The GF and I watched The Illusionist last night; it was her time to pick. What an excellent movie. The setting is early 1900's Vienna. Check it out.

I liked it.

I really enjoyed this movie and I think that the Prestige, another turn of the century magician movie, came out around the same time. It was really good too.

Agreed. I find both movies enjoyable and worthy of watching every 1-3 years.

I’ve seen The Prestige and enjoyed it immensely.
Will give The Illusionist a try.

^ ^ ^ Just the reverse here.

I'll be checking out The Prestige tonight.

Agree. Both movies came at the same time. Both excellent. Definitely worth your time

When we first put it on I didn't think I'd like it but I was very wrong. An excellent movie and I think Edward Norton is under rated.

I've seen The illusionist and The Prestige. Enjoy both movies.

The actor that plays the crown Prince is excellent. So is Paul Giamotti.
It was a sleeper of a movie.

Will watch it tonight. Thanks for the tip. I now have a LONG list of movies, thanks to the other thread.

Yeah, me too. I printed out f2's selections and will be checking them out. I've watched a whole lot of flicks and have only heard of two of them. I have great respect for his judgment and taste.

Be sure to watch both of these excellent movies to the end -- they can be a little hard to follow at times. No spoilers, but think of The Usual Suspects.
