The Prestige
The very definition of “rewarding rewatch.” It’s still top shelf Nolan for me. The metaphor can do so much work! Looking forward to the 70mm re-release for its 20th anniversary next year. It’s aged really well.
Still some rewatches to do, but this is how I’d rank the top tier, today:
*The Prestige
The Dark Knight
The Odyssey
Batman Begins
Insomnia *
Mid tier would include Interstellar, Inception, and Oppenheimer. Maybe Memento. Probably in that order?
Seems clear that Nolan is at his best when he has source material to work with.
