The dark knight is definitely his best film but if you ask me out of the CBM movies No film of his touched me like the way Interstellar did, god knows why critics werent raving a lot about it like his other work. For me its a cinematic masterpiece that blends sci-fi and emotions perfectly.

People say Nolan's movies are hard to understand and complicated but the only thing Nolan wants from his audience is their 100% concentration and he deserves it for the insane amount of hardwork he puts on every project...

I feel that ‘The Prestige’ is thoroughly underrated Nolan movie..It’s a masterpiece often obscured by other great Nolan movies

Hans Zimmer plays such a huge part in these movies, the scores are just unbelievable…

Interstellar for me is the definition of a perfect movie a unique story, compelling screenplay, excellent direction and soul crushing music 🎵🎵 everything was so perfect that you literally feel you've been through a space adventure

The fact that Nolan's "worst" is better than most filmmaker's best is just crazy. Man doesn't have a single "bad" film in his filmography.

Interstellar is what you truly call a sci-fi movie, its just amazing and also it doesn't shy away from showing the emotional sides of its characters which is rare in the genre

There is no worst to best There is only good - better and the best ❤️

The dark knight was probably the most influential film by Nolan, personally speaking, I was fascinated and scared as to the perfection of that character of joker by Nolan. A text book kind of character it was. 🔥🔥

There can't be any movie like the prestige. The breakout movie for nolan captivating everyone around the world

People don't realize what Nolan was able to achieve with Dunkirk. He basically invented a new editing technique where he not only intercuts between different scenes but different timelines of the same place with same characters but at a different time of the day with different perspectives. The fact that he was able to achieve this, which looks impossible on paper, without it feeling jarring is an achievement in itself.

As a 16 year old watching Inception in the theatre, i was blown away by the sheer scale and storytelling. Became a cinephile after that film. It left a huge impact on me

Jimmy is slowly touching the algorithm which can hook it's audience throughout the video 😍😂

For me, Interstellar will always be number 1. It's more than a movie for me, an experience of a lifetime.

My favourite is and will always be Interstellar. I was so emotionally invested at the protagonist’s journey and was baffled by the visuals. The fifth dimension portrayal was breathtaking.. connecting all the dots❤️

I have watched every Nolan Movie except Following. This man leaves you in awe and shock at the same time but for me, what defines him is The Prestige. He literally tells you he is the magician. The twist was right in front of us but we were all behaving like Angier. The best dialogue for me was from Memento. ‘How am I supposed to heal if I can’t feel time?’

Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese, for me, have to be the prime reasons on why I fell in love with Hollywood movies. They truly made my childhood and teenage years special! To be really honest, The Prestige isn't appreciated enough! SPOILERS:- The fact that we almost get the feeling that Christian Bale plays Fallon as well, suggesting the 'twin brother' concept, but we still hold onto that thought until the last reveal. Just like Michael Caine says, 'You want to be fooled.' Simply mind-blowing 🤯❤️

I loved Interstellar and the sound design is just marvelous in that movie.. But I sometimes wonder what type of movie Joker would have been had it been directed by Nolan

There is no best or worst when it comes to Nolan's works. It's just a case of what resonates with you the most. As someone who is fascinated by science and it's almost magical theories, the likes of Interstellar and Tenet would always be up there for me, but that doesn't mean his other films are "bad".

The amount of efforts and attention to detail he puts in each and every movie is absolutely insane!! For sure the best director of the 21st Century for the originality he brings on the big screen!

Oppenheimer may become Nolan's greatest film but for me Dark knight and intersteller will be his magnum-opus.

As a matter of fact, Christopher Nolan left Warner Bros because of the difference between them regarding HBO max, shows that how passionate, persistent and stubborn he is to make a cinema that should be enjoyed on big screen rather than just do a project and release it wherever you want. Warners did lose a gem. Their loss is Universal Pictures gain. Atleast they'll have a good credible director to bank on rather than that cash grab "Fast" series.

