Tough choice, for me personally it's gotta be that first shot of the Joker from behind. Iconic.

@Dibyayan_Chakravorty ,

My favorite shot is from Interstellar.

Nobel Prize winner Kip Thorne worked closely with the VFX team to nail the look of the film’s black hole, named Gargantua. In Interstellar (2014) the black hole was so scientifically accurate it took approx 100 hours to render each frame in the physics and VFX engine.

The photograph shows a red-orange circle made out of dust and gas that forms the outline to the black hole, which is located 55 million light years away from Earth in the Messier 87 galaxy. The “Interstellar” black hole was created using a new CGI rendering software that was based on theoretical equations provided by Thorne and a group of researchers. The new technology led Thorne to discover information about the gravitational lensing and accretion disks surrounding black holes.

By the way, Christopher Nolan stated during an interview that he used Dr. Kip Thorne as a consultant on Oppenheimer. Dr. Thorne attended lectures by Oppenheimer when Thorne was a graduate student; Thorne explained that Oppenheimer had a great ability to summarize and simplify comments so that everyone in attendance could better understand.

Thanks.

But, 'Transcendence (2014)' is not a film that is directed by Nolan. He was the producer for this film.

Also, I am keeping the remaining 10 spots in my list of the upcoming Nolan movie releases including 'Oppenheimer'.

Thanks. I intended to ask @Dibyayan_Chakravorty that question, but it slipped my mind when I was interrupted by one of our dogs.

I haven't seen Oppenheimer yet. I have no idea which shots from the film are iconic as per the film perspective.
