- The Prestige (2006) The Prestige is one of the great modern films, and has the best script of any Nolan film. Nolan found what worked so well with Memento and took that electricity a step further.
- Memento (2000) Memento changed cinema forever, and shaped Nolan’s storytelling style. The film took full advantage of the medium in a way we had never seen before, and in many respects still have yet to be capitalized upon.
- Dunkirk (2017) Christopher Nolan mentioned that he intentionally built Dunkirk to play like the third act of any other war film, just stretched out across 106 minutes.
- The Dark Knight (2008) Now I know what you’re thinking… How could The Dark Knight not make it into the top three? But before you hurl your collectable Batman sippy-cup into that mint condition Gotham lunch box (complete with Victor Fries ice pack) remember this

- The Dark Knight (2008) Stream on Max, Netflix, TNT, TBS, and Tru TV. The Dark Knight is not only Christopher Nolan’s best movie, but it was also a game-changer for the entire superhero genre.
- Oppenheimer (2023) Not currently available to stream or purchase. Oppenheimer is a standout film in Christopher Nolan's filmography, as rather than focusing on expansive dreamscapes or massive-scale superhero stories, Oppenheimer focuses on the life of one quiet man.
- Inception (2010) Buy or rent on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Vudu, RedBox, DirecTV, and Spectrum. The runaway success of The Dark Knight bought Christopher Nolan a blank cheque with Warner Bros, which he enthusiastically cashed on Inception.
- Interstellar (2014) Stream on Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, and MGM+, Nolan got to make his own sci-fi epic with Interstellar, which finds Matthew McConaughey’s Cooper leading a team of astronauts into a wormhole in the hope of finding mankind a new home.

For a movie shot on weekends and without a steady supply of quality film stock, Nolan's first feature is an effective character study hiding out in the trappings of a whodunit. Following tracks a young writer who stalks people on the streets of London for inspiration. When he is found out by a thief who takes him under his wing, the writer ends up ...
Tom Hardy debuted as Bane and Anne Hathaway donned the Catwoman suit for this ridiculously anticipated finale to Christopher Nolan’s massively popular Dark Knight Trilogy. The Dark Knight Rises shot for the stars, with a larger scope than any Batman movie before it. While reactions were mixed to some of the choices in the movie, on a psychological ...
Tenet — which was first delayed by the pandemic and then released to theaters before the world was ready to head back outside — never quite got the presentation it needed (or that Nolan himself desired). On top of that, despite being a technical marvel, it was one of the director's most emotionally cold efforts to date. That being said, this sci-fi...
Based on a Norwegian thriller of the same name, Insomnia is firmly within noir territory -- a troubled detective unravelling the murder of a young girl –-- but it purposefully inverts many of the inherited stylistic conventions. Since the action unfolds in a small fishing town in Alaska, where the sun never sets, Nolan's 'sunshine' noir eschews sha...
McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain star in Nolan's space epic, Interstellar -- an imperfect film, sure, but like its central characters it aims about as high as one can. The ambition, execution, and craftsmanship are all to be admired. Interstellar is a slightly divisive film though ultimately the viewers takeaway will likely come dow...
After the Batman and Robin debacle of 1997, Warner Brothers struggled to get the Batman franchise in motion again and suffered lots of stops and starts with various scripts and filmmakers. Finally, Christopher Nolan came along and everything fell into place. Telling the Batman origin in depth for the first time on screen, Nolan approached the Dark ...
Nolan's first major success went from being a Sundance event to a movie on every film lover's DVD shelf - and for good reason. Leonard (Guy Pearce) is a man unable to make new memories outside of the event that changed his life: Witnessing the rape and murder of his wife at the hands of one "John G." Armed with a gun and a Polaroid camera, Leonard ...
In what Nolan himself called his "most challenging film," Dunkirk was the director's first war film, depicting the Dunkirk evacuation of World War II through the perspectives of the land (taking place over a week of action), sea (one day of action), and air (one hour of action). As Nolan's most lauded film to date, which also included eight Oscar n...
Nolan won the hearts and minds of fanboys with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but he truly solidified his status as a filmmaker at the top of his game with 2010's Inception -- one of the best sci-fi moviesof all time. A mind-bending sci-fi stunner that proved Hollywood blockbusters could still be smart while also dazzling us on a visual and vis...
Adapted Christopher Priest's novel, this tale of two 19th Century magicians locked in a bitter rivalry only gets better with repeat viewings as its secrets reveal themselves. Hugh Jackman played the showy, flashy Robert Angier, while Christian Bale starred opposite as the less successful but more technically skilled Alfred Borden. Jackman excelled ...
- Interstellar. Where to stream: Prime Video, Paramount Plus, MGM Plus (US); Sky, Now (US); Foxtel Now (Aus) After its 2014 release, this was one of Nolan's more maligned movies – or at the least, more mixed in reception.

- Dunkirk. Where to stream: Available to rent and/or buy on select platforms, including Apple TV Plus, Amazon and YouTube (US/UK); Binge, Foxtel Now (Aus)
- The Dark Knight. Where to stream: Max (US); Sky, Now (UK); Binge, Foxtel Now (Aus) Lots of people would say The Dark Knight is their best Christopher Nolan movie and they certainly have a case.