I think for me Insomnia is an underrated gem. Even after being a remake, it actually takes the stake higher. The way Nolan used the Sunlight as a character in the whole movie was actually jaw dropping. The chemistry between the two cops, the worried Hilary Swank, who idolises Al Pacino, but upon getting to know his deeds, and she falls into a trap of thoughts about good and bad is worth applauding. Also another best part of the film was how, Robin Williams played the negative role. Adding to it was the cinematography. The bridge scene, the boat sequence and the last car ride of Al Pacino were some of the standouts. I think, I saw this film after I saw Memento, so I wanted to see something which had twists, but it gave me something much more. Insomnia is a rare gem for me. ❤

One thing about Nolan is that no matter how invested you are on big screen, there will be moments when your mind starts wondering, in awe of, how this scene would have been executed.. These are the times I wish I could travel to another city just to watch a movie in a 70 mm IMAX ..

For me personally interstellar is truly a masterpiece. Everything about the Film touches you. The relationships between the characters and how the survival instincts can push humans on an edge, the extensive research done on black holes and worm holes, the graphics, direction and most importantly Hans Zimmers score was a perfect blend. I have watched this movie a number of times and still marvel at the way it was executed.

Christopher Nolan's films have always intrigued me with their intricate storytelling and mind-bending concepts. It's interesting to see how some of his works, like 'The Prestige' and 'Insomnia,' have been relatively underrated in discussions about his filmography. These hidden gems offer unique perspectives on obsession, duality, and the human psyche. As a fan, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to witness the collaboration between Nolan and the talented Andrew Garfield. Garfield's versatility as an actor, combined with Nolan's visionary storytelling, could create an extraordinary cinematic experience. Although it's important not to make direct comparisons, just as Nolan revolutionized Hollywood cinema, I believe that directors like Lokesh, with their distinct approach and potential, have the power to transform Indian cinema. It's exciting to think about the impact Lokesh could make, not by competing with Nolan, but by bringing his own unique vision to the table."

For me Interstellar is and will be Nolan's best work to date. Interstellar is cinematic brilliance at its best. Hans Zimmer's genius makes it even more compelling. Dark knight comes very close. If you have witnessed this spectacle in IMAX then you'll know what I'm talking about. Not to mention the space scenes were shot using props and minimal use of CGI will make you wonder how does Nolan do that. And the emotion that the film carries with respect to its characters! Cooper and murph's parenting dilemma, Cooper and Mann's fight for survival, Cooper and Brand's arc and not to mention the scientific accuracy. It just propels the film to such dizzying heights which compels you to think and introspect. What a masterpiece! My favourite Hollywood film of all time.

Dark knight is the best CBM ever made. That final scene, " He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, THE DARK KNIGHT".

I still know the feelings when interstellar came out. Before that, my non-STEM friends thought that I was weird, but after that, they could see the beauty of physics in the way that I saw and the only reason for that was that Nolan creates these spectacles, which people talk about not understanding, but the main drawing point is his ability for those who don't understand the movie to be motivated enough to give it a couple of rematches as well.

For me personally Nolan's best would be Interstellar followed by Inception and TDK. Interstellar was just extremely magnificent. Still agree with the list generally. P.S: Prestige is still extremely underrated for how good of a movie it is.

My fav is The Dark Knight but I feel Memento is the most path-breaking film he has ever made - with a low budget compared to other films. Insomnia is his weakest film - Following has a rich subtext and probably on par with Insomnia. Memento is a mind-boggling achievement - in terms of narrative structure, themes of memory, guilt, and revenge intertwined in such a way that no one could predict what happened. It is one movie that puts the viewer in the position of the amnesiac patient coz even we don't know what's going on. the murder at the start and the denouement at the end is heart-breaking - how the main character's memory makes him go on a revenge spree while other characters use this trait for their selfish benefits. It is the first movie that makes us think about the fallibility of our own memories and how they shape our lives. I can actually point out many aspects of its brilliance in how the screenplay played it out - how he superimposed his own forgetfulness in another character when narrating the story of the fat man and his wife. It is tragic, heart-wrenching, and positively, one of the genre-defining thrillers ever made. Interstellar for all its brilliance is lost in exposition in some parts. The Prestige and The Inception are on par imho. My ranking: The Dark Knight Memento The Prestige Inception The Batman Begins Interstellar The Dark Knight Rises Tenet Dunkirk Following/ Insomnia He has a great short film called Doodlebug which is astounding in itself - starring the same actor who is in Following

It feels good to have lived in a generation to see the films directed by Nolan. Most of his films are mind bending, but amazing at the same time. I hope Oppenheimer also wins hearts of the masses

For me Inception and Interstellar are just beyond perfection. How can a director get the emotional quotient of a movie (interstellar) so well even when the movie is so much into the science?

