    You know Nolan is really one of the goats when every ranking list is completely different. His filmography is so diverse while also staying true to his distinct style. My top 5 constantly changes and to me that just validates more why I love his movies. My all time favorite director and a big part of my obsession with film. Great video man!

    Incredible List. Inception had a massive impact on me the first time I watched it. It's the first movie that had me in a tailspin by the end of it. almost taunting me to rewatch it to unlock more of its secrets that had befuddled me the first time around. It seemed like a movie that just came out of nowhere in 2010 and was like nothing I had ever seen before. No one in my family or circle of friends was excited to see this film besides me because I am a massive science and physics dork. They all just dismissed it and said it was too confusing for them to make sense of it all. The Film's concept and Soundtrack in particular has stuck in my mind ever since and truly is some of Zimmer's finest work. And even to this day it is my favourite film of all time. It really deepened my appetite for similar mindbending science fiction masterpieces like Mr Nobody, Donnie Darko, Predestination, Coherence and Vanilla Sky

    12. Tenet. Just doesn’t work for me at all.
    11. Following
    10. Insomnia
    9. Interstellar. I love a few scenes and think it looks beautiful, but the third act just falls apart, Anne Hathaway is cringe, and the message of “the end of humanity is humanity” doesn’t sit right with me. That we are the answer to ourselves instead of something bigger. I just personally find that to be bleak.
    8. Dunkirk. Beautiful ending, but for this to be his shortest film, I found it to be a chore to watch. Just plot happening the entire time and sometimes it feels dull when the characters don’t have much of a personality.
    7. Batman Begins. It’s a great movie, but it doesn’t feel as ambitious and exciting as Rises and I didn’t like some of the performances, especially Katie Holmes.
    6. The Dark Knight Rises. This movie ranks higher than Begins because it felt like it was trying to say so much. It’s relevant socially and politically, and feels realistic in the way that humans behave when a city collapses like this. I love the ending, as well. I just love that Nolan was trying to say so much with this movie.
    5. Memento
    4. Oppenheimer
    3. The Dark Knight
    2. The Prestige
    1. Inception

    I don’t think tenet gets enough love. I appreciate the good things you said about it and it is your opinion of course, but dumb and cringy is the last thing I would use to describe it. Quite honestly, how else was Nolan supposed to do it? You complain that it’s too confusing, but you complain that the explanations are too cringy. How is it coming from the future cringy? Also, while I can see the argument for the characters being dull and hard to attach to, I just disagree. They are very likable to me and the whole Kat sator thing was fascinating to me. Also the story is anything but boring. It’s a war between the present and the future. What’s not to like? Thanks for shouting out my man Ludwig though. He is for sure the Hans Zimmer of the future for that track and Oppenheimer.

      I appreciate the different opinions! I just think I love the overall concept of Tenet at the moment versus actually loving the film itself, and I think the characters maybe feel a little too bland (whether that be an intentional choice on Nolan's part of not with naming the protagonist "The Protagonist"). Maybe the future me will get that entropy effect and turn my score into a 5/5, but I just have my doubts at the moment lol. I appreciate the comment though and love your list!

      Logan and Batman(2022) are superior movies compared to TDK. Matt Reeves made an authentic batman movie in which batman is a fucking detective which Nolan tends to forget. Nolan's Batman movies are style over substance and void of any logic and common sense. Is he really expecting us to believe that Hong Kong police walked 20-25 floors of stairs within 1.5-2 minutes in TDK 🤣🤣.
