TENET

[killface]

I liked Memento a lot
But, if it was a comedy, I didn't get the joke.

The joke is that Memento had a substantial amount of dry humor in it.

Inception stands as my favorite Nolan film. Wonderful film.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

The Dark Knight, Memento, Interstellar and Inception are all masterpieces IMO. You could put The Prestige up there as well, but honestly it's still kind of hard for me to choose which ones are more emotional between Interstellar and Inception. I'm leaning towards Interstellar though just for that ending.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Interstellar is probably my second favorite Nolan film. I know that is not popular consensus, but I find that to be a borderline masterpiece as well.

 

[Schlosser85]

I'd put The Dark Knight and Inception as top tier Nolan.

 

[titansupes]

The Dark Knight, The Prestige and Memento are my Nolan Top 3, so far.

 

[Iceman]

Inception is near no.1 in terms of modern films for me. Nolan's "middle tier" is better than some director's top tier lol.

Inception and Interstellar are my 2 favorites of Nolan as well (probably The Dark Knight as 3rd). Unlike the majority opinion on sites, I actually think Nolan is better when doing large scale movies than smaller ones. Memento feels more concerned with plotting TBH. I think his best run was between The Dark Knight up to Interstellar.

The Prestige... is easily his masterpiece.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Prestige and TDK are his greatest.

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

I'm ashamed to say, I have yet to see "Following." One HELL of a filmography, though. Not one bad (or even just mediocre) movie, in my opinion.

 

[Iceman]

Such a great early lineup of films. What do people say is Nolan’s weakest film?

 

[Schlosser85]

I'd say his "least" movie is probably Insomnia.

 

[kvz5]

The Prestige... is easily his masterpiece.

I still believe that this film would’ve blown up big time commercially and critically if it was made and released post TDK.

 

[Persona]

I'd say his "least" movie is probably Insomnia.

Yeah, not a bad movie, per se, but a pointless and inferior remake. Still not sure why Nolan made it.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Such a great early lineup of films. What do people say is Nolan’s weakest film?

I'd go with Dunkirk even though it's far from a bad film. Insomnia is damn good movie with fantastic performances from Al Pacino and Robin Williams IMO, but I get why some think its his weakest.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Such a great early lineup of films. What do people say is Nolan’s weakest film?

TDKR/Interstellar, but I'm also not a fan of Dunkirk.

 

[antsman41]

Not when Following exists... that film is still very small scale.

 

[Persona]

I'd go with Dunkirk even though it's far from a bad film. Insomnia is damn good movie with fantastic performances from Al Pacino and Robin Williams IMO, but I get why some think its his weakest.

I think it is just because I loved Memento so much when I saw it in the theater, I got so excited for whatever Nolan was going to do next... and then he did a remake of a movie that had come out just five years earlier, and I liked the original better. So it was just disappointing for me in that aspect.

 

[Iceman]

Interesting - thanks for the responses guys.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Such a great early lineup of films. What do people say is Nolan’s weakest film?

To be honest I've not been a fan of his last couple of movies so Tenet is getting me excited as it looks like a return to the type of movie I like from Nolan.

 

[Gothamsknight]

There really aren't weak Nolan films for me but I guess I'd have to pick insomnia as his weakest, but still a great film. as I stated before, The Dark Knight and The Prestige are his best.
