I've enjoyed Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

I haven't seen his other movies as Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige, Inception. I'm thinking about watching them. Are they worth watching OT ?

P.S - are those other movies dark theme and as much entertaining as Batman trilogy?

Memento. Inception is good as well. But Memento is his best film to date imo.

To answer the TC about dark theme, one could argue that Memento has a dark theme/feeling at the end of the film. If you really examine Leonard's life, condition, and purpose.

Memento is told in a non-linear fashion, with the b&w sequences going foward and color sequences going backwards.

While it all may feel disjointed and heavy-weighing at first, when everything you learn clicks together to form one cohesive plot, it's a very satisfying moment, even moreso than watching Batman finally stop the Joker or rise after being broken.

Memento is very good.

The Prestige is also good, but the book was better.

Inception is a wasted opportunity but it has a couple of beautiful scenes. The massive amounts of exposition and awful action scenes ruin it.

Memento was terrific

Insomnia was okay

The Prestige was okay

Inception was terrific

I know a lot of people who liked The Prestige a lot though so I may need to check it out again.

Maybe just once. I didn't really like Memento or Inception. After seeing them once it gets boring watching it again.

Yes, all of them are great.

No one in this thread has mentioned Following, that is worth watching too.

Best to worst: Memento The Prestige Batman Begins The Dark Knight The Dark Knight Returns Following Inception Haven't seen Insomnia in a long time. The first two are a must.

Really I would say all of his films are worth watching at least once. It's not like any of them are completely awful.

Memento is his best. The Prestige is great as well. Insomnia is severely underrated, other than 'Angels in America' it is Al Pacino's last great performance.

He's a really good director. Despite what haters say Inception was incredible. If you haven't seen that one yet you should definitely go watch it.

I disliked Inception so much that I'm boycotting all post-Inception Nolan films until he apologizes for it. There were too many plot holes, crutches, and inconsistencies.

I think I'll end my boycott once DKR is on netflix though.
