Christopher Nolan's Top Ten Films Ranked
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors of his generation. Here is the definitive list of his ten best films. I have seen so many Nolan rankings over the years but never agreed with the critics rankings so I wanted to make my own definitive list.
So much of movie viewing is subjective so not everyone is going to agree but I feel extremely confident in my list and am excited to see where Oppenheimer is going to fit in once it drops next year.
Until then, leave a comment below with your own rankings, i would love to see your thoughts. - Розваги
Interstellar is one of the best films of all time. As a 38 year old man, I cry TWICE during the movie. But you are right, the father/daughter relationship is the heart of the film.
Murph > Tom
We’re the same age and we cried the same number of times and the father daughter relationship was a killer 😢
Im same of ur age. And every time i see the movie. I still cry. It’s definitely the best film ever of all time
Same here. Agree
i cry watching terminator 2 @@alameri500ify

1. Prestige
2. Interstellar
3. Inception
4. Memento
5. Dark Knight Rises
6. The Dark Knight
7. Dunkirk
8. Batman Begins
9. Tenet
I still haven't watched Insomnia buy I believe it will rank higher than half the movies here
@@adityanarain9428 how is Dark knight rises and memento above the Dark knight
@@Miotveditz TDK is a movie spooled with many interesting concepts and raises many eyebrows with it's unusual and rather mature manner of handling conflict between a protagonist and an antagonist. The impulsive, instinctive nature of mankind to respond to immediate dangers with fear, villains that have no motive or stake so they go all out, how the judicial and executive (government) systems incorporated
in America and in Gotham are deeply flawed and require constant amendments, how good men turn corrupt due to emotions, paranoia after the events of 9/11, and most importantly what defines a hero.
Ignoring this, the movie was a pretentious mess. Audio mixing is horrible, most dialogues were pretentious and way too expository, chugging in information without allowing the audiences to process it well, on that note pacing was all over the place. Action scenes were clunky, and Bale's voice would've been ripped on the internet of it came today. Some plot holes especially the ferry scenes. It's movie with legendary concepts, Heath Ledger and Michael Caine. Beyond that it's a Shyamalan remake.
After watching and understanding tenet, I started believing that Nolan is one of the best brains in this world.
It's just crazy how he can think like that and ofc, present it in an unbelievable way.
Of the movies I’ve watched-
1- Interstellar
2- The dark knight
3- The prestige
4- Inception
-Oppenheimer
5- tenet
6- memento
7- Dunkirk
8- the dark knight rises
9- batman begins
No matter some cringey dialogue, interstellar has my favourite soundtrack of all time, the docking scene is my favourite scene of all time, my favourite visuals of all time and my favourite jumpscare of all time, and unlike many other Nolan films it also has the emotional punch
U gotta watch the prestige
@@enocloke24 I’ll update it now, since I’ve watched Dunkirk and the prestige now
@@zenthous9568 hell ya glad you liked it.
@@enocloke24 yeah it was awesome, Dunkirk was so-so for me though, still great but I probably wasn’t the target audience anyway
@@zenthous9568 same I thought it was great visually but I don’t rank it very high on my top ten either lol
The Dark Knight rises was still great, the ending was perfect for this version of batman, I honestly thought you were joking and you were gonna say that you weren't serious
The Dark Knight Rises is a excellent movie,a helpless Bruce Wayne being a human
Yea I think it was a fine movie
Idk why it get as much hate as it does
Inception and Memento are my favorites. I can always watch Memento no matter how many times but Inception makes me beg to have my memories wiped so that I can watch it again like it's the first time
Always fun to watch them
Exactly 💯. Even today I have a hard time naming another most favorite movie of mine other than Memento. That movie is extraordinary. Inception was a great one too.
Glad to see so many defending Interstellar, definitely in my top 5 Nolan films
1. Memento
2. Interstellar
3. Inception
4. Dark Knight
5. Dunkirk
6. The Prestige
7. Batman Begins
8. Insomnia
9. Dark Knight Rises
10. Tenet
11. The Following
