6. Dunkirk (93%)

Predicted Critical Consensus: "Christopher Nolan characteristically delivers with a bleak, superbly-acted and visually impeccable war film that stands confidently among the classics."

Nolan's filmography is strongly acclaimed on the whole, and with the insane amount of talent behind this one, it's hard to imagine him screwing it up.

The less-ambitious nature of its grounded war-time premise should ensure stronger reviews than his divisive Interstellar (which scored a disappointingly-but-still-good 71%), as there's simply less room for Nolan to get hyper-convoluted or allow his reach to exceed his grasp.

This could be the movie that not only brings Nolan some of his strongest acclaim but finally gets him fully embraced by the Academy.
