Hi cinephile (AKA maxencegagne),

Thank you for your poll suggestion.

1. Once someone (including you) respond to a post, only an admin can edit the post.

2. Your poll suggestion is a Face-Off poll, since it only has two choices. There are only two choices; it is more proper to use the word better instead of best. IMDb uses the AP style guide for title capitalization.

Please change the title of your list (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls041482013/) from:
Which Nolan brother is the best.

To:
Face-Off: Which Nolan Brother is Better

or

Face-Off: Which Nolan Brother Writes Better

3. For future reference:
When in doubt about capitalization, use this online tool:
https://capitalizemytitle.com/
Capitalize My Title
Enter your title and select:
"Title Case" and "AP".


4. Please change this sentence:
In term of Writing a screenplay, which Nolan brother between Christopher and Jonathan do you think is the best

To:
In terms of writing a screenplay, which Nolan Christopher and Jonathan do you think writes better?

Can you please clarify how one is to distinguish what parts of a script were written by the respective brothers? If you have some kind of context on who wrote what parts of a screenplay (in those movies where the two brothers share writing credits) on their respective list options? That would be kind of necessary for people to make their respective votes.

Not sure if you can provide this info. making this poll suggestion a guessing game at best.

After 7 months of research, I found something really interesting.

In Batman Begins Jonathan did production rewrites.

In the Prestige and The Dark Knight, Jonathan wrote the first draft. 

In Interstellar almost everything, Christopher Nolan made some corrections.

In Memento Jonathan did the base story (the base idea).

In Inception, Christopher Nolan did everything.

In Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan did everything

In The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan had the idea and wrote the draft.


In Following, Doodlebug, Larceny, and Tarantella, Christopher did everything.

There is one of my sources: https://creativescreenwriting.com/jonathan-nolan-on-interstellar/

I didn't keep all of my sources.

Interesting fact:

There is 3 Nolan brother
1) Jonathan Nolan is a screenwriter
2) Christopher Nolan is director/screenwriter
3) Mathew Francis Nolan is a murderer, but he doesn't have an IMDb page.

The list was revamped to reflect my standards.

1) The awful description was almost rewritten entirely.

2) Now the link is displayed in a more aesthetical way.

3) Their works done separately are listed.

PS: I don't know how I came with such a stupid idea 1 year ago.
