The 5 Best Christopher Nolan Movies According To Me

Christopher Nolan is a rarity in today’s Hollywood. He is the rare big-budget director that pushes the craft of filmmaking both visually, thematically, and narratively. His images are often spectacular. Think about the truck flipping in The Dark Knight or the plane scene in Tenet.

Nolan’s hatred of CGI is well-known, and his dedication to real-world set-pieces pays off. Unlike an Avenger movie, Nolan’s films, despite fantastical locations, feels like they are taking place in the real world.

His stories though are less interesting. Certain films do very well with fanboy, IMDB culture. (Check out the number of videos about Tenet on youtube). These films involve convoluted, labyrinth-like plots. They can be interesting like a Rube Goldberg machine but mostly bore me after repeated viewings. Hitchcock thought that directors should all be trained in silent cinema because it forces a director to tell a story solely through the image. Nolan could have taken that advice to heart. Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet all have some incredible setpieces but have far too much exposition. As a result, I did not include many of Nolan’s most dissected movies on or this list. Anyway, without further ado, here are the 5 best Christopher Nolan movies (according to me)…

5) Batman Begins
