   If Dunkirk (2017) wore Greek mythology as its armor, this would be the result.

7. 7
   Memento (2000)

   ★★★★½
8. 8
   Insomnia (2002)

   I experience this as a tense psychological detective film where Nolan uses pacing, color, and performance to make me physically feel the character’s unraveling state.

9. 9
   Batman Begins (2005)

   ★★★★½
10. 10
    Oppenheimer (2023)

    I forgot how haunting the score is right from the start.

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

    This is a rewatch for me because I did not fully get it the first time.
