How Well Do You Know The Films Of Christopher Nolan?

That's right, Christopher Nolan's best known short film is Doodlebug! It features a man (Jeremy Theobald) trying to crush a bug before things take a strange twist. Bonus points if you knew that the other options were all nicknames of aircraft, just like the Doodlebug was the nickname for the V-1 flying bomb.

So you probably noticed that these are all characters in Stanley Kubrick films, but only one of them is used as an alias, and that's Danny Lloyd (The Shining). The other options were from 2001: A Space Odyssey (Dave Bowman), Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (Merkin Muffley) and Eyes Wide Shut (William Harford)

One of these things is not like the others. Quay is a short documentary about the identical twin brothers who are both influential stop-motion animators. Christopher Nolan has not made any films about the Wachowskis, the Coens, or, believe it or not, Gary and Martin Kemp.

Yup, it's Je Ne Regrette Rien by Edith Piaf, which of course features in the film itself as a trigger song. The infamous foghorn noise from the soundtrack is just a slowed down version of the horns from the start of the song. Don't you kind of wish it was Ça Plane Pour Moi though?

It's a close run thing! Memento was nominated for two Oscars - Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing - but won neither. The Dark Knight was nominated for eight Oscars - Supporting Actor, Sound Editing, Cinematography, Film Editing, Art Direction, Makeup, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects - but only won the first two. Inception was also nominated for eight - Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Visual Effects, Best Picture, Original Screenplay, Original Score and Art Direction - and it won the first four of those. Interstellar was nominated for five - Visual Effects, Original Score, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Production Design - and only won for Visual Effects. So the winner is Inception, with four wins! It's also interesting to note that despite all those wins, Nolan is yet to take home an Oscar himself.

Nolan remained involved in the DCEU after he left the Batman series, helping to guide the extended universe. He is credited as an executive producer on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but he only gets a story credit on one film, and that's Man of Steel. Christopher Nolan's Suicide Squad will have to remain one for your dreams/nightmares.

You got it - Cillian Murphy crops up in all three films, which also makes him the first villain to reappear in any of the Batman films so far (as played by the same actor). Liam Neeson appeared in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises, Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced Katie Holmes as Rachel in just The Dark Knight, and Jeremy Irons of course doesn't even play Alfred in *this* trilogy. You'll have to give Zack Snyder a ring to get the address for that Wayne Mansion.

During Memento, Leonard tells the story of Sammy Jankis, a man he met during his old job as an insurance investigator. Sammy suffered from the same condition as Leonard does now, and it was Leonard's job to decide if his condition was mental (meaning he wouldn't receive an insurance payout) or physical. Leonard decides on the former, and it puts doubts in the mind of Sammy's wife. She is diabetic and it is Sammy's job to inject her with her daily insulin. She lies about how many times he's injected her one day, reasoning that his love for her will override his condition and stop him from overdosing her. *Spoiler* She's wrong.

That's right, one hour on the planet equals a whopping seven years back on Earth, leading to the classic scene where Cooper watches 23 years' worth of video messages from his daughter once he returns to the spaceship. Fans of Cristian Mungiu will recognise what the other options were...

Nolan likes to slip in references to his other films here and there. He arguably came close to using the same name twice with Alfred the butler (Michael Caine) in the Dark Knight trilogy and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) in The Prestige. But, those characters' full names differ. There's only one name that appears exactly the same in two films, and that's Cobb, in Inception and Following. What's more, the character is a kind of thief in both films, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Alex Haw respectively.

It's a close-run thing, but The Dark Knight takes it, with a 94% rating. Memento managed 92%, Inception 86% and Interstellar only 71%.
