The Dark Knight (2008)

Every Christopher Nolan film ranked from worst to best
This was the comic-book movie to end all comic-book movies. After revolutionising the genre with Batman Begins, Nolan mastered it with a transcendent sequel rooted in the very real fears of a post-9/11 world. Heath Ledger – who tragically died just months before its release – deservedly garnered the most attention for his mesmerising, posthumous-Oscar-winning turn as the Joker, a force-of-nature villain with the most terrifying motive of all (“Some men just want to watch the world burn”). But The Dark Knight has more to offer than its paint-smeared anarchist, from the stunning IMAX-shot cityscapes to the dynamic bank robbery that evokes the classic crime noirs of the 70s.

Inception (2010)

Every Christopher Nolan film ranked from worst to best
Will Smith turned down the lead in this labyrinthine sci-fi after being left utterly bamboozled by its plot. It’s possibly the only time he’s been relatable. Instead starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Inception tests audiences more than any other Nolan film, its dream-within-a-dream structure blurring the boundaries between fantasy and reality from its opening heist to its ambiguous spinning-top finale. Whether you understand all the subconscious infiltration or not, it’s still a marvel to behold, its intricate conceptual world producing numerous indelible sequences – most notably the folding streets of Paris – that redefined the art of cinema. Proof, if any more was needed, that Nolan has long been the most distinctive blockbuster filmmaker around. (Stream on HBO Max, Now or Prime Video.

Dunkirk (2017)

Every Christopher Nolan film ranked from worst to best
Dunkirk is a Second World War movie like no other. Continuing his penchant for jumbling chronology, Nolan interweaves three different timelines during the titular evacuation, spending an hour in the air, a day at sea and a week on the beach where thousands of soldiers waited for salvation. Despite a stacked cast of future stars including Barry Keoghan and Jack Lowden, alongside an acting debut for Harry Styles, it gives them little to say, instead allowing Zimmer’s unbearably tense score and visceral combat and rescue scenes to do all the talking. The result is an unforgettable quasi-silent film that honours the resilience of its troops without ever resorting to gung-ho jingoism (Stream on HBO Max, Now or Prime Video.

Batman Begins (2005)

Every Christopher Nolan film ranked from worst to best
Eight years after box office bomb Batman and Robin appeared to Bang! Boom! Pow! superhero films into oblivion, Nolan single-handedly resurrected the genre by gravitating – both figuratively and literally – to the dark side. Eschewing the cartoonish costumes and camp one-liners, Batman Begins instead grounds its themes of vengeance and redemption in a much grittier, gloomier world, but one that Bale’s Caped Crusader still feels obliged to protect. Furthermore, it established several long-running creative partnerships, with Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy and composer Hans Zimmer all becoming Nolan regulars. Unfortunately, its success also gave Hollywood carte blanche to give every superhero their own self-serious origin story with diminishing returns. (Stream on HBO Max, Prime Video, Netflix or Now.
