From a technical standpoint he’s definitely up there. I recently rewatched the Dark Knight after some time and despite knowing exactly what’s going to happen I was surprised how well executed the rising tension was.
He’s also an elitist prick who refuses to get on with the times, so I have a feeling he doesn’t have that many more acclaimed films in him.
He’s one of the best just because of The Dark Knight trilogy as far as I’m concerned. But he’s not my favorite, that goes to Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter and James Wan.
Nolan isn’t by far one of the best film directors.

Dr. Strangelove is one of my absolute favourites. Given the theme of nuclear annihilation it fits in with Oppenheimer as well as current events.

Tarkovksy, Bela Tarr, Herzog, Illnias, Lucrecia Martel, Haneke, I kind think of a lot who are better than him in a lot of ways.