Interstellar at 8th, oh nooo I can't bear tha pain
Inception may just be my favorite movie ever made
1: Inception
2: Oppenheimer
3: Memento
4: The Dark Knight
5: The Prestige
6: Dunkirk
7: Batman Begins
8: Tenet
9: Interstellar
10: Insomnia
1. Interstellar 2.The dark night 3.Inception is his top three, in that order
People love interstellar but it wasn’t for me. Thanks for watching!
I think interstellar is great but a little overrated, it’s easily his beat looking and sounding film with Zimmers best score, the performances are amazing. But its pretty flawed and not the perfect masterpiece interstellar fans make it out to be, there are one too many plot point that really drags out what is a 2 hour and 15 minute film at most to an almost 3 hour film. It isn’t very subtle in its themes and has a bit to much exposition that isn’t really done right. With that being said, this guys review wasn’t really that great as he more or less just took every film at face value saying some films are just fun or have great set pieces or have great action and that’s really it so I don’t blame you for disagreeing with this guy.
@@BlindTakes good video btw but yeah here's the thing with interstellar. The emotion the movie portrayed was very moving and the concept for the movie was outstanding. Plus ik the video was abt Nolan but I mean, cmon Hanz Zimmers best performance ever outstanding
@@BlindTakes I think it might be a little over rated but I still think it's my number one Nolan film. My favorite movie is Blade Runner 2049 but interstellar still did many things right and definitely is an A tier movie
@@Prodbyjah464 no examples of why it was so bad? no argument here just excuses.
I'm guessing you're in your early twenties.. when you get older, you'll appreciate Interstellar as what it is... not only the best Nolan film but one of the best films of all times.
Thank you for watching
1. Interstellar
2.Inception
3.Dark Knight
4.Prestige
5.Tenet
6.Dunkirk
7.TDKR
8.Memento
9.Batman Begins
10.Insomnia
It’s not a bad list but I would make a few tweaks:
1. The Dark Knight
2. Memento
3. Dunkirk
4. Inception
5. The Prestige
6. Interstellar (sure there is cringey dialogue about love but the pros definitely outweigh it. As you said about Tenet, “It’s highs are higher and one hell of a ride.”
7. Batman Begins
8. Insomnia
9. Following
10. The Dark Knight Rises
11. Tenet (so many flaws. I won’t deny it’s fun but everything else doesn’t work for me and also his other films outcompete Tenet).
Should I watch Dunkirk?
totally.
Tenet has a great concept of portraying how confusing time travel would be, but its so confusing it deters the fans that arent die hard
Im am very sorry, I agree with this except, Interstellar should be the top, I mean it is very accurate to what we know about how the universe works, the music just hit different, and the special effects, I mean come on that thing is just INCREDIBLE.
I have only seen 5 Christopher Nolan movies and here's my ranking of them
1. The Dark Knight
2. Inception
3. The Dark Knight Rises
4. Batman Begins
5. Tenet
I love Tenet though...
Watch Interstellar its a masterpiece, my 2nd favourite after TDK
@@Hritik9000 It's in my watch list, I'll surely watch it in sometime
Currently I'm watching Game of Thrones
So how was Interstellar?
@@kartikpoojari22 havent watched it yet... Currently watching Breaking Bad then Better Call Saul... Then Matrix movies then Interstellar.
@@dudetheman06 you watch it yet?
Tenet is Nolan at his best, hot take.
I KEEP ON TRYNA TELL PEOPLE 😭😭😭😭
My List is similar
1. The Prestige 5/5
2. The Dark Knight 5/5
3. Tenet 5/5
4. Memento 4.5/5
5. Dunkirk 4/5
6. Inception 4/5
7. Batman Begins 4/5
8. The Dark Knight Rises 4/5
9. Interstellar 4/5
10. Insomnia 3.5/5
I think only Interstellar and TDKR are Nolan's remotely subpar movies. But because of their visuals and score, and the IMAX experience I would put them as 4/5.
For the Prestige, I find something new in every rewatch. And Tenet is just so cool
I could see how the prestige is number 1 for you. It’s a truly intriguing film. Completely agree on TDKR, it’s a complete mess
@@BlindTakes I read the Prestige novel by Christopher Priest. I appreciated the movie so much more because the story works so much better the way it's told in the movie. One of the few instances of the movie being better than the book
@@illustriousindividual1077 one of the VERY few instances when this happens. That’s why Nolan is so special
Glad you appreciate the prestige and tenet
My personal list:

