I quite liked Inception, the Batmans, and The Prestige. Like too many talented directors his work waxed overblown and turgid as he gained overconfidence and bloated budgets.

Yeah, I'm developing a growing respect for directors like Soderbergh (whom you mentioned in another thread recently) who seem to just make whatever they fancy and not fall into that trap. For example he just made that (relatively) very low budget film Presence, which looks cool. I've never really paid him much attention before but I may have a little Soderbergh buffet over the next few weeks.

 

Saw Memento at a theatre last week and realized I'd never seen it before. Maybe Nolan's best, or one of.
