archizzy 09/27/25 9:55:08 AM #2:	Im not going to rank them all. A few I havent seen. Ill say this though. As a home theatre junkie I love The Dark Knight even as someone who isnt really big on Batman stuff (though I love the Arkham video games) because the audio is on another level. The LFE in that movie is spectacular. Also I think The Prestige doesnt get enough attention. Great movie but one of those that is great for a one time watch but totally isnt the same once you have seen it once. Im not big into sci-fi stuff so stuff people go crazy for like Inception just didnt wow me or resonate with me. Wasnt into Interstellar either. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

GreatnessGuru 09/28/25 6:36:22 AM #41:	Glob posted... Why? Its a brilliant film. I guess while I like it, I think many are better. And some of the things that The Prestige did with its tone and atmosphere, intricate plots and non linear narrative, acting and characters were done better in Inception, Interstellar and Oppenheimer. I guess for me, I see the potential of his film making skill in The Prestige, but he fully realises it later. With the exception of Tenet. That's clearly a movie where he had free reign and no one questioned him during the writing, direction or editing. <cite>GreatnessGuru posted [p:986558033] in My ranking...

UnfairRepresent 09/28/25 6:44:38 AM #42:	Yeah I have to push back at the "It's a movie, who cares if it makes no sense. How did it make you FEEEEEL!?" there's a grain of truth to that. Suspension of disbelief and pushing drama will always be a thing But when characters and actions and cause and effect in a movie make no sense then it's much harder to "feel" anything towards it. It effects the viewing experience. If Connor MacLeod got his head cut off in the 5th scene of Highlander, then the movie just continued and he came back in the next scene with his head back on and it was never explained. It would ruin the entire movie becasue it makes no sense --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:986558063] in My ranking...

Suspension of disbelief and pushing drama will always be a thingBut when characters and actions and cause and effect in a movie make no sense then it's much harder to "feel" anything towards it. It effects the viewing experience.If Connor MacLeod got his head cut off in the 5th scene of Highlander, then the movie just continued and he came back in the next scene with his head back on and it was never explained.

And some of the things that The Prestige did with its tone and atmosphere, intricate plots and non linear narrative, acting and characters were done better in Inception, Interstellar and Oppenheimer. I guess for me, I see the potential of his film making skill in The Prestige, but he fully realises it later. With the exception of Tenet. That's clearly a movie where he had free reign and no one questioned him during the writing, direction or editing. I respectfully disagree. I get much more out of watching The Prestige than any of the other films you mentioned, and Ive watched it many times and introduced it to many other people. Outside of The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and (to a lesser extent) Memento, I dont feel most of his films are good enough to watch a second time. <cite>Glob posted [p:986558102] in My ranking...
