More movies like The Prestige

[Setharion]

Throw me some mentions guys, i love movies that take you for a ride and make you think...throw me some suggestions please

[DantesForum]

All I can think of is obvious stuff like Sixth Sense, Usual Suspects, Primal Fear, The Others, Memento, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club.

The Others is one of my favorites. When is it coming to Bluray?

Sometimes I wish you could get a partial movie lobotomy and see a movie again for the first time.

[Setharion]

Ha yea that would be killer! I'll check some of those out, so fight club is a good thinker movie?

[DantesForum]

Oh yeah, nothing is what you think.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Not too sure Seth. I watched the Illusionist after the Prestige and I enjoyed it.

Prestige is still my favorite, though.

[Tomtin]

You never saw fight club? Wow! Such an awesome movie. I would also highly recommend Memento, the village, the game, seven, etc. David Fincher and M. Night movies are all golden.

[Khilasa]

M. Night? Golden? lol He hasn't made a decent movie since The Sixth Sense. And he is nowhere near the level of genius that is Fincher and Nolan.

[Tomtin]

I can say I've personally enjoyed all the movies I have watched...the sixth sense, the happening, lady in the water, the village, and signs (my favorite). The only movie I recall not enjoying was unbreakable, but I don't care about comics so that might have something to do with it.

[Setharion]

Yea i gotta say, Unbreakable was really a movie i didnt enjoy..but the others were pretty cool like the happening and lady in the water.

Yea i never seen fight club, i got it on queue for netflix though

[DantesForum]

Dude first rule of fight club; you don't talk about fight club. Especially about it being in your Netflix queue.

Swing away Merle....couldn't stand that movie

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Hey, i recall liking Unbreakable. It's been a while since I watched it though...

Some of these are not going to be just like The Prestige, but they have twists and misdirections:

Lucky Number Slevin

And from the other thread, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I hope you've watched Fight Club by now.

If you haven't seen The Usual Suspects, you should put that next on your queue.

Batman: Under the Red Hood

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

Saw (I absolutely hated the second one and have not seen any others besides the first, but the first is worth watching)

Hero

Donnie Darko

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Pan's Labyrinth

A Beautiful Mind

[Setharion]

I will look into some of those Cus, thanks!

[DantesForum]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is awesome. I really loved that movie for some reason.

[Eventide]

I actually liked Unbreakable as well. Im not into comic books either but i enjoyed the whole premise of the movie with not knowing who Bruce or Samuel really were till close to the end of the movie.

[teylix]

The Usual Suspects and Lucky Number Slevin are MUST see movies.

Doesnt get much better than those for throwing you for a loop.

[The Rustic Cyborg]

If you're just looking for a movie with epic plot twists and ones that make you think like how the Prestige was made, I would have to recommend Lucky Number Slevin, The Illusionist, and maybe Sucker Punch.

[BuckFly]

As Dante suggested, Seth, Memento.

hell yest to that move.


Oh, and definitely Shutter Island, if you haven't seen it.


EDIT: I am stunned that I am the first person to suggest Shutter Island.

Seth, knowing what you like, please see this movie.

[Setharion]

Oh yes, already seen Shutter Island...that was grade A goodness there
