Some of these movies are quite unheard of but most are readily available on DVD very cheap.

Some of these early movies Heath Ledger had a role in are truly history in the making with unknown actresses, acotrs and directors. Most of the early movies are very watchable, just not too much of Heath in them!
Things really started to open up for young Heath Ledger in 2000 with The Patriot and subsequent other films such as A Knights Tale, 10 things I Hate About You, Monsters Ball and others. But it was in 2005 with Ledger's role in the award winning Brokeback Mountain that showed the world his incredible acting ability and launched him into worldwide fame.

The Grimm Brothers are told that ten girls have vanished in the forest and they are at task to discover what happened to them. During their mission in the enchanted forest they discover there actually is a curse which can only be exorcised by true courage, not their usual tactics.
The brothers keep a detailed journal of each of their encounters during their trials in the forest. Each entry references one of the well known Grimms Fairy Tales, weaving them together, creating this final tale of the Brothers Grimm.

The movie Brokeback Mountain is a love story that begins in the summer of 1963 and continues through 20 years. The story begins with the introduction of the two characters in a chance encounter. Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a cowboy in the rodeo and Ennis, (Heath Ledger) a ranch hand. They are quite different from each other, but neither can help the instant attraction to each other. They form a very strong irrevocable bond while tending to sheep in the cold mountains of Wyoming. One awkward hug shared between the two characters develops the beginning of a strong, emotional, moving, and tragic love story.
There is both humor and sadness throughout the formation of the relationship in that each of the characters denies to each other any gay feelings or tendencies, while also searching for a meaningful and lasting relationship.
Throughout the story, each man tries to fit into society by marrying and even raising children but upon each encounter they are reminded of their undeniable love for each other and also the extreme taboo of a gay relationship in that time and place. They try to understand and maintain the relationship by planning annual fishing trips together but as their feelings grow, so does the anger and frustration caused by their own denial.
Each of the characters realizes that the love they feel for each other can really only be requited at that special place where it all began. In the end of the movie Ennis realizes through his daughters relationship with her fiancé that true love, in any form, should be acknowledged and never wasted or forgotten.
