The Dark Knight.
No, seriously.
Of the movies I've watched, I can't think of another one that deals with human nature as explicitly as The Dark Knight does. The movie proves that humans are capable of immense destruction and selfishness. It proves that people can be swayed, tragically, from good to bad causes. Yet it also proves that when push comes to shove, humans tend to do what's right, and that individuals are also capable of extraordinary dedication and feats of heroism.
