Well....it did. Like I said, it propelled the film onto some kind of untouchable pedestal and if you critique the film you're shot down because apparently no one is allowed to do that.

You are so delusional.

Brandon Lee's death in the midst of filming The Crow didn't automatically make it a classic.

The Dark Knight is highly rated on every major critic compiling website. It made over $1 billion at the Box Office. Audiences (the true "everyman" fan) love the movie far more than critics, and that's really saying something. One man who dies tragically cannot do all of that by himself.

I'm not going to lie, Nolan has yet to make a movie I don't like. I would say that at least 3 of his movies are classics. Yet I acknowledge his flaws and I understand his shortcomings. He's not perfect. He just really struck gold with The Dark Knight. Even if you hate it, you can't deny the success that it has sustained in conversation and overall praise for 9 years now.

The Crow didn't have the Nolan hype machine. And Lee's death wasn't exploited the way Ledgers' was. So yeah, one cast member dying tragically DOES do that.
