2) Inception (6/10)
3) Dunkirk (6/10)
4) The Dark Knight Rises (5/10)
5) Interstellar (5/10)
6) The Dark Knight (4/10)
7) The Prestige (4/10)
8) Batman Begins (3/10)
9) Tenet (3/10)

It’s been too long since I saw Following or Insomnia to judge them, but I recall not caring much for either of them.

Still Memento

[Mr. Smith]

You b*^&tard, I was just about to start this one up, I just got out of Oppenheimer.


Following: N/A
Memento: B
Insomnia: A+
Batman Begins: A-
The Prestige: C+
The Dark Knight: B- 
Inception: C-
The Dark Knight Rises: C
Interstellar: A+
Dunkirk: B 
Tenet: D
Oppenheimer: A+


Insomnia is the most balanced (but also feels the least like a Nolan film), Interstellar has the best story and conceptual ideas, and Oppenheimer has the best acting.

Ah sh!t I forgot The Prestige.

I edited it in but alas they're not all that chronological order now.

Batman Begins

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Probably Interstellar, even if the device which allows for resolution of the plot is not my favorite. The movie is about a few things I find stirring; obviously love for one's progeny, but also it's about a humanity that has lost its ambitions, that is so bogged down by present problems that it can't see a year or a decade ahead... and the insane desperation and adventurism the proragonists need to act against that. My theory is that this theme is tied to some sense of loss for the Empire, or nostalgia for the swashbuckling of an imagined past.

Haven't seen Dunkirk or some of his more obscure ones.

Interstellar

[Progressive Pessimist]

'Memento' and nothing else really comes close.

I haven't seen 'Following' or 'Insomnia.'

And though I give the guy a lot of s*** as far as being overrated goes, I don't think he has ever made an objectively bad movie in terms of quality though I would go as far as to say that I hate 'Batman Begins,' 'The Prestige,' 'Interstellar,' 'Dunkirk,' and 'Tenet.'

Yeah, you heard me right. 'Batman Begins' is an unnecessarily bloated origin story which we've already seen before paired with Bale's horrible gravelly Batman voice and makes Batman a hypocrite: "I don't want to kill anyone, but I'll set this building on fire with many people inside it."

'Interstellar' like 'The Prestige' starts off promising and then loses me with its absolutely dumb ending.

This is one of the greatest scenes ever filmed in the history of cinema.

Also this might actually be watchable!

If Christopher Nolan, the renowned filmmaker known for his complex and thought-provoking films, were to direct a movie based on Dora the Explorer, it would likely be a radically different and darker take on the beloved children's character and her adventures. Here's an imaginative look at what it might be like:

Title: "Dora the Explorer: The Enigma's Journey"

1. Ambitious Storytelling: Nolan is known for his intricate narratives and mind-bending plots. In this movie, he would craft a multi-layered storyline that combines Dora's adventurous spirit with elements of mystery and psychological depth.

2. Darker Tone: Nolan's films often delve into darker themes, and "Dora the Explorer" would be no exception. The lighthearted and cheerful atmosphere of the original show would be replaced with a more serious, suspenseful, and intense tone.

3. Realistic World-Building: Nolan is a master of creating immersive worlds, so the setting of the movie would be vivid and realistic. The jungle and other locations Dora explores would feel authentic and gritty, giving the audience a sense of the dangers and challenges she faces.

4. Character Development: Dora's character would be more complex, with a deeper psychological and emotional journey. Her exploration of the world would also be a journey of self-discovery, where she confronts her fears, doubts, and insecurities.

5. The Mystery Element: Nolan often includes elements of mystery in his films, and this movie would be no different. There could be a central enigma or hidden treasure that Dora seeks, and her adventures would be intertwined with unraveling clues and solving puzzles.

6. Dora's Companions: Boots the monkey, Diego, and other supporting characters would still be present, but their roles might be more intricate. Nolan could add layers of complexity to these characters, giving them personal conflicts and their own arcs.

7. Psychological Thrills: The movie might include surreal dream sequences or mind-bending twists, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats as they try to decipher what is real and what is illusion.

8. Exploration of Themes: Nolan's films often explore philosophical and existential themes. This movie might touch on themes of identity, the nature of reality, and the human desire for adventure and knowledge.

9. Stunning Visuals: Nolan is known for his stunning visual style, and "Dora the Explorer" would likely feature breathtaking cinematography and special effects that enhance the sense of wonder and danger in the story.

10. Open to Interpretation: As with many of Nolan's films, "Dora the Explorer: The Enigma's Journey" might leave the audience with open-ended questions, encouraging discussion and analysis long after leaving the theater.

Overall, a Christopher Nolan-directed "Dora the Explorer" movie would be a departure from the original light-hearted, educational show, but it would offer a thrilling and thought-provoking experience that appeals to both children and adult audiences alike.

It's not "bloated" and it was not "seen" at the time, certainly not for Batman, who kept playing second fiddle to the villains up to that point.

[John Dule]

Despite my “meh” scores for them, I would also say I hate Interstellar and The Prestige— mostly for ruining promising premises with Nolan’s usual pseudoscience trash.

[emailking]

Tenet is a top 10 for me and I consider it a masterpiece.

Memento, The Prestige, the Batman movies, Inception, and Interstellar are very very good.

Dunkirk and Oppenheimer are good. I need to see Oppenheimer again to fully form my opinion on it.

I'm not that big on Following or Insomnia.

[OSR stands with Israel]

It’s been too long since I saw Following or Insomnia to judge them, but I recall not caring much for either of them.

How is the Dark Knight only 4/10

Ledger is the only memorable part of the movie, and even then he’s in service of a pretty boring character.

[DaleCooper]

The Dark Knight is the only one I think is great but I haven't seen very many of his films.

[Fight for Trump]

I misread the title and got excited until I realized it was about Hollywood trash and not Christopher Doyle

Aaron Eckhart was far more memorable and terribly underused, likewise [and more] with Cillian Murphy.

Murphy I think is only in 1 scene in DK, he's in BB a lot more.
