S Tier:

Inception - a visual masterpiece, great soundtrack, a tolerable narrative

A tier:

Memento - was S tier in my mind before but did not find it as good on a rewatch recently, probably down to the low budget making it less cinematic

The Prestige - only held back by the fact that I cannot rewatch it due to the twist ending

Dunkirk - finally watched it recently, pretty flawless. Maybe only negative is the time shifting stuff which he overuses in many films

B tier:

Interstellar - did not like the story a lot but otherwise good

Tenet - visual masterpiece, great soundtrack, inscrutable narrative

The Dark Knight Rises - some incredible scenes, only held back by the IP

Following - can't remember a lot about this it's been too long since I watched

C tier

Insomnia - a fine movie but not to his later standards. a genre Film through and through, not something you feel like an Auteur made

The other 2 batman movies - Found them pretty lame, the one with Two Face felt like it was never gonna end

I haven't watched all of Oppenheimer yet I'm like 50 minutes in and it has yet to grab me

I thought Heath Ledger was insufferable in it

Actually prefer the Tim Burton Batman film tbh

i'd bump up the first batman movie

bump down tenet

bump down memento

maybe bump up the dark knight rises. just because of the memes and cultural impact. extremely re-watchable Film

I'd probably rank the batman films higher if another director made them, feels so wasteful to have one of the best directors making comic book films for a decade. Like if Michelangelo made a webcomic
