Monster's Ball. I've yet to see the entire movie, but what I have seen was heartbreaking. And even when the film hasn't been quality, Ledger's performances have been very natural. The guy definitely had talent. Losing him is like losing James Dean was decades ago. I get chills watching him in The Dark Knight, just thinking about what he could have gone on to do.
And I have to admit I'm a fan of Ten Things I Hate About You. One and only teen flick I can say that about.

Oh, I love Ten Things I Hate About You, and as I recall it got good reviews. Nothing to be ashamed of with that one!

Monster's Ball was is a great film, and he's wonderful in it. Of course, Brokeback Mountain is magical. Didn't see Dark Knight.

He was in The Patriot with Mel Gibson. Nothing like having two hunks together in the same movie

Without Ledger, Dark Knight would have been a really good comic book/action movie. With him, it's a really awesome comic book/action movie. I've watched it a few times now and am still blown away by the character he created. So much thought went into the voice and all of the mannerisms, but you never see him thinking about it. He just becomes the character.

I think Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight were definitely Heath Ledger's best movies.

I think the only other “quality” one he was in was brokeback mountain. Which, to be honest was a tad bit overrated. I’d watch Philadelphia over that any day.

Yeah Philadelphia is good. This actually looks legitimately good too, similar subject matter (a good friend of mine just came out to us all so it kind of hits home) it’s a true story about this kid whose mom rejects him for being gay and he ends up committing suicide. She realizes how it was all her fault and then became one of the most well known gay activists figures in the US: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vAfBXW1e6U
