I'm pretty sure there are multiple threads about this topic, but in the spirit of the thread...

1. The Dark Knight 4.5
2. Memento 4.5
3. The Prestige 4+
4. Inception 4
5. Insomnia 4
6. Batman Begins 3.5+

I like them all, and they're all solid films. I seem to like Insomnia a lot more than others (it's got GREAT performances), and Inception a little less than I used to. And like nearly every other Nolan fan, I'm very excited for The Dark Knight Rises.

I hate ranking and rating. But, I'll make an exception...

The Dark Knight (very, very close to TDKR)
Batman Begins
Inception
The Prestige
Following
Memento
Insomnia (did not like this one at all. It made me feel as tired as Pacino)

I am super biased because Batman made me fall in love with comics back when Burton made his first Bat-flick. That's why I hate ranking and rating...well, that and because I am fickle and prone to changing my opinion!

Keeping in mind I haven't seen Rises yet, here are my favourites:

1. Inception, the type of movie that keeps calling you back!
2. The Dark Knight, marks the exact point that comic book adaptations "grew up"
3. Memento, that glorious moment where it all comes together is worth repeated viewing
4. The Prestige, a bit too silly at the end but 2/3 of the movie is not only enjoyable, it is also highly thought provoking
5. Insomnia, finally got to see a mostly subdued Pacino and Robins is creepily good. One of his best roles.
6. Batman Begins, wiped the slate clean after Joel's horror run with the franchise

08-03-12, 07:15 PM
1. Memento - 5
2. The Dark Knight - 4.5
3. The Prestige - 4
4. Following - 4
5. Insomnia - 4
6. The Dark Knight Rises 4 (Provisional)
7. Inception - 4
8. Batman Begins - 3.5

I have quite a few problems with Begins, although I do think that it's boderline great, and can even see why some may prefer it over the other films in the trilogy. But yeah, it's probably my least favourite Nolan film if I had to pick one.

I probably overrate Following a bit, but I think that stylistically, it's very charming (as well as a great guide on how to go about making a film very zero pennies), and it gets credit for being his first film, so whatever mistakes or faults are are at play, I tend to forgive them because, well, it's his first film.

As you guys can see, I have given Rises a provisional 4 stars. I need to see it at least a couple of more times for a definitive grade, but I think I already know that I prefer it over Inception, which, I also enjoy immensely when I do watch it, but i'm always thinking 'this is technically astounding stuff, but why don't I LOVE this?'. I think that film is the only time in which criticisms of Nolan being labelled a 'technical director' were valid.

I have not seen Dunkirk, Interstellar, Batman Begins or Insomnia. I really want to!

I have a hard time ranking his films. Memento is perfect and brilliant. Inception is equally as brilliant, and far more ambitious, but is imperfect. Prestige is almost as good as his two other mind benders. The Dark Knight is overrated but still great. Dark Knight Rises is good but forgettable. Following is a very very good film; and to rank in the bottom half of his films only shows what a great filmography it is.

My ranking of Christopher Nolan's movies:

Batman Begins (2005)
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Didn't see any of them, not interested either.

Memento (2000)
Inception (2010)
Didn't like either. I'm not into mind trip movies, especially ones that feel manufactured to be trippy.

Interstellar (2014)
Liked it OK but in retrospect I don't think I want to watch it again.

Dunkirk (2017)
Didn't like it when it first came out, I even tried to rewatch it for the war countdown but shut if off after 30 minutes. No story to speak of, no character development, just lots of cinematography.

Oppenheimer (2023)
I'll watch it as I just rewatched last night, Fatman and Little Boy. I don't have much hope for Nolan's take on Oppenheimer but Cillian Murphy might make a good Oppy.

The movie is endless dialogue about communists. It's one of those boring committee hearings brought to boring cinematic experience. :down:

The movie is endless dialogue about communists. It's one of those boring committee hearings brought to boring cinematic experience. :down:Sounds like it could've been only 2 hours long. The biggie directors often seem to have an ego need to make 3 hour movies which is fine if they deliver 3 hours worth of goods. I haven't seen it but have been reading the reviews here in the Oppenheimer thread. I'll still watch it when it becomes available.

It could have been 90 minutes movie about science and logistics of creating atomic bomb and it's philosophic implications. But all that is just a minor feature of the movie.

All of the Nolan-penned movies have the exact same writing weaknesses. He didn't learn much for Oppenheimer, I'm sad to report. Dialogue and characters are STILL suffering from excessive Nolanitis, although Oppenheimer's dialogue is so dense and plentiful it sort of masks the usual cheese factor. Nolan being able to coax standout performances from his cast also helps a great deal, since he doesn't have the adrenaline-fueled action pomp to benefit from this time around.

I think you accidentally swapped Memento and Interstellar in your rankings!

They range from unacceptable to passable. Nothing to look for here if you're a serious cinephile.

Just checked. I am most certainly not a serious cinephile. Thank the maker, as those folks seem miserable! ;)

Anyway, back to ranking my plebian movies, not to be confused with films.

Interstellar
The Prestige
TDK
Inception
Memento
Dunkirk
Oppenheimer
Insomnia
TDKR
Batman Begins
Tenet

After watching Interstellar again, I just never get tired of it, and I really enjoy the dad/daughter stuff, the score, the cast, and even the slightly silly and sentimental but still effective last act. I faded the Batman stuff a bit, most likely due to being plum sick and tired of comic films at this point. I did watch Tenet a second time a while back, liked it more than the first, but still feel it is sort of a chore to get through and doesn't really come together. There is a good film in there somewhere, but in its current form, it has too many issues, so it ends up in last.

That's also one of Thief's all time favorites.

I always think of contacting Thief here on the boards each time I watch it so we can do a livestream deep dive, as I think that would best capture his passion and love for the film. Maybe next time!

For what it's worth, I hear he also loves Silver Linings Playbook, so maybe he'd be more eager to watch that one.

I don't think all that highly of any of Nolan's films, well-made movies but rarely narratively solid all the way through and with a veneer of "depth" that rings false to me, but if I was forced to watch one again it would probably be Interstellar.

Not sure where to fit Doodlebug into these rankings, but it's pretty good.

Here's what I posted last time. My opinion hasn't changed since then. Not sure if I'll ever watch Insomnia or Batman Begins.

For what it's worth, Begins is definitely better than Rises.

I didn't enjoy the rest.
Interstellar had its moments, but was rubbish.
Dark Knight Rises was a run of the mill superhero flick, with clichés for characters. Just an awful, awful movie.
Dunkirk - I didn't connect with, and it almost left me deaf.
Oppenheimer was decent but bloated and rushed. Would have been better as a series with so many plotlines.
Tenet was a hot mess

As usual, Nolan is quite divisive.
