Very hard thing to list. I can really only rank his films by their level of strength more than any particular order. I've yet to see Following still.

Strongest - Inception, The Dark Knight, Memento, Batman Begins
Mid-Level - Interstellar, The Prestige, Dunkirk
Weakest - The Dark Knight Rises, Insomnia

Keep in mind though that even his weakest films are still a level above what most film makers produce, even TDKR for how dumb it gets sometimes is a better movie than most blockbusters.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Yeah, his weakr films aren't really bad. The Following is a very good film, but it just doesn't have the scope or production values of his more well-known movies. So it's often in the bottom of everyone's list or doesn't even make it. Insomnia is a perfect cure for insomnia, yet a decent thriller overall. Rises is dumb sometimes, but compensated by plenty of goodness. Interstellar's storytelling and writing are not for everyone (certainly not for me), but there are great performances, imagery, interesting concept and very good music.

 

[pixen]

I enjoy all of them... so this was difficult. The first batch are all ones I can rewatch. The second... not so much. Still good though.

The Prestige (2006)
The Dark Knight (2008)
Batman Begins (2005)
Inception (2010)
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Insomnia (2002)
Memento (2000)
Interstellar (2014) (Beautiful Film but kind of... eh otherwise)

Need to Watch:
Dunkirk (2017)

Never watched it:
Following (1998)

3. Memento
4. The Dark Knight Rises
5. Batman Begins

Nolan has a long way to go, but he's definitely on track to becoming the next Spielberg in the coming decades, as long he continues branching out to different genres he hasn't tackled yet (e.g. comedy).

Interstellar is not just my favourite Nolan film but one of the best films I've ever seen. It just perfectly captures the magic and awe of sci-fi through inspired storytelling, great acting and amazing visuals. It's easily the best sci-film since Contact.

After Interstellar, I'd say Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. What more can be said about these two films that hasn't already been said? Only a couple of comic/superhero movies can even compare to the brilliance of the these two films.
