Since his movies have multiple trailers, we've selected the one trailer for each of his nine films that best encapsulated and sold that particular movie.Don't agree with our ranking? Then be sure to sound off in the Comments below!This is by far the most conventional trailer for a Nolan movie. As his first big studio movie, you can certainly tell Nolan didn't have as much pull yet over how his movies should be marketed. This trailer sells Insomnia as a more standard cat & mouse/cop hunting serial killer thriller than the psychological character study it is.The teaser for Interstellar has met with a divided response. Some find it a rather dry, History Channel-like promo that doesn't tell them much about the actual movie; others find it a good pitch for the film's subject matter of exploration.This was Nolan's first feature film, but most people didn't discover it until after Memento was released. The trailer nicely conveys the film's Hitchcockian overtones and unique concept.The film's teaser trailer included narration from Bruce Wayne and plenty of Act One footage of his travels abroad. This second trailer gave viewers a better sense of the origin story, the action, and the menace of Batman . It succeeded in making viewers take Batman seriously again after the campy Batman & Robin had derailed the franchise years before.There are a lot of things going on in The Prestige and this trailer does a great job in breaking down the complicated narrative's basic elements and conveying the mysterious and tense tone of the final film.This third trailer for Nolan's Batman swan song was a big improvement over TDKR's lackluster first teaser (a hospitalized Commissioner Gordon mumbling and sucking oxygen). While the second trailer was also awesome (the football field attack set, the Star-Spangled Banner, class warfare imagery), this final trailer better captured the film's epic scope and sense of hopelessness and finality.What filmmaker wouldn't want such a cool and gripping trailer to sell their breakthrough film? The trailer perfectly conveys the protagonist's fractured mental state, what he's after, and the less than reliable nature of the other characters.This awesome trailer immediately hooks the audience, breaks down the film's high-concept premise, showcases the stellar special effects and ensemble cast, and lodges that "BROOONNNGG!!" sound effect (that so many subsequent movie trailers would do a variation of) firmly in the viewers' minds.This is the trailer that created what would become a fever pitch-level of anticipation for Nolan's second time at Bat. It gave viewers a taste of what was to come from Heath Ledger's ghoulish Joker (the actor died just weeks after this trailer was released), including his "why so serious?" catchphrase, and revealed the movie's amazing truck flip stunt. This is how you create excitement for an event movie.
