Memento (2000)
One of the first Nolan films that’ll have you scratching your head (in a good way), Memento is a mind-bending flick all about memory and seeing what you want to see. A man with short-term memory loss (he can’t keep new ideas in his head for longer than a few moments) sets out on a quest to find the men who killed his wife and gave him a life-altering head injury.

Insomnia (2002)
Fans of True Detective: Night Country will enjoy this psychological cat-and-mouse thriller starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams as a detective investigating the murder of a young girl in Alaska, and his chief suspect. In a similar vein to True Detective, the cops aren’t entirely innocent in their search for the truth, which only makes the film all the more thrilling.

The Dark Knight (2008)
One of the films Nolan is best known for, The Dark Knight once again stars Bale as the caped crusader alongside many of the returning cast of Batman Begins. It also stars Heath Ledger as the Joker, in what’s one of the best supervillain performances of all time (and won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar after his tragic death in early 2008). If you want to see superhero films at their very best, The Dark Knight is one of the most celebrated films in the genre.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
The final installment in The Dark Knight Trilogy, Bale returns as Batman, this time going up against Tom Hardy as Bane. In a world where MCU movies’ arcs span decades and DC has had to overhaul its entire cinematic division to bring audiences back, it’s refreshing to know there’s at least one solid superhero trilogy that has a strong beginning, middle, and end all the way through.

Dunkirk (2017)
While he’s best known for carrying the psychological thriller genre (and dabbling in action and sci-fi as well), Nolan hit it out of the park with Dunkirk. The historical war film depicts the evacuation of Dunkirk in World War II and stars an ensemble cast, with a mix of greener stars (Fionn Whitehead, Harry Styles, Barry Keoghan, and Tom Glynn-Carney) and more seasoned actors (Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, and Cillian Murphy). While the film didn’t win Best Picture at the 90th Academy Awards, it went home with three awards.

Tenet
The height of Nolan’s WTF brand of movies, Tenet may not be your favorite of the director’s on your first watch, but it’s an unforgettable film that will stick with you—and almost immediately make you want to watch again (and maybe a few more times after that too). Starring John David Washington, Elizabeth Debicki, and Robert Pattinson, it’s a time-travel heist film you’ll have to see to believe.

Oppenheimer
A film that needs little introduction, Oppenheimer is Nolan at his best. Plus, it serves as a career high for actor Cillian Murphy, whose years as a supporting character in many of Nolan’s films finally resulted in a starring role (and one that won him Best Actor, at that). Robert Downey Jr. also nabbed a Best Supporting Actor award for his role in the film.
