Having seen Inception a second time, I'd say it's about even with TDK for my favorite Nolan film. The concept is so unique, the acting is superb, the writing/plotting is extremely admirable and intricate. On the other hand, The Dark Knight created a wonderful atmosphere of unease, it pushes the Batman character to his limit, and showcases one of the most memorable performances in film history. That latter aspect may be the deciding factor for me; I unabashedly love Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker and I don't seem to tire watching it.
I'm gonna have to rewatch Memento and to a lesser extent, The Prestige to make up my mind.
Either way, Nolan rules.

Anyone is free to dislike The Dark Knight, but to say it sucked is just ridiculous.I think Batman Begins is one of Nolan's weakest films.
agreed.at least with the first sentence.He only puts down the Nolan Batman films all the time because he cant stand to hear the truth that they are 100 times superiour than those crapfest Burton films. 😆 Here is the evidence,he has even said Batman and Robin is better than Dark Knight. 😆

I can't decide between The Dark Knight and Inception. I'll have to see Inception once or twice more to decide.
I can already say as great as Inception will probably be,I know Dark Knight will still be the best for me.Cant stand Leonardo Decaprio.I really enjoyed Shutter Island but it could have been so much better with a different actor other than him in that role for me.

I want to say Inception but I just hot home from seeing it so I might be biased.However... the only other movies I've seen beside it of his are TDK and The Prestige, and TDK sucked. Haven't seen The Prestige since I was like 13 or something... I guess I'll go with Inception then.
You can't remember Prestige? It only came out 4 years ago.
And I'm with SnakeEyes on your TDK opinion.

I disagree. I don't think there is another actor working today that could have showed the sheer intensity that DiCaprio did in Shutter Island. Inception was obviously a far more subdued performance compared to Shutter Island though.

Though I don't agree to the degree of your decree, I agree that he greatly impressed me, you see?

You know I'd never really looked at this guys film resume, but god has he made any good movies?Batman Begins and the Prestige were okay and I'll admit I have haven't seen Inception, Following, or all of Memento, but Insomnia was crap and The Dark Knight was not far behind.
to say The Dark Knight was crap just shows that you have a lack of good taste in movies.Thats fine that you dont like it but to call it crap is just plain absurd and rediculous.
I just saw Inception and just I figured it would be,It was really good.really enjoyed it.My new rankings for Nolans movies would now be the same as it was before except I would put Inception third now before
The Prestige.so it would now go
1.The Dark Knight
2.Batman Begins
3.Inception
4.The Prestige.
will have to see Following sometime.only one I havent seen now.
as a side note,something I found interesting when the movie was over is I heard a voice behind me say-Christopher Nolan.He's a nut.He has some weird ideas when he is making these movies.I did like his last movie though The Dark Knight.that was realy good.He was the one that directed that movie.I thought it was interesting how she mentioned that he directed TDK but didnt say anything about Batman Begins.very interesting I thought. 🙂
