    Incredible List. Inception had a massive impact on me the first time I watched it. It's the first movie that had me in a tailspin by the end of it. almost taunting me to rewatch it to unlock more of its secrets that had befuddled me the first time around. It seemed like a movie that just came out of nowhere in 2010 and was like nothing I had ever seen before. No one in my family or circle of friends was excited to see this film besides me because I am a massive science and physics dork. They all just dismissed it and said it was too confusing for them to make sense of it all. The Film's concept and Soundtrack in particular has stuck in my mind ever since and truly is some of Zimmer's finest work. And even to this day it is my favourite film of all time. It really deepened my appetite for similar mindbending science fiction masterpieces like Mr Nobody, Donnie Darko, Predestination, Coherence and Vanilla Sky

    You know Nolan is really one of the goats when every ranking list is completely different. His filmography is so diverse while also staying true to his distinct style. My top 5 constantly changes and to me that just validates more why I love his movies. My all time favorite director and a big part of my obsession with film. Great video man!

    I really hope you'll see this lol but this is mine:
    12. Insomnia (too long for the storyline and went off the rails a bit)
    11. Following (great first film, worked really well but just not as good as the other obv)
    10. Memento (great acting just the idea of a reverse film doesnt really work with me but i still understood it)
    9. Batman Begins (weakest of TDK trilogy but still pretty good backstory)
    8. Dunkirk (love the visuals but i would have liked it to be a bit longer)
    7. TDKR (really underrated and i love bane)
    6. The Prestige (i love how they are both protagonists and antagonists, really enjoyed this one)
    5. Tenet (i dont think john david washington is a good actor at all but i really liked the originality of this film)
    4. Oppenheimer (longest and newest nolan film, liked to see cillian murphy star in a nolan film as well, just a bit too long to make it to top 3 but still really good)
    3. Interstellar (i love the emotion of this film, really well done and the music was a blessing to my ears)
    2. TDK (best of the trilogy obv, heath ledger R.I.P carried this film imma be honest)
    1. Inception (best nolan film ever, you cant change my opinion, Time is the best movie track ive ever heard)

  • @eliasandresvazquezzuniga4482
    @eliasandresvazquezzuniga4482 Месяц назад

    My list would be:
    12. Dunkirk (it's nice in the technical apartment but is kind of empty, its style over substance)
    11. Tenet (It has some great and amazing moments, but the story has no sense, and again style over substance)
    10. Following (This one is pretty good, really interesting in the script department)
    09. Oppenheimer (Its good too, it has some scences that are directed diferently than the standard Nolan's formula)
    08. Interstellar (I have a love / hate relationship on this one, it has some of the greater scence from all Nolan movies and it has an emotional potency, but also a bunch of scence that made me cringe, and i don't buy the third act completly)
    07. Inception (its really enterteining and exiting, one of the most epic experiences in Nolan's filmography but the suport characters lacks from a complex construction and there are many plot holes in the third act)
    06. Insomnia (Pretty great jajaja I completely disagree with you in the video, I think this is one of the most cohesive scripts that Nolan has worked, the thing is that I don't feel it too impactfull in an intelectual or emotional way than others)
    05. The Dark Knight (based opinion, but the script has too many problems that Nolan fans are refuse to see)
    04. Memento (Very thoughtfull and well spun. This movie makes me think about the limits of memory and questions about what is real and what we perceive as real)
    03. Batman Begins (I love the exploration of a broken man with serious psicological problems and the fact that the movie explores in a really emotional way what defines us like ourselves is pretty emotive)
    02. The Prestige (the paralel that makes between cinema and magic are pretty impresive and same as memento, it has some questions about what is real and what is not)
    01. The Dark Knight Rises (Contrary to The Dark Knight I think this is a really underrated movie on the Nolan's catalog. Philosophically is one of the most profound scripts that Nolan and Goyer has written, and all the character are so complex and threedimentional that I can empathize with everyone. This movie is heartbreaking, very thoughtfull, poetic and complex)
    Conclusions: BASED ENDING

    12. Tenet. Just doesn’t work for me at all.
    11. Following
    10. Insomnia
    9. Interstellar. I love a few scenes and think it looks beautiful, but the third act just falls apart, Anne Hathaway is cringe, and the message of “the end of humanity is humanity” doesn’t sit right with me. That we are the answer to ourselves instead of something bigger. I just personally find that to be bleak.
    8. Dunkirk. Beautiful ending, but for this to be his shortest film, I found it to be a chore to watch. Just plot happening the entire time and sometimes it feels dull when the characters don’t have much of a personality.
    7. Batman Begins. It’s a great movie, but it doesn’t feel as ambitious and exciting as Rises and I didn’t like some of the performances, especially Katie Holmes.
    6. The Dark Knight Rises. This movie ranks higher than Begins because it felt like it was trying to say so much. It’s relevant socially and politically, and feels realistic in the way that humans behave when a city collapses like this. I love the ending, as well. I just love that Nolan was trying to say so much with this movie.

      Logan and Batman(2022) are superior movies compared to TDK. Matt Reeves made an authentic batman movie in which batman is a fucking detective which Nolan tends to forget. Nolan's Batman movies are style over substance and void of any logic and common sense. Is he really expecting us to believe that Hong Kong police walked 20-25 floors of stairs within 1.5-2 minutes in TDK 🤣🤣.

    I don’t think tenet gets enough love. I appreciate the good things you said about it and it is your opinion of course, but dumb and cringy is the last thing I would use to describe it. Quite honestly, how else was Nolan supposed to do it? You complain that it’s too confusing, but you complain that the explanations are too cringy. How is it coming from the future cringy? Also, while I can see the argument for the characters being dull and hard to attach to, I just disagree. They are very likable to me and the whole Kat sator thing was fascinating to me. Also the story is anything but boring. It’s a war between the present and the future. What’s not to like? Thanks for shouting out my man Ludwig though. He is for sure the Hans Zimmer of the future for that track and Oppenheimer.

    • @chaseazarian
      @chaseazarian  9 месяцев назад +1

      I appreciate the different opinions! I just think I love the overall concept of Tenet at the moment versus actually loving the film itself, and I think the characters maybe feel a little too bland (whether that be an intentional choice on Nolan's part of not with naming the protagonist "The Protagonist"). Maybe the future me will get that entropy effect and turn my score into a 5/5, but I just have my doubts at the moment lol. I appreciate the comment though and love your list!

    Inception is the last great film made by Nolan. His later movies are all style over substance except Oppenheimer.

      Interstellar and Tenet are flawed but it's not bad come on. Dunkirk is a refreshing experience. The three timelines offers like a sensorial war movie, it's awesome. One of the most imersive films ever. TDKR is kinda meh.

    Interstellar is really really a stupid movie it was boring dry and the characters were dull