What the fuck?
The ending of the Dark Knight Rises is literally one of the best endings ever
I was thinking as well the criticism of that made no sense at all bc the ending was fine idk what this guy was on about
Not sure how you can criticize the clunky expository dialogue of Interstellar but then put Tenet at 3. I feel like that movie was 70% exposition. But hey, everyone likes what they like
Are you condemning our legend or you complimenting him ??
Bro WTF
How the heck is Inception not number one????!!!! That was for sure his best film that Christopher Nolan has made
Disagree on that ranking but thanks for watching.
The Films in this list are all too good. At this point it is just preference.
My favorite one is interstellar though.
We are here . 1 Inception 2 Dark knight 3 Memento 4 The Prestige 5 Interstellar 6.............
Thank you for watching!
Batman Begins above Interstellar is wild. But I still watched the entire video, so that says something. Well done.
My top 5:
1. The Dark Knight
2. Inception
3. The Prestige
4. Interstellar
5. Tenet
I respect the list. Most people get really upset with me when I say I didn’t love interstellar but it just wasn’t for me.
I think the Dark Knight is the clear cut #1 no matter what
Put Batman Begins at 3, drop Prestige to 5
@@mikekenner9218 Prestige is awesome what are you talking about
In my opinion
11: Batman Begins
10: The Dark Knight Rises
9: Tenet
8: Dunkirk
7: Insomnia
6: Interstellar
5: The Dark Knight
4: Following
3: The Prestige
2: Inception
1: Memento
Memento is a winner! Thanks for watching.
The Prestige is Nolan's most underrated film. Inception is his best and Memento will go down as a cult classic.
My ranking has changed a lot since my first one but here’s how I’d rank his movies now
10. Insomnia
9. Dark knight rises
8. Batman begins
7. Dunkirk
6. Interstellar
5. Tenet
4. Memento
3. The prestige
2. Dark knight
1. Inception
Great list. Thanks for watching
@@BlindTakes thanks bro keep up with the good content
one of the best endings of all time The Dark Knight Rises
I’d have to disagree about the dark knight rises. I thought it was a phenomenal movie.
😂inception isn't even close to Hans' best score. Sure, Time is iconic and absolutely one of, if not his best composition, but that doesn't make the whole score his best. Intestellar has more ideas, is more original... Spirit is from back when he still explored thematic writing... overall there are plenty of scores he's written that are better, they just don't have the stand-out piece like Time. I could go into more details, but only if you're interested in my opinion and hearing some of the musical academic reasoning behind it...
My (albeit constantly changing) ranking for Hans Zimmer's scores is as follows right now, though I admit there are many scores I haven't listened to very much)
Interstellar
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
Top Gun Maverick
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Inception
Spirit (if it was longer, I'd have it above many of these entries, but as it stands, It's just a little short.
My personal list of songs is a little more straightforward though, doesn't change too much
Time
Run Free
No Time For Caution
Journey To The Line
Like a Dog Chasing Cars
Darkstar
Zoosters Breakout
Up Is Down
Day One
Cornfield Chase
Pauls' Dream
@@josiahsimmons9866 Love the specificity here and thank you for watching! Kinda surprised that you put Top Gun as high as you did.
@@BlindTakes Thanks! I'm an aspiring media composer, so I really try to pick apart and analyze scores to see things in more detail and specificity.
😂Top Gun is likely more temporary. It's a really nice return to thematic writing, but admittedly it's not the most groundbreaking score. But, it's good nonetheless and highly memorable. I walked out of the theater whistling one of the tunes and with a giant grin on my face. if a score does that, it at least deserves a top spot temporarily.
@@josiahsimmons9866 one of the best in theater experiences in a long long time.
I don't know what people are talking about i hear bane perfectly
Of all that I've seen:
1. Interstellar
2.Tenet
3. Inception
4. Oppenheimer
5. Dunkirk
6. The Dark Knight
7. Batman Begins
8. The Dark Knight Rises
I'm still watching the rest of which I've missed out works of his. I'll add it in here after watching em all.
The more the video went and the higher I realized tenet was going loved it
Gotta love some tension! Thanks for watching!
thought it was a decent list but putting tenet at #3 is absolutely braindead
Seriously, Interstellar at 8. Have you really seen movies for Cinematic Experience. The thing that separates Interstellar from other Nolan movies is that connection and love for father and daughter and why would the dialogues would be wrong as it is true that love transcends between dimensions. Interstellar is the most accurate movie that has been specified by many scientists and it was also coordinated by Kip Thorne. Interstellar gives the best Cinematic Experience that takes us through space, affection, outstanding visuals, suspense and love. Interstellar cannot be compared with other movies. So try to support this film and get this movie the fame that it deserves...♥️
The Prestige is his masterpiece

