My ranking is

1 TDK
2 Inception
3 Interstellar
4 Batman Begins
5 Memento
6 TDKR
7 Dunkirk
8 The Prestige
9 Insomnia


Never saw The Following. I should.

I could compare them and make lists. Now I'm 32 and I haven't seen some of these movies in over a decade, and I barely remember them anymore. Also, my brain doesn't work as well because I am so old. Is The Following better than Insomnia? I don't know anymore, but I knew once.

Perhaps. But it’s a story that couldn’t be told by any other director I can think of.

I don't think it takes much unique vision to make a movie about dreams that looks like a police procedural.

Come on, the city folding over itself, the spinning hotel room battle, the ski warfare (to a lesser extent), all that stuff was badass.

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.

granted i have seen many movies that would elicit such delight (last one i think i saw was the original pet semetary and people where hooting and hollering when the scene intercut between the baby and the tractor trailer)
