Best Christopher Nolan Film?

[IamStryker]

Oh bullshit. Prestige had a solid plot, some people might just've misunderstood some scenes in that movie and that made it confusing to them.

"Muuuuuuuurrrrpppphhh!!!!!"

I liked it but you have to admit it was pretty weird.

 

[Lights Out 101]

It's gotta be TDK followed by Interstellar. Why did Interstellar get so much hate anyway? I love that movie.

It's one of the rare movies where the jumping timeline actually works in the movie's favor - very clever on Nolan's part.

 

[Lights Out 101]

The prestige for sure. Blew me away the first time i saw it, and i can rewatch it every couple years and enjoy it every time.

Insertion would probably be my second choice

Is that some obscure porno he made?

The Prestige > Memento > Batman Begins

DK and DKR not top 3. Maybe not even top 5.

 

[BayAreaGuy]

Prestige, TDK, Insomnia, Dunkirk

 

[IamStryker]

Dark Knight is easily top three.

I really like The Prestige

Might not be his best movie but its my favorite

That was the movie that made me look at Hugh Jackman as a real actor

 

[RoryFan]

1. Prestige
2. Dark Knight
3. Interstellar
4. Dunkirk
5. Batman Begins

Haven't watched them all, but most of them. And I would probably consider Memento my favorite. It's certainly the movie of his I've watched the most times.

 

[KOQ24]

Inception is his masterpiece.

after that...

The Dark Knight
The Prestige
Memento
Following
The Dark Knight rises
Insomnia (it's a remake, so it gets no originality points)
Dunkirk
Batman Begins


Interstellar (Fuck that ending!)

 

[AgentSmecker]

Memento and Batfag Begins are the only Nolan movies I enjoyed. Well I guess TDK was decent too but it was really Heath Ledger who carried that one himself.

After Inception I grew weary of Nolan's schtick and I now make it a point to avoid his movies like the plague.

What's wrong with it?

I got into it a bit in the Dunkirk thread

I was pretty pissed here, having just gotten back from seeing the 70mm showing of it

Also got into it a bit more as the thread went on

Suffice to say, I think Nolan is too polite or too much of a puss or both to make a great war film

 

[Goodfella86]

The Prestige def. TDK via split decision

 

[saugeye killah]

I loved the Batmans, particularly TDK, but voted Insomnia. Really underappreciated film.

What makes a good war film?

....

You're gonna say "war," aren't you?

 

[Bounz]

batman begins definitely

 

[snakedafunky]

It's the Dark Night for me. All the Batman movies were good. Its just that for a comic book movie that was such a great one.

LOL stupid auto correct.

If insertion really was my second choice, i wouldn't have kids.

Besides the normal things that just make any film good? I'd say in particular with a war film, I want to see the extremes of humanity - the ugly harshness, portrayed in a way that feels real, the insane absurdity of it all, as well as the moments of desperate compassion, and even heroism that occur; and also the overall military gameplan & tactical aspects playing out, depending on the particular story being told.

For me, Dunkirk had only the last of those, and not done particularly well at all. Out of that whole film, I'd like to have a cut of just the Tom Hardy dogfight sequences, just that slice of the story by itself; that would be the prime rib, would make a great little 20 minute short film. I could do without the rest of it.

For perspective on my taste, I'd say off the top of my head some of my favorite war films, in no particular order: Saving Private Ryan, The Pianist, Apocalypse Now, Bullet In The Head, Das Boot, Full Metal Jacket, Black Hawk Down, Grave Of The Fireflies, The Deer Hunter, Windtalkers, The Bridge On The River Kwai, Platoon... as I type this out, I realize there are a shitload, it's a great genre.
