Current Events > Where are the good Christopher Nolan movies?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Because that's not how I'd describe any of the movies I've seen from him so far, which is a shame because I really like the knowledge he has as a director. Like the type of equipment he wants to use for a given film, the way he plans his movies out, etc. He's definitely an intelligent dude when it comes to the field he's in.

I still need to see Memento, Dunkirk, and Insomnia. I've heard good things about those, at least.

TDK and the Prestige were mid. I actually straight up just hate TDKR lol. But I'd definitely be willing to give Memento a shot one day.

The Prestige is pretty good but TDKR is his masterpiece

Meh. Never cared for his Batman trilogy.

wtf? TDKR is easily the weakest of the TDK trilogy.

By default yes. Hell, I like Batman & Robin more than those movies.
Batman Begins is a complete snoozefest that I can never finish, and The Dark Knight is just fine, I guess. But at least they aren't the trash fire that is The Dark Knight Rises.

Inception

They are too dark to see

Interstellar was good. At least, as long as MATT DAMON isn't on the screen.

All of them you uncultured swine

I really liked Dunkirk

Oh so you ARE trolling. Got it.

I enjoyed Tenet as a whole despite everyone hating it. It was well shot and the score was excellent. Everyone was pretty solid in it and sure, the story was a convoluted mess but it was still fun to watch.

Durr anyone who has an opinion I don't like is trolling.

That shit is so annoying. B&R certainly isn't a good movie but I sure as hell find it more fun and entertaining than the Nolan films.

Tenet is the worst movie Ive ever seen

I don't think you've seen that many movies then...

I don't know. I kind of rolled my eyes when I saw that the main character of Tenet was called "The Protagonist".
Reminded me of that piece of shit Matthew Vaughn film Layer Cake with Daniel Craig.

The Prestige is his best one IMO. But yeah, TDKR is awful.

yeah he seems super cool actually and i like interviews with him but i've never really liked his films, aside from his first one was kind of neat i recall, and i do enjoy batman begins and tdk when i'm in the mood. dunkirk was also all right. i haaaaaaaated the prestige though

Memento, The Prestige, and Inception are all 10/10

I will agree there. Especially at that scene whens he all this is my story. It was dumb but whatever. I also just really like John David Washington, he was so damn good in BlacKkKlansman.

BlacKKKlansman is so great.

in terms of actually being enjoyable it really is. Ive seen movies with worse production, acting, etc. but they at least were marginally more fun or charming

this drove me insane. such a fucking smug movie

Pretty sure the Dark Knight trilogy are the only movies of his Ive seen.

So, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

@kitt

wtf Layer Cake is a great fucking movie

how dare you

Interstellar was him right? That's the best one

Dunkirk is alright, The Prestige is probably his best overall.

The Following and Interstellar are the only ones I like without too much reservation. TDK trilogy loses a few points for being too...like...philosophically adolescent. I haven't seen Memento.

My dislike for that movie is mostly on me. I've seen a bunch of his movies and became a huge fan of Matthew Vaughn before I saw it. Including Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, which he produced, but those honestly feel more like his movies than Guy Ritchie's.

So I went into Layer Cake expecting his over the top style from the other films he worked on. I was super disappointed to learn that it was a really genetic, gritty crime film that took itself seriously.

Interstellar is my personal fav

Memento
Batman Begins
The Prestige
The Dark Knight
Inception

Those are the ones I like. Interstellar and Dunkirk both have their moments for sure, but less good overall imo. Interstellar was very memorable but it got too silly.
