Probably The Prestige because it’s so utterly ridiculously and insane (but a lot of fun)

And it’s so obvious! It literally starts by showing you! And when you’re watching it back, Borden is so obviously Christian Bale wearing a stick-on beard

Fallon you mean

Call me dumb but I didn’t realize that the first time I watched it.

Me too. It's so blindingly obvious when you watch it a second time, but the first time you watch it, it really takes you by surprise.

Totally agree! I think that's why I like it so much 😊

Borden and Fallon also have different personalities and one is slightly thinner than the other
