If you want to understand Nolan’s work and his skills to present brilliant out of the box ideas Inception is the best inception to start with. This movie will leave your mind boggling with answers and questions. What is Reality? The very fundamental question around which the entire movies revolves around such a unique story to tell this is the movie that will leave you clueless and you would be delighted to spend your 2 hours 28 minutes just to understand the very fact that there is so much to perceive and we understand so little of it. The only time I felt happy to acknowledge that I know nothing is after watching this movie.

This movie is not just about batman and joker brawl but has a deep meaning to it and how subtle were they slipped into this beautiful piece of art is something of a specialty for Nolan.

Perfection is Nolan’s key ingredient in making any movie great working on the very same. Nolan produced and directed, this movie is known for its scientific accuracy and brilliant cinematography. Matthew McConaughey the protagonist of the movie was brilliant in portraying a caring father with an urge to discover the unchartered space. The movie is an eye candy for all those nerds out there. The movie was a box office hit with earning 675 million dollars worldwide. Hanz Zimmer producing the music for this giant is nothing less than an icing on the cake.
Momento

We all are well versed with the concept of Ghajini, what we don’t know is that Bollywood picked up this concept from Nolan’s Momento. This movie, unlike others, had a very unique which of course you’re well versed with but unlike the Bollywood adaption of the very same this movie has a pretty haywire plot making it even more tempting, after all, whats better than teasing the audience for more mystery and revealing it, in the end, leaving all of us awestruck appreciating the script and its beautiful direction.
Prestige

Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are one of the best actors in the industry and have given hits after hits but what if we put them both in one movie with a magical plot and give it a retro touch. It has to be a hit and it did. Nolan’s Prestige is a movie with so many emotional elements that it seems as a whole package with science fiction, magic, drama, and thrill this movie covers everything one looks for in a good movie and that's why it makes it to top 5 movies by Nolan.
