For a writer/director, Christopher Nolan has one of the most impressive track records in recent times. He's managed wow audiences and leave film masterpieces for generations with his often dark and mind-bending themes.
Here are my Top 5 Christopher Nolan movies:
1. Memento
2. The Dark Knight
3. Dunkirk
4. Inception
5. The Prestige
- Memento wow'd audiences with its unique film style of watching a movie in reverse.
- The Dark Knight put the reimagined dark version of Batman back in the spotlight only to be highlighted with an outstanding (and basically final) performance by Heath Ledger who starred as Joker.
- Dunkirk captured the gravitas and desperation of the world gone mad during World War 2 and those who were rescued from assured defeat on the beaches of France.
- Inception twisted the minds of the audience with the notion of going deeper and deeper into a novel concept of realities within realities.
- The Prestige made illusions cool again, and spectacularily veered into the realm of sci-fi as the movie progressed.
