I just finished watching The Prestige (2006), and I have to say..... wow.
I am still having trouble deciding who really was the better magician. Perhaps the Nolan brothers are the answer.

Okay
deanza7, It’s a stunning movie. Now you can go on and watch The illusionist :) It’s at the same level of mystery and atmosphere is fantastic.

I’ll have to check it out!
kresten, I’ll have to watch this🤔
pazukaza, If you haven’t, it is pretty good. Somewhere between 8 and 9/10.
Krakatoacoo, ![]()
Definitely!
moobythegoldensock, who really was the better magician
John Cutter. Angier and Borden have good gimmicks, but they don’t understand magic in the way Cutter does.

I didn’t think about Cutter. That’s a good answer.
dwks, Sadly for me, it’s a one time watch movie cause I already know the plot. Wish my brain got reset function 😂
evranch, I’m not a big movie rewatcher myself, but this is one of those movies to watch again because you know the plot. It’s extremely well crafted, and there are plenty of significant scenes with hidden meaning or foreshadowing to catch on the second watch if you keep your eyes open.
WarmSoda, Absolutely. Trying to catch all the different ways the movie tells you everything before anything is revealed is fun.
My favorite is the little kid that cries because he killed the birds brother.

This and The Sixth Sense are among the few movies that are better on rewatch because you know the twist but the characters don’t.
bionicjoey, It really rewards rewatching IMO. You can appreciate the huge amounts of foreshadowing. The movie tells you exactly what’s going on right from the beginning. But you’re not really looking, because you want to be fooled.
wile_e8, Now go back and watch it again just to see how many details and clues your missed the first time.

I’ve watched it a handful of times and catch something new every time.
Solo, My favorite Nolan movie.
Starb3an, This and the illusionist are both great movies. I immediately think of Red Lights after those 2.

I'll have to add that to my watch list. I hadn't heard of the illusionist until now thanks!
livus, ![]()
They came out at around the same time I think.
Starb3an, They did. It’s kinda like A Bug Life and Antz

Or Dante's Peak and Volcano. I think this phenomenon is called twin films.
ClaretNBlue, I’ve not seen this film for agea! Will watch again over the weekend. What a film!

Christian Bale is just so fucking good in this movie.
livus, ![]()
Yeah he really is. I hadn't realised what a good actor he is until I saw this.

It’s amazing, like every other Chris Nolan movie. His movies are so captivating that you just get drawn into the pictures.
fuzzybee, One of my top 5 favorite movies. I’m due for a rewatch.
ghashul, I just recently saw this again, and it’s still great!
R05, Loved it when it was released, so many layers
