Nolan's films are higher up in the top 250 list.

The Dark Knight - #4
Inception - #14
Interstellar - #32
Memento - #47
The Dark Knight Rises - #62

Kubrick:

The Shining - #58
A Clockwork Orange - #80
Full Metal Jacket - #87
2001: A Space Odyssey - #90

Nolan also has way more votes. And his movies are much better.

My favorites from both:

Kubrick: A Clockwork Orange
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide Shut

Nolan: Memento

Kubrick wins 3-to-1

That's a strong statement. Not so sure I agree.

Oh.

His fans who worship him like some sort of god are just as pretentious as Kubrick ‘s if that’s what you mean

Ridiculous. Nothing Nolan has ever done even approaches Kubrick's "The Killing", "Paths of Glory", "Spartacus", "Lolita", "Dr. Strangelove", or "Barry Lyndon". To even mention comic book movies in the same discussion as any Kubrick movie is ludicrous.

The Top 250 list is meaningless, except as a reflection of the youth and extreme lack of film viewing experience of the voters.

That just means people ranking those movies are dumb.
