Christopher Nolan

1h 9m

A 69-minute debut shot on weekends for six thousand dollars, and already obsessed with broken chronology.

1h 53m

A man who cannot form new memories, told backwards. Still his most elegant idea.

1h 58m

An Alaskan procedural with Pacino and Robin Williams. The one people forget he made.

2h 20m

The film that proved a superhero origin could be a serious drama.

2h 10m

Two rival magicians destroying each other. The most rewatchable thing he has made.

2h 32m

Ledger's Joker, and the high-water mark of the modern blockbuster.

2h 28m

A heist inside a dream inside a dream. Enormously complicated and completely legible.

2h 45m

The trilogy closes, bigger and baggier than the film before it.

2h 49m

A blight, a wormhole, and the most openly emotional film he has made.

1h 46m

Three timelines running at different speeds. Almost no dialogue, and relentless.

2h 30m

Inverted entropy, and the deepest end of the pool. Do not start here.

3h 0m

Three hours of men in rooms, and it won Best Picture. His best-directed film.

Runtime unknown

Homer, shot entirely on IMAX 70mm — reportedly the most expensive film of his career.
