AntiMCU:
I might be wrong, but I feel most successful directors in Hollywood can be classified into 3;

The ones that make highly rated, artistic, poetic, Oscar bait films that are continually lauded by critics:
Dennis Villeneuve, Barry Jenkins, Steve Mcqueen, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese etc

The other ones make highly budgeted pop-corn flicks and crowd-pleasers; huge advertising budgets that are sure box office winners for the studios/distributors: (Reviews don't matter)
Jon Favreau, Justin Lin, Mel Gibson, James Wan, Michael Bay etc

The third group make films that lit up the box office, impress critics and take up silverware on Oscar night
Though the catch is that they're very few.

Saw 5 minutes of inception while having dinner and concluded that Nolan is a rare breed that belongs to the third category. Same "Inception" was nominated for 8 Oscar awards and went on to win 4-after having made over 800 million on a 160 mill budget.

Skip over the bat films right down to "Interstellar":700 mill on 160 mill budget, nominated for 5 Oscars and won one.

Then comes "Dunkirk" in 2017; 577 mill on a 150 mill. Same was nominated for 8 Oscars and won 3.

At this point in Nolan's career, dude can command a 350 mill dollars budget for a film: no questions asked.

Which begs the question: What's he doing that other aren't? What makes him so special? Is it possible to impress both sides of the spectrum (Audiences and critics alike)?

What other directors belong in the same category as Nolan?

I'd say Steven Spielberg; check out Jurassic Park, E.T, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan and then we can talk.

Pardon my writing...