I have always loved and appreciated The Prestige a lot, I always feel it sort of gets lost among his other big budget blockbusters, but on a personal level it’s my favourite Nolan film, with an outstanding performance by Hugh Jackman, he as an actor shone in the film at a time when he was mostly popular for playing Wolverine

Need more of this please.... Please turn this into a weekly series with different directors

Christopher Nolan & Denis Villeneuve are two directors who do stunned me every time. I hope you will make a Denis Villeneuve movie list too. I hope Indian audiences should know him more as they knew Christopher Nolan. The two modern maestro of film making.

I am not sure where I read this Post but there was a theory of comparing Nolans movies to Infinity stones. Momento - Mind Batman - Power The Prestige - Soul Inception - Reality Interstellar - Space Tenet - Time But that made me realise how diverse his movies are and yet every movie feels like a masterpiece.

Prestige is still my favourite Nolan movie. It just doesn't compare to anything else I've ever seen.. but I guess you can make that argument for most of Nolan's movies❤️ That ending though.. It still gives me the shivers thinking about it everytime!

Great list. I like how you clearly explain why each movie is where it is on your list. My top 3 Nolan movies are "Inception", "The Prestige", and "Dunkirk". Eagerly waiting for "Oppenheimer".

Someone please send me link of Momento! I've wished to watch it for years but I literally can't find it anywhere!

The climax of interstellar where he meets murph is just spectacular and a tear jerker moment.

I kinda disliked how Nolan used to place his shots in th early stages of his career and there used to be a lot of exposition in movies like inception etc which i love by the way. But it was Dunkirk for me which ensured that he's easily one of the greatest of all time where the movie was a great example of visual storytelling.

He revived the superhero genre and DC with the Dark knight trilogy. And his movies are visually stunning & use of practical effects is top notch. Another Great factor in his movie is the soundtrack. Hans Zimmer often gives his best with Nolan and even Ludwig Goransson was superb with Tenet.

Memento is my all time favourite, just something about that movie makes it one of my top 5, which I cannot distinguish between: Memento, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Dunkirk, The Prestige. Inception is close behind these movies to me. Fingers crossed for Oppenheimer! So much potential!

Tenet isn't mid film it's spectacular film with it's cinematography and storytelling. It's structure is complicated many people didn't even understand it🙂

My list: 1. The Prestige 2. Inception 3. Batman Begins 4. The Dark Knight 5. Memento 6. Insomnia 7. Interstellar 8. Dark Knight Rises 9. Following 10. Tenet 11. Dunkirk

Christopher Nolan is my Most Favourite Director His way of storytelling is so fascinating and mind-blowing From Getting into subconsciousness to going into a wormhole to making you surprised with illusions to giving a breathtaking visual feat to many more. His work is truly exceptional

*Wow! I was just checking out some good Christopher Nolan movies and you uploaded this😄😄*

Prestige is the best film that Christopher Nolan has ever created because of the multiple layers of story telling, the more I revisit the film, more new things I discover & that's the greatness of this film & director, beside this film is a perfect blend of a magnum opus with a strong emotional core, It's a must watch for all cinelovers👍

One of Nolan's most amazing and non talked about work is his short film available on KZfaq is Doodlebug

I'm in the rare group of people who saw Insomnia and The Prestge without realizing that it was made by Nolan. Both films became part of my favourites ever, but it never really occured to me who the director of these films were. It was after Inception that brand Nolan really took hold of my mind and I looked what other films he had made beside the Dark Knight trilogy. I was so shocked and felt so stupid that I never checked who the made those films.

remember watching inception and dark knight in 2019 , shared it with my friends at school the next day , then having ledgit discussions on them while we had classmates who liked ae Dil hai mushkil 🙂

Interstellar tops for me. It's an experience. Gonna watch it again in theatres tomorrow. The emotions, music, Mathew's acting and the concept, everything is perfect.

