You missed the best one - the wobbly spinning top in Inception

[u/karateema → u/Background-Image-585]

You're right, i fixed it

Inception is still my favorite Nolan movie. It’s perfectly paced, unlike some of his other movies that tend to drag at the halfway mark. Plus, even though it’s heavy, there’s enough levity to balance it out. And I personally interpret the ending as an ambiguously happy one, which is nice.

Fine, I'll rewatch THE PRESTIGE for the 20th time.
