DUNKIRK is the antithetical war movie, avoiding big speeches, generals in rooms discussing strategy, and instead focuses on the terror of dive bomber screams and deafening artillery. Nolan draws from Alfred Hitchcock & David Lean to deliver one of the best war films ever.

The original IMAX trailer for OPPENHEIMER had me sweating in my seat.

I didn’t instantly fall in love with TENET. However, compelled to understand why, I rewatched it several times. Until I realized I love it for moments like this, when the senses are overwhelmed by massive, chaotic spectacle. An inverted car chase? Yes. I do love this.

Someone made a video of Nicolas Cage as Superman fighting a giant spider in Seedance 2.0. Hollywood’s days are numbered!

Rewatching BATMAN BEGINS and I can't help but notice modern superhero films rarely have this kind of epic sense of grandeur anymore. BEGINS partially rocks because the first hour simply rules and we don't even see Bale as Batman until over an hour into the film.

Christopher Nolan describes this scene as his proudest moment as a director. I’ll never forget watching this for the first time in 2011 as a prologue in front of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL at the Navy Pier IMAX. The audience erupted into applause at the end.

I've read THE ODYSSEY contains some of the best spectacle in Christopher Nolan's career. I really believe Nolan has spent his entire career building up to this. For my money, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES contains some of Nolan's best action, notably the fight between Batman and Bane.

Christopher Nolan initially declined to incorporate The Batmobile in BATMAN BEGINS. It wasn't until a studio executive insisted that he chose to reinvent The Batmobile as The Tumbler, a hybrid between a Lamborghini and a Humvee. I saw The Tumbler in Chicago. It was a beast.

BATMAN BEGINS will always be my favorite Batman film for scenes like this. Christopher Nolan made Bruce Wayne a fully formed, multi-dimensional character for the first time in live-action. It's hard to explain how much of a breath of fresh air this was back in 2005.

This would not have had the same impact watching it for the first time on Netflix.

Rewatching MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and I am once again reminded this is the best action film of all time.

I’m sorry but Ryan Gosling has always been a tremendous actor who elevates everything he’s in. Here is unequivocal evidence.

Rewatched MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT. This is the most straight forward "action thriller" of the franchise. It's also the M:I film where the Christopher Nolan influences feel very prominent, from the editing to Lorne Balfe's incredible score. The most thrilling M:I film.
