9) The Prestige (2006)
Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Prestige is about two rival magicians, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, competing to create the ultimate illusion. The film’s complexity lies in its twists, especially the revelation of Borden’s secret (he has a twin) and Angier’s use of a cloning machine. Viewers must carefully track the dual timelines and subtle clues to fully appreciate how the magicians’ obsession with outdoing each other leads to tragic consequences. The story demands a second viewing to catch all the foreshadowing and misdirection.
