Part 2 of 2 for @ZeldaFreak's picks

Never seen it.

Probably Nolan’s best film and that is saying something. A movie that will continue to rise up in critics all time rankings as more years pass. Incredible filmmaking. 9.4/10. 

[ZeldaFreak | 3,600]

Heeey, there's my second pick! I will say that this one's actually a 9 for me, although it's still one of my personal favorites. Probably top... 30 or 40 maybe. There are definitely some other movies that I enjoy more that I could've picked instead of this one, but I think this'll make for a much more interesting poll at the end of the day.

It’s such an incredible film. I definitely “like” a number of Nolan’s other films more such as The Prestige, Batman Begins and even Memento, but I’m not sure they are a better film than this.

Sums up my thoughts exactly.

Those who haven't seen it should definitely check it out when they can.

Top 10 for me. I love Matthew mcconnaughey and time travel type movies. It’s also extremely rewatchable. I’ve probably seen it 10/15 times.

This summarizes the movie perfectly

Lol it's true. I've not seen this movie. I've only seen maybe a minutes worth of clips via memes online.

never seen it, but could be interested, I will have to watch some trailers now.....

[RH | 4,895]

This one is semi-high on my back log, but in general, TV/movie watching isn't high on my priority list.  I did watch a Corridor Crew video on it, where they talked about the effects that went into making the black hole.  They consulted a astro-physicist and used his calculations to model a blackhole.  They took the results to him in post, because they didn't think it looked correct, and the physicist simply respond with "so THAT'S what they look like!"  I appreciate that level of detail.  I have no clue what the film is about, other than space travel, but I'm interested.

Another one that I really want to see, but don't really have the time for right now.  

 

[Californication | 1,477]

I've watched it two or three times. On the first watch, I knew it was good, but it is really hard to say why it's great on the first viewing. I feel like there are still a few things I haven't put together, but as far as space movies go this is top five for me.

I've not seen it either, but I doubt that's a surprise.

[Reed Rothchild | 9,509]

Honestly, one of my least favorite Nolan movies.  But still very good.  Hell, I own it.  I guess I own all of them.  Except Dunkirk, which I haven't seen.

[glazball | 168]

I've only seen it once but would love to see it again.  It's just so long!  The physicist Kip Thorne was consulted for the movie which helps give it a scientific backbone.

Same.  I'd put it above Dunkirk at least, but this is another boring space snoozer for me.

Ooh, I've got to watch Dunkirk again, only seen once.

I remember walking out thinking meh, but same as Interstellar, I think it requires multiple viewings to take it all in. It's a very quiet, slow paced movie, and really requires some empathy to appreciate. If nothing else the scenes in the sky were one of a kind.

7/10. I actually enjoy Interstellar. Most movies about space and time travel really. This is the one Nolan movie I like rewatch.

One of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. If you can turn your brain off for almost three hours, you might be able to call it enjoyable.

The planets are pretty awesome though.

I'd have to turn my brain off at the idea of Matthew McConaughey being an astronaut.
