"My top six Nolan films all make it into my "50 Favorite Movies" list. The twist is so great, and all of the trickery is so cool. The atmosphere and visuals are absolutely incredible, and the whole thing is mind-blowing. A true masterpiece. "

"When people hear the name Christopher Nolan they usually think of The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception first. Sadly The Prestige is very overlooked. It is definitely his best movie."
