A Few Of The Most Memorable Films Directed By The Very Promising Director, Christopher Nolan

By Ryan Thomas

There is little doubt at this point in time that one of the most brilliant directors in all of the movie industry is Christopher Nolan. If you go through his catalog of movies, it would be an understatement to say that Christopher Nolan is consistent; all of his movies are exceptional. It is truly remarkable how many great movies he has thus far in his career.

But which have been Christopher Nolan's best films? These are my top five favorites.

The first movie that I will discuss is Memento. When you want to talk about revolutionary and unique films, Memento has to be mentioned in the conversation. Memento is a story about a detective who has no short term memory. Enough said.

The Prestige is another movie that absolutely makes the cut for me. One of my favorite movies in recent memory, The Prestige is a film that you can watch several times and learn something new each and every time. A fantastic film that didn't get enough love.

Another movie that makes the Cut is Batman Begins. Before this movie, with the exception of Batman Returns, there was no half decent Batman film. Nolan truly revived this franchise from the dead and has created one of the most successful superhero sagas in the process.

Inception is Nolan's most recent, and arguably his best film to date. In my mind, this is the movie that put his resume over the top. At the time I write this article, the Internet Movie Database (imdb) has this film ranked as the number 4 best film of all time!

Another movie that has to be included on this list is The Dark Knight. Just when you thought he couldn't recreate the magic of Batman Begins, Nolan goes on to blow his first Batman film out of the water. This is one of the few sequels that supersedes its predecessor in almost every way.

Hopefully there are one or more films on this list of Christopher Nolan greats that you have not yet seen. - 40732
