Christopher Nolan's been pretty consistent in his career thus far, with all of his major films holding positive average scores on Metacritic and several of them featuring in our list of recent movies that could become classics, but which is his finest?

They all have different things going for them. The Dark Knight is probably the best of his Batman trilogy and a landmark in superhero movies. Inception remains his most talked about film, while Interstellar was perhaps his most ambitious. Memento didn't have anywhere near the budget of his more recent offerings, but is arguably his most effective to date.

You can vote for your favourite in the poll below:

As for Nolan's next film, that will be Dunkirk, a World War II drama about the evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbour of the titular French commune.

It will see him work with actor Cillian Murphy and composer Hans Zimmer once again, and quite bizarrely give a breakout role to One Direction's Harry Styles.

Dunkirk will be the director's first war film, a genre that's been flagging somewhat in recent years.
