i haven't seen the following, but this probably isn't far off from how i'd rank them...i could be convinced to put inception #2

The Following wasn't bad and a good debut for Nolan. You can see how it shapes his bigger movies later in his career. You could probably move TDK, Inception, Interstellar, Prestige around and it would be ok too. These are all pretty close.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

how have you not seen Memento

I don’t know. I’ll try to watch it and update my list

[Ello Sailor]

Don't you dare post again until you've seen Memento. Amateur hour.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

how did i miss that memento wasn’t included...it might be my number 2

[blueviper]

Ok, I’ve seen Memento. That’s a mind bender. Whew. Very good movie. I can’t believe it took me 20 years to see it.

I've caught the Nolan Batman movies on cable a few times over the last few years and my main takeaway is how relentless the pacing is. Everything is so goddamn fast and minimally fleshed out to the point of feeling almost perfunctory. Like... Gordon or Lucius Fox has to stand here and say just this exact line which conveys just enough information to shove us head-first into the next setpiece, with not a second to spare. The scenes with Ledger's Joker are some of the only ones that feel like they breathe a little.

Rocky 5 is great.

[The Argonaut]

Rocky 5 is great.

Explain yourself. I'd contend that this is the only entry in the series that isn't quality

[bart]

By the time any of these movies can release, there will be no movie theaters left.

That new Mel Gibson Santa Claus movie looks glorious....Walton Goggins!!

Sometimes I remember that Philip Seymour Hoffman is dead and it makes me very sad.

Are there any movies that depict the attempted coup in heaven, the ensuing war, and Lucifer's eventual exile?

I'm agnostic but grew up super Catholic and that story always sounded so badass to me. I don't remember ever seeing it adapted as a film...

It looks like we very nearly had an Alex-Proyas-helmed, Bradley-Cooper-as-Lucifer, comparatively-straight adaptation of Milton's Paradise Lost about a decade ago, but it was scrapped before production.

Since that doesn't exist, the closest you might come is maybe Aronofsky's Noah for some sweet angel battles. I haven't seen it, but based on the description and the cast, you might consider The Prophecy (1995).
Also, here's a list from IMDB of 'Fallen Angel' movies: https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?ke ... llen-angel
