Hadn't check IMDB top 250 in some years but Interstellar was 31 when I last checked and now it's 25. Shit's going backwards. True masterpiece.
Goat: Interstellar
Great: TDK, TDKR, Dunkirk, Tenet
Very good: Oppenheimer, Memento, Inception
Good: Insomnia, BB, Following, The Prestige
Tenet and Oppenheimer could exchange places.

I think the top10 will change again after rewatches but for now I am:

1)Dunkirk
2)The Dark Knight
3)Oppenheimer
4)Interstellar
5)The Prestige
6)Memento
7)Batman Begins
8)Inception
9)Tenet
10)The Dark Knight Rises
11)Insomnia
12)Following

Clearly besides TDK I prefer his less "popcorn" films.

Nolan is one of the few directors over 10 deep in his filmography and I like everything he's done. I think I can only also say that for Scorsese and Tarantino.

Broken up into sections because each of them alternate with one another depending on mood. Oppenheimer has a good chance of boosting up into the top 3 or 4.
