis Bernhardt, 1947); Torn Curtain (Alfred Hitchcock, 1966); The Shining (Stanley Kubrick, 1980); Stand by Me (Rob Reiner, 1986); The Shawshank Redemption (Frank Darabont, 1994); Battlestar Galactica, Season 1, Episode 1: “33″ (Michael Rymer, 2004); Capote (Bennett Miller, 2005), and Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium (Zach Helm, 2007). A funny coincidence: I’m currently teaching a college course in film criticism and theory. Can you guess what my classroom number is? Yep, you guessed it. P.S. Several YouTubers have already helped me with this project by letting me know about the number’s appearance in Magorium, Stand by Me, Shawshank, and Battlestar Galactica. Thank you so much! That makes a total of eight movies and one television program! Update: I have a theory as to why the number 237 is used in each of these instances. I was telling my fiancée that I think that the number is used as a realist convention, that is, because it sounds like a “real” number, as opposed to numbers like 10, 25, 50, 100, etcetera that seem too neat and clean to be “real” in the context of a movie’s fictional narrative. She agreed, noting that 2, 3, and 7 are the smallest prime numbers if you skip the number 5, which, as half of ten, seems less “realistic” than 7. So I think that we can develop a good theory about the use of this number. It is clearly chosen, like so many other formal details in a movie, to enhance the effect of reality, to make as easy as possible the suspension of disbelief necessary to enjoy a movie. It is not the only number that suits this purpose, but it might be an optimal number, which would account for its seemingly coincidental recurrence. The twentieth-century French theorist Roland Barthes discusses a similar idea in S/Z, his book-length structuralist analysis of Honoré de Balzac’s novella “Sarrasine.” On page forty-nine of S/Z, Barthes writes, “The girl is twenty-two, the old man is one hundred. Twenty-two: this precise figure produces the effect of reality; metonymically, this precision leads us to believe that the old man is exactly one hundred years old (rather than being somewhere around one hundred).” So we might say that it is the precision of the number 237 that produces the effect of reality in each of these eight films and one television program. Thank you again to those people who have helped me so far with this project. If you wish to be credited, please send me a message letting me know how you would like to me to list your “name” at the end of the video, that is, as your YouTube moniker or whatever.

Literally while watching “The Dark Knight” for the very first time, I had this idea for a Joker character study and began piecing it together in my mind. By the second time I saw it, I just HAD to get some clips and get this thing started. So, for your viewing pleasure, made in mere hours (over last night and today)…here it is! My very first TDK vid!

Praise to Heath’s utterly AMAZING portrayal of the Joker btw. Wish he were still around to do it again.

Batman stars in this new spin on “Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

I wrote this story a year ago as a gift for RandomGal. Since it’s that time of year again, I thought I’d break out the action figures and share it with you, as well. Don’t worry, the funny stuff’s coming. I promise. But, y’know…’tis the season. Please to enjoy…and Happy Holidays.
