If you\u2019ve sat wide-eyed in an IMAX cinema lately, taken aback by the majesty of what Christopher Nolan<\/a> did this year with The Odyssey, you might well have realised that he appears to be operating on a completely different level to anyone else. <\/p>\n

Almost every three years now, we get a new Nolan movie, and almost without fail, he manages to elevate cinema to new heights with what he\u2019s attempting \u2013 filmmaking on a massive scale<\/a>, pushing the limits of audio and visual, dragging career-best performances out of his cast and, like greats including Alfred Hitchcock before him, keeping twists and secrets from us until the very last scenes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It has led, over a near-30-year career, to some genuinely astonishing moments, whether he\u2019s doing franchise blockbusters like Batman or his own bizarrely creative one-offs like\u00a0Memento<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Inception, playing with viewers\u2019 expectations and even time itself like a puppet master.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a look back at half a dozen times that the new master of movies showed us quite how spectacular the ideas in his head could be when translated to the big screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
