I've always been a HUGE movie person. My greatest are amongst The Boondock Saints and Wall Street. I tend to judge my movies on their ability to be seen over and over and still generate enthusiasm. Are there enough action scenes? are the love scenes minimal? is there a very epic car chasing scene? Is there enough depth in the character to root for them? Let's just say that i've never seen a film done like those done by Christopher Nolan. I am anti-theatre but two of his films pulled me into a crowded theatre. Inception and Dark Knight were both the kind of films that you could watch on mute and still enjoy them aesthetically. The dramatic orchestra backgrounds, the rise and falls of their protagonists! The use of some of my most discussed childhood concepts like lucid dreaming brought into film.... Now I sound like a fan, but can you tell me---what film can I say that is epic enough to boast about the director. Forget Oscar buzz and all of that! Let's just focus on great entertainment...and it's been a while since Godfather II came out so keep guessing.

P.S Nolan happens to look incredibly....well...amazing, stylistically.
