Christopher Nolan is the most visionary director of our generation. He’s films are so utterly unique; it’s mind-blowing (just seeing the trailer for “Inception” says it all). Whether his films are based on source material (“Insomnia” and the Batman films) or original screenplays with his brother his films carry a strong story followed by great performances from his actors. Even though “Insomnia” and the Batman films aren’t original ideas of his, he makes them his own – shattering the bar that was set before him and raising it for anyone who dare challenge him. Christopher Nolan is a GREAT director.
Oh, and he’s not making the yet untitled third Batman film in 3D. You have to give him credit for that!

I’m quite surprised you haven’t seen “Following.” It’s quite similar to “Pi” in the way it is only a mere glimpse into what is yet to come from those great filmmakers. It’s a hint of what their talents are capable of… they don’t quite have “it” yet, but you get the feeling that you are watching greatness in development.
1) The Dark Knight
2) Memento
3) The Prestige
4) Insomnia
5) Batman Begins
6) Following
All at least an 8.
Looking forward to Inception (who isn’t?) I haven’t seen Following either
He has made some great movies so far and let’s hope it keeps going.
Curious that you should have “Insomnia” as #1 … I didn’t think people were as big on that one.
1) The Prestige
2) The Dark Knight
3) Memento
4) Batman Begins
5) Insomnia
6) Following
