Default Favourite Christopher Nolan Film
This includes the films he's done both the writing and directing for, which makes it a list of four: Batman Begins, Following, Memento, and The Prestige. I'd never heard of Following before checking Nolan's page on IMDb just now, and wasn't sure whether to include it as it's only just over an hour long; but IMDb doesn't classify it as a short, so meh, it's in.

I'm dying to see The Prestige, it looks awesome, but obviously I can't vote for it based on the trailer and reviews alone. Loved Batman Begins, but I'm going to have to vote for Memento. I was really caught off guard by the ending, and the merging of past and present tense was done very well.

Try to post a reason why you prefer whichever one you do rather than just vote for it, that'll make the thread more worth reading.

I only saw Batman Begins out of those 4. I thought it was a great movie, can't wait for the sequel.

Easily Memento, i enjoyed Batman Begins and am pickin up the Prestiege when it comes out on DVD (havent seen it yet), but Memento is one of the most original movies i have ever seen before. I've seen it countless times but still get something new out of it everytime.

I went for Batman Begins by default... the only one I've seen, though I really wanna see Memento and The Prestige.

I have to go with The Prestige.

Was just a great movie. Beautifully made.

Never seen the other ones though.

Memento is still one of the most intelligent thrillers I've seen. That film's #1 on my favorite Nolan list. Batman Begins comes in a close second, with The Prestige in third.

Finally saw The Prestige and it was well worth the wait. Seeing it makes this choice even harder than before, but I think I'd stick with Memento as my favourite Nolan film for now. They all deserve another dozen or so viewings that's for sure. Maybe one night I'll watch Begins and the aforementioned all in a row and see if a clear favourite comes up; if for nothing else it would be an awesome night.

Saw Batman Begins. It was good, but The Prestige takes the cake for me.

My personal favorite movie of '06. Just an amazing movie.

Yeah i've said it before, and i'll say it again...Memento is one of the few (hell it might be the only...Well, except for the fabulous Mulholland Drive) movies out there that i notice something different and/or getting something new out of it with each viewing. Now thats the sign of a truly great movie right there, endless reviewability posibilities.

Considering I've only seen two of the four that are up there, I would have to say that Batman Begins was the best one for me. The Prestige was a great film, but I think it's the comic nerd in me that liked Batman Begins more. I need to and pick up Momento, I've heard nothing but good things about that movie. And I've never heard of Following, I'll have to check that one out as well.

Hey what happened to Insomnia, I remember it being on the list last time lol. I don't remember much about it besides the fact it featured Robin Williams and Al Pacino, but I believe it was a really good film also

Insomnia didn't make the list because, although Nolan directed it, he did not write the film. Good flick, though.
