What's the best Christopher Nolan movie?

Nolan's filmography is absurdly stacked for one director. Inception messed with your head and gave us the spinning top ending everyone still argues about. The Dark Knight redefined what a comic book movie could be and gave Heath Ledger his posthumous Oscar. Interstellar made grown adults cry over a bookshelf and docking sequence. Oppenheimer just swept the Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Mind-bending sci-fi, a superhero redefinition, or an Oscar-winning biopic — which one is actually his masterpiece?

𝗕 Bold text

Inception — the heist-inside-a-dream concept was so original it spawned a decade of "is it real or a dream" debates, and that ending still isn't settled.

►

The Dark Knight — Heath Ledger's Joker is still the gold standard for comic book villains, and it proved superhero movies could be taken seriously as cinema.

►

Interstellar — Hans Zimmer's score, the black hole visuals that were scientifically accurate enough to get published, and an ending that wrecks you emotionally.

►

Oppenheimer — swept the Oscars including Best Picture, and made a three-hour biopic about physics and bureaucracy into a genuine nail-biter.
