I'm saying The Prestige.

I like it even more than The Dark Knight.

You can watch 3 Christopher Nolan films on Netflix right now

Memento
Following (trippy movie)
Insomnia


If you notice Christoper Nolan does movies about "Sleeping and dreaming" and he does them well

He doesn't have many, I'd say Inception for story, score, and the visuals. It just edges out The Prestige and Memento comes in third.

I really like The Prestige, just saw it again the other day, felt it had a better plot than the book. Insomnia was cool too.


How good is Following? Looked at his list and it's the only film of his I haven't seen.
 
The Prestige is hands down my favorite Nolan film. With respect to Christopher Priest, this is the first adaptation where I loved the film much more than the book. Christopher and Jonathan Nolan did a superb job of cross cutting scenes without making the narrative confusing and the payoffs in the film were incredible. Every time I watch the movie, I always catch something that I've never noticed before.

I've never seen that...how is it?

I mean I'm sure it's good, but what's the plot and all that?

From Rotten Tomatoes 
Director Christopher Nolan follows up his breakthrough sophomore film Memento with this remake of a stylish Norwegian thriller. Al Pacino stars as Detective Will Dormer, a Los Angeles Police Department legend who temporarily escapes an internal affairs investigation that may ruin his career by traveling to Nightmute, AK, the remote site of a murder that has the local authorities flummoxed. Along with his partner, Hap Eckhart (Martin Donovan), and the small town's wide-eyed rookie investigator, Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank), the exhausted Dormer probes the brutal slaying of a teenage girl who was rumored to have a secret lover. A clever ruse quickly lures the killer into a police trap, but the suspect escapes and a tragic accident at the scene leaves Dormer at the mercy of the murderer, a pulp crime novelist named Walter Finch (Robin Williams). As Finch plays a dangerous game of extortion with Dormer, the detective's mental health deteriorates rapidly from guilt over his complicity in a crime and sleep deprivation compounded by the lack of darkness in the land of the midnight sun. Meanwhile, the bright and dogged Ellie continues putting the pieces of a complex puzzle together despite Dormer's skillful attempts to lead the investigation toward the right suspect, but away from his own malfeasance.
 
The Prestige.

Inception is an impressive movie, but the Prestige is a far more satisfying movie overall.
 
the prestige, inception, and memento are movies i just cannot pick a favorite. whatever one is the most recent watched gets favored, but they're all incredible. kinda like how I favor batman begins over dark knight when I watch BB, but TDK takes the cake after I watch it. Just can't decide. Nolan is my favorite director hands down, the guy I feel doesn't sell out like everyone else in the business and truly cares about his craft