Dark knight rises‘ ending one of the best endings ever. Bane’s voice not stupid is so creative and iconic. There are lots of nonsense in whole comic book universe till Batman recover in that prison, so you need to skip that part. Your name is great by the way, it perfectly suits you. Because you can’t see anything.

You're the very first person I have EVER heard say that the ending to the Dark Knight trilogy was bad.
Just thought you should know how much of a shitty, and minority, take that is.
Think you deserve that for attempting to link the Batman franchise with Game of Thrones....
Insomnia being one this list is a crime but tenet being number three is based as fuck

Interstellar at 8? Clicking off video. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but you my friend are wrong.
Interstellar was amazing!! The first movie I remember that they sold Unlimited views ever in the theater!!
Glad you liked tenet, all 11 are in my 75 favorites but I'd do it like this. I'm not usually this liberal with ratings but I honestly put nolan as the 5th best director ever and my favorite. This is not the order I favor them, just ranking them by quality

@@BlindTakes yeah anything starting at 3 I shuffle a lot. by the way good video. All of nolans films are definitely an experience
You made interstellar number 8 on purpose to get us all fired up. Interstellar is number 1, best movie ever!!
How on earth do you say Dark Knight rises is so bad yet its the highest grossing of his films. Sometimes fans don't need to critique everything to death, what is this narrative that Banes voice is bad?

You are right the dark knight is objectively the best Nolan movie
Completely agree. Thanks for watching!

Put Interstellar at 8th is a crime 🤯
better update your list! Oppenheimer deserves 2nd or third position!
Video dropping soon!
For me its 1-Momento, 2 The Prestige, 3 interstellar, 4 The Dark Knight, not saw the others but and dead last in 10th place Tenet as its awful and I refuse to believe its a Nolan movie😂
“OPPENHEIMER” Baby!
Video drops tomorrow
TDK is my personal favorite, but I'm optimistic that'Oppenheimer' might change that.
Where is following
Tenet over Inception 😹😹😹😹
What!!?
Why did he rank Tenet so high!!?
I mean it’s an ambitious movie, but it’s not THAT great.
You shouldn’t have ranked it that high especially above Inception.
The Dark Knight rises was a masterpiece Tenet was excellent visually but had a really bad screenplay and sound design unfortunately
The reason I would put the Dark Knight no1 is mainly because of Heath ledger's performance as the joker.
Agreed
Christopher Nolan fan boys would choose The Dark Knight as their favourite and not Memento.
“Why so serious”
All movies of Christopher Nolan are top 1 for me... i don't focus that much on the dialogues that this was cringy and this was weird...I don't care if i understand the movie or not.... if a movie makes me feel my heartbeat it's the best.... i just don't care about rest.... all Nolan's films best... not watched tenet yet but still best coz its Nolan... ofc there are exceptions to these but not a single nolan film....
Oppenheim left me speechless
I love Cain Voice 😢
Swap interstellar with Tenet and I'd say you got a pretty good list
Wrong.
1. The Dark Knight
2. Inception
3. Oppenheimer
4. Interstellar
5. The Dark Knight Rises
6. Dunkrik
7. Momento
8. Batman Bengins
9. The Prestige
I've tried to understand Inception watching it up to half an hour in then starting again as I can't get my head round it then watching the whole thing and kind of half understanding it to a point then getting taken over by the next scene as I'm slightly lost by the scene before. I've tried winding it back several times and then watching it again and I even thought it must be me so took an IQ test and scored 105. So nothing wrong there lol, what am I missing out, why can't I understand it. I just find it really complicated and it just gets harder to understand for me as the movie goes on. I hate it because of this and I hate the fact others understand it and i don't. I'd love for you to put me out of my misery young fella and tell me what I'm missing. Maybe I'm just an old fart.