Inception will always be mind boggling for me, it was very ahead of its time for me as I was regular bollywood movie freak.

Batman Begins - I believe is the reason I and many others got invested in superhero movies. It also brought a template where a superhero movies need not be just be a struggle between two super powered individuals but there could be an underlying theme as well.

I still get goosebumps when I recall the scene "These us musq"! The movie was spectacular even without watching it in Cinema hall!

What I have observed over the years that Nolan's films might focus on Science fiction but the core of the films are always based on humans inter personal relations , love , friendship, betrayal, agony, hope etc.

Nolan , Rajamouli , Hirani , Tarantino are the few director who are blessed with no dud movies and all are one way or another never gave a flop movie..

Inception hands down my favorite Nolan movie. Just the concept that he was able to adapt from the book, and being able to break it down to the audiences in a way they can understand, absolutely fantastic film.

For TENET, I will recommend few of the explanation videos on KZfaq. I saw this animated explanation for TENET scenes, and when I finally understood the logic, I was blown off by the fact how were they conceived at first place! ❤️🤯

11. Following 10.Tenet 9. Insomnia 8. Dark Night Rises 7. Memento 6. Batman Begins 5. The Prestige 4. Dunkirk 3. Interstellar 2. Inception 1. The Dark Knight

Nolan has mixed science, art,and commercial aspect so well that u can call the project anything,"a fine piece of art" , " a scientific marvel " or what not

Tenet is the classic example of one of those films which are very high concept and the makers were so in awe of that they forget basic things like interesting characters, building stakes, emotional connect etc. RYAN GEORGE’s tenet pitch meeting perfectly sums up that movie.

I had my list ready before watching this video. Enjoyed a lot. Request you to please make a video on your best Nolan movie moments! Would be another interesting watch!

Tenet is one of my favorite films of his. The concept to me seemed so cool and the more I watched the more I sort of understood the film. I really enjoyed that movie.

The emotional distance was probably the weakest point of Tenet. Even his other complex movies like Inception and Interstellar had emotional connectivity. Cooper crying watching his daughter grow up missing there important years still makes me tear up

Where can i find all movies of nolan?

Jimmy I'm one of your older subscribers. I would love to listen to you in on camera, not pre written (which I am assuming) review. As your admirer I loved when you are talking on camera in various collabs. The usual reviews you do can sometimes become monotonous in their delivery. You sure are good looking, So eye candy wouldn't hurt anyone as well 😉 I hope you read this and give it a thought.

Fun fact: Nolan made the literal math equation for his Black Hole scene for his Interstaler movie. Even it was so correct that even the scientist concluded his black hole would be the real one. As prior that no actual picture was available for Black Hole only it was existed only in math.

For me Batman begins is very underrated. Mainly due to the quality and performances in it's sequel, The Dark knight. The origin story of Batman, the most complex of super heroes and how he finds inspiration, chooses his symbol, the motivation behind his choices, struggle with managing his image as Bruce Wayne and his responsibility as Batman, his relationship with Alfred and his evolution into a legendary superhero is unique and riveting. It's a classic and despite so many quality Marvel movies and few DC movies, and local Indian superhero movies like Kkrish and Minnal Murali, Batman Begins is probably the best ever superhero origin movie.

Al Pacino’s role in Insomnia is just awesome ❤

The best part i love about Nolan is the element of surprise and out of the box innovative stories. That's not possible with historical dramas like Dunkirk and Oppenheimer

"The Prestige" has to be the most underated of all the Nolan's masterpieces.

a 20 years from now and i can still guarantee that interstellar would be my all time favorite movie

Hey Jammy.. I got one question for you… please do reply . what is the point in making movie like “Memento” which most of the audience can’t understand when the watch in theatre or 1st time in in any platform online . I like Nolan’s all movies except “Memento” . After watching memento I have to search on KZfaq what exactly the sequence of movie and how it is directed and how to follow 😅

Although the cast and everything makes The Dark Knight most of the crowds favorite and rightly so it is an impeccable movie. But I think Nolan is most comfortable when he gets to play with the elements such as time. Although Tenet was sort of a misfire that required us audience to be prepared with notes and what not. For me Inception was way ahead of anything he has ever done it that terms and scale.

