Christopher Nolan poll!

Help me choose a movie to watch next! I've already watched the Dark Knight Trilogy and Interstellar for the channel, and I've seen The Prestige before!

Comments

Oppenheimer can be great but it won't be better than Interstellar

John A

I'd say he's closer to a thinking man's Spielberg, but, yes, all of his films are worth seeing.

Byrd N. Hand

You should start with his first film, "Following", and work forward from there. Nolan is the Kubrick of this generation. Each film is a unique masterpiece. He hasn't made a clunker yet.

Alex Vazquez

"The Jerk" remains my favorite Steve Martin vehicle, and a handful of other channels have at least reacted to it. Alas, I believe only You, Me, & the Movies has reacted to "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid."

Byrd N. Hand

I like Memento, Inception and Tenet. One on the list I haven't seen... so don't know on that one.

Em McG

Of course, for some people, you could say the same about "Memento."

Byrd N. Hand

Yeah, no surprise. Of course, "The Prestige" would at least potentially be giving it a run for its money had Addie not already seen it.

Byrd N. Hand

Inception's a neat blockbuster movie, but I still think Memento's his best.

I know right. IMO, it's the most overrated Nolan movie. At least Oppenheimer (2023) is the runner-up. I would love for her to watch that movie because it just came out on digital today. On top of that, most of the action movies that Addie has watched involved sci-fi, a genre that she's been drawn to. I do hope that she ventures into the realm of straight pure action.

It doesn’t surprise me that Inception would win the poll. Most of the Millennials in here probably voted for it. While better choices like Memento and Insomnia get the short end of the stick.

Joe M

Sad, that. Insomnia is a very fine film.

Herman Orff

It would probably be really hard to do a first time watch reaction to it as well. You really need to see it a couple times to really understand it.

Robert C

Inception was okay. Watched it once and never really had any desire to watch again.

Tom W.

I feel as though that one kind of got lost in the pandemic fog for a lot of people... πŸ€”

Byrd N. Hand

Yes please, I'm rhythmically stomping my feet for this. Oppenheimer (2023) must become the runner-up to Inception (2010). Plus, she & Jeremy have already seen Barbie (2023). #OppenheimerForAddieCounts

Alex Tan

Granted, "Following" is his weakest (and least well-known) film. NO ONE reacts to "Insomnia," though, for some reason. πŸ€”

Byrd N. Hand

Hell, I just voted for all of them (because I'll watch them all regardless). πŸ˜‡ Shame you've already seen "The Prestige." πŸ˜•

Byrd N. Hand

Lest we forget about 'Three Amigos'

By the way, Addie, not to overload you with movie recommendations, but if you like Steve Martin so much, it is a CRIME, as you would put it, if you have not seen "The Jerk." Also, you would probably like "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," an 80's film that is purposely done in black and white and combines clips of old movies with Steve Martin edited into them to look like he's part of the plot, or rather, that the plot of a bunch of old, famous, films, some noir, is incorporated into the plot of the movie.

Zachary Huneycutt

Inception, all the way!!! But.... I do need to see Oppenheimer still. So, I guess I can't vote for Oppenheimer. :( Hopefully it's not really the best Christopher Nolan film....

Zachary Huneycutt

Oppenheimer is a must watch no matter what. Even if it don't win, it's so dang good. It's also a new movie coming out, potential to bring lots of viewership πŸ˜‰

LightsCameraJake

I think Memento should be first. It’s like eating a chef’s amuse bouche and then knowing exactly what great dishes to expect the rest of the evening.

Julian San

Love Memento and Inception, didn't really care for Tenet.

Luis Fernandez

Plenty of good movies, but to me Memento is the best reaction experience.

Alex Ch

I found Oppenheimer to be a very interesting movie that I'm glad I watched, but probably not one I'll watch again any time soon.

Patrick Egan

I know right. And Inception (2010) is sweeping this poll. I do hope we give Oppenheimer (2023) a boost because I would love to see Addie watch both movies.

Alex Tan

No love for Tenet, that's sad.

Robert C

Inception is a great film. Just make sure to pay lots of attention. BTW, you skipped Following (1998). That was Nolan's debut.

EddsHedz

Memento getting slept on.. shame. But Inception is a good watch.

Quigonjim25

Inception is one of the best movies of all time! Tenent is the most confusing of all time! But still awesome!

Mark Dahlen

OBJECTIVE: Let's make Inception (2010) & Oppenheimer (2023) tie each other so that Addie watches both movies.

Alex Tan

Happy Tuesday, Addie! 😊 All great choices. My vote went to "Inception". "Tenet" and "Oppenheimer" are my other two choices. Have a great day today! 😊

Randee Carreno

I think Inception is Nolan's best work, but I also had to add a vote for Memento, it's such an interesting watch.

Patrick Egan

Happy Tuesday, Addie. All are great choices but my votes go for Dunkirk (2017), Tenet (2020) & Oppenheimer (2023).
