what is Christopher Nolan's best movie
or an easier question will be what are
his top three films there's really no
denying that Nolan has been one of the
top tier filmmakers working today
and among the very best for I guess
nearly twenty years now ever since he
released memento back in 2000 movie fans
have been anticipating his every move
eagerly awaiting what his next project
will be and most of his films have been
the source of countless debates over the
years and I've impacted the film
industry and made riot II of ways just
take a look at its two most recent
movies Dunkirk and interstellar both are
divided among fans and critics regarding
their quality critics love Dunkirk while
it seems like most Nolan fans kind of
don't they disregarded that's due to the
lack of emotional impact in the film
meanwhile interstellar is loved by
critics at all but it is still highly
regarded by audiences but the real
beauty of Nolan's work is that mostly
everyone has their own personal favorite
Nolan though that's just how diverse and
excellent his filmography is he loves to
take massive risks in the way of beauty
he puts all of the creative ideas and
storytelling you see in indie films into
his big-budget blockbuster epics and he
can get away with that because anyone
will go watch his film so a further ado
what are his top three movies the one
that you simply have to include in my
opinion it's definitely memento and many
would argue including me that this is
his best project this is basically Nolan
unfiltered and raw before all of the
expectations have been set upon him
following his three Batman movies this
is a filmmaker who just isn't afraid to
go crazy producing a film of some of the
most complex well done an even
influential piece of editing and
storytelling telling a plot backwards
forwards and sideways while including
well written and no one's characters and
a few smart twists it just simply wasn't
done before in this capacity with that
type of quality Nolan's first film is
actually following and memento is a
natural progression of things he always
loved and still loves pulling the rug
right from under you
memento is an unconventional movie going
experience it isn't too long too short
and it ends it has an ending
and most important of all it is truly
unforgettable as well now moving on this
is where things get really really tricky
this is where we start getting into
series debates do you include insomnia
which is underappreciated and quite
haunting what Batman films include
begins which has a more singular focus
on a titular hero or the Dark Knight
which had the bigger impact in my
opinion how about the affirmation
interstellar and Dunkirk until you clued
them in the top three I believe second
place actually belongs to none under
then inception Nolan's very best
big-budget high concept blockbuster
inception is without a doubt one of the
most creative films ever made period as
all the twists and turns you see in
something like memento alongside a well
choreographed and stunning action
featured in the Batman films and his
last two projects inception has what I
think Dunkirk lacked emotion we care
about these characters we do want to see
Leo renew his family and it also has
some memorable set pieces including that
upside down fight scene featuring Joseph
gordon-levitt Plus let's not forget Hans
Zimmer's transcending musical score
included what could be his very best
piece of music time dozen ception have
flaws of course it does just like every
other Nolan film and you can pick it
apart especially its plot but it's just
so ambitious and glories to watch and
the ending still has us debating after
all of these years so what comes in
third after inception and memento I
actually have two choices
it's between the Dark Knight obviously
and the prestige which is without a
single doubt in my mind
Nolan's most underappreciated piece of
work to some in my even be is very fast
the Nurik nine just has that cultural
impact that none of the films have and
even most combat movies as well while
Marvel was bringing the colorful
fun-filled to compact movies Nolan was
basically showing everyone how the genre
can be much more net The Dark Knight is
a sadistic crime thriller featuring a
hero but he's not the centerpiece it's a
Heath Ledger's unforgettable Joker who's
the focus
I still think this is the best comeback
film ever made actually the prestige is
most similar to momentum when it comes
to focus and having the most tight
script it's normally being the
quote-unquote highbrow filmmaker the
reason why I think prestige doesn't get
that love is because of when it is said
and what the focus is now many people
are huge fans of the 1800s and let alone
a story focusing on two magicians that
hate each other but the prestige
explores so many heavy topics in
excellent fashion - such as the price of
competition in being the very best in
your career and the sacrifices you have
to make to achieve that that's my top
three or four if you want to call it
that momento inception and tied for
third Dark Knight and the prestige I'm
sure you all have your own lists your
own personal favorites so let me know
what they are and another question
that's interesting to discuss is what is
this worst movie is it following if you
can count that maybe Dunkirk who knows
let me know and as always thanks for
