I’ve seen The Illusionist multiple times — Ed Norton is one of my favorite actors. But The Prestige is a brilliant movie on every single level — casting and acting; plot development and twist; the meta narrative of the movie itself to a magic trick; the analogous battle of scientists vs magicians…geez I could go on. Regardless, the magic in the Illusionist doesn’t even REALLY make sense, and I remember the final resolution being a real stretch. I vote Prestige.
