    Inceptions pretty great. Exposition-heavy dialogue aside, it's a very entertaining film.

    Ranking:
    The Prestige
    Inception
    The Dark Knight
    Batman Begins
    Memento
    Interstellar
    Insomnia
    Following
    The Dark Knight Rises

    I think those first 6 are all very good, and I enjoy Insomnia too.

    Both movies are good, but not great. Can't really choose which one is better than the other.

    Actually, now that I think about it more, The Departed is definitely better than The Prestige. I've never been all that favorable towards Christopher Nolan films. Most of them are uneven at best.

    Loved both but I have to go with The Departed. One of my all time favorites.

    The Departed. And only on this website would Zodiac have a chance. Departed would lose to only 1 other gangster movie and that's Goodfellas.

    What? Ever heard of a little known film called The Godfather or its sequel? If we're talking strictly about consensus, that would easily beat both Goodfellas and The Departed. Scarface too.

    Tdkr has the most plot holes and convinces out of all three, and just out of any movie I can think of off the top of my head in general lol

    I love Tom hardy, I love bane, movies entertaining, but it's really just fluff.

    there's nothing wrong with enjoying now (even thought I remember both of hating on it on SL) but I can't get over how little sense the movie makes by the end. And the ending itself. Ugh

    Nolan stays being the worst recently tbqh

    But interstellar is 100x better than tdkr as a whole. MM > life

    I love everything about it (seen in theaters twice, even more incredible the second time) except for some kinda glaring plot/script issues I have (just like with tdkr)

    Yeah that might of been the worst ending of all-time. I turn it off when Alfred is crying at Bruce's grave and after 3 years I've convinced myself that's where the movie ends. Gotham is saved, there's no f---ing Robin and Bruce is dead God d--- it.

    Yeah MM has been in God mode lately and I liked Interstellar until Matt Damon showed up. From there it was just so, soooooooooooo bad.

    Scarface is overrated. City of God, Miller's Crossing, Eastern Promises, Reservoir Dogs.... Lot's of stiff competition to be sure.
