Hard to argue with such an iconic character.
Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker has been voted as the most memorable movie moment of the past 21 years, by a large amount of
Rotten Tomatoes users.
The popular movie reviewing website received over 25,000 votes when they asked fans to decide which moment stood out to them.
The moment in question was the introduction to the character, although if you ask us, there's about five or six scenes we could choose from.
The pencil trick, his terrifying speech at the party, "let's put a smile on that face". You could pick them all. But the scene Rotten Tomatoes went for was the first-look audiences got at the character.