1. Dunkirk 2. Memento 3. The Dark Knight Trilogy (2,3,1) 4. Inception 5. Insomnia 6. The Prestige 7. Interstellar 8. Tenet 9. Following

As Men of Culture said 1st I would go to watch Barbie then I would go to watch Oppenheimer because as they said "Methi Kheer last main khaya jata hai ❤"

Thanks for doing this video and now that you have done this, let me ask a quick favor, next week when you review Oppenheimer, quick tell us somewhere in the review at which Number would you place Oppenheimer at, will be interested to see if it breaks into top 5 0:02

'Inception' was the first work that I watched from his filmography. and I was transfixed. and TDK & Prestige are like the trio of GOAT for me. Best thing is he takes audience's experience into account & involves them like a true magician. I'm a fanboy 😁🤗😀

I showed my mom all of Nolan's movies. Surprisingly her favorite one was - The Prestige

finally someone who appreciated Dunkirk that people failed to do so even until now. A masterpiece!

Got the list, will rewatch the movies from rank 11 to rank 1 over the weekends, thanks Jammy.

The only thing I'd like to change in this list is that I'd place inception at first, just for it's unique concept and engaging story. It's a masterpiece

Wasn't "Dilwale" Nolan's film

Interstellar > Inception

I agree with all of them; I had not seen Batman Begins, and I saw The Dark Knight because we had to kill a few hours before our train to Bangalore for a team project. And we could not fathom what we just saw, it was peak cinema and every dialogue, soundtrack and story line kept us on the toes. Imagine watching this movie without reading any reviews or knowing anything about Nolan, just going in thinking, let's pass time with a good old super hero movie. I can still vividly remember some of those fantastic moments the movie took us through and it gets better when I play "Like a Dog Chasing Cars" by Zimmer. I later saw it in IMAX dome at Wadala when it came out, glad I got to see it before they shut down the dome. Haven't missed any of Nolan's movies ever since.

Agree with your point on Tenet. Dunkirk/Interstellar movies had a complicated story line but at the end of the movie , I had a satisfaction of watching a spectacle eventhough I didnot fully understand some of the science explained but Tenet was painfully tiring to watch. Someone needs a rewind button in the theatres to pause and then go back and understand a scene and move forward. Hopefully oppenheimer is not that complicated that one needs youtube to understand it

The dark knight and inception :- "THAT IS WHY HE IS THE GOAT THE GOAT"

The Screenplay of *The Prestige* is the best of all. It makes you feel like you are literally sitting in front of a magician and don't want to take your eye off the show cause if you do so, you will miss the trick.

Thanks for information

For me, Nolan's most underrated movie is Prestige... It's not only the director's but also overall criminally underrated 🔥🔥🔥 It captures human emotions like no other... Bale and Jackman played their part brilliantly... especially bale (hats off) It's personally my favorite... Mad mad respect 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️

The choice between Dark Knight and inception on who is the number 1 is actually the hardest choice. Both gets better and better when rewatching

I have almost tried to watch tenent more than 4-5 time but still my brain can't handle the screenplay of that film.... My personal fav of nolan is dunkirk and prestige and as Batman fan dark Knight trilogy is always close to my heart 🖤

Great video as usual but I'd really appreciate if you could review the recently released Marathi Film 'Baipan Bhari Deva'. After a long time have I found a film that manages to tie in so many storylines and characters in a realistic manner while also staying funny and sensitive at the same time. Highly recommend it!!

Tenet is severely underrated. It was suppose to have a sequel where the protagonist meets Neil for the first time. It was already told in the movie that he was only half way there. If not for Warner Bros we would have a first Nolan sequel for a non superhero movie. Tenet is so underrated.

If Cinema is ART. Then Nolan is the TRUE ARTIST. ❤

"We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are, I am not different. Now where was I" Memento won my heart with it's last dialogue.

Now that the Oppenheimer is on the theaters. Where does it make in your list?

That really warmed me up for Oppenheimer.
