The best Christopher Nolan movies ranked, from worst to best

A close-up of Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, one of the best Christopher Nolan movies.

The best Christopher Nolan movies are some of the most slick, cerebral, and enjoyable films ever made. Ever since Memento told an entire crime story in reverse, the award-winning British director has been twisting our concept of time and constructing complex narratives that you’ll be thinking about long after the credits roll. While he might still be most well-known for his incredible Batman movie trilogy, he’s also responsible for a plethora of movie successes from the dream-based espionage movie Inception, to the hard science-fiction of Interstellar, to the epic historical war adaptation, Dunkirk, and multi-Oscar winner, Oppenheimer.

Christopher Nolan's directorial slate is abundant with choice. The good news is that many of them are available to stream on Max if you’re based in the US (you’ll find them on Sky in the UK and Foxtel in Australia). They also make up a fair few picks in our best Max movies. But we digress – you want to know how we've ranked the auteur's flicks from worst to best, don't you? Well, read on!
