Summary Long before there was Barbenheimer, there was the classic 2006 magician movie clash between The Prestige and The Illusionist. Christopher Nolan's The Prestige featured an outstanding cast led by Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Caine, Andy Serkis, and David Bowie.
Interestingly, both 2006 magician movies were critically acclaimed box office hits that were nominated for Best Cinematography Oscars in the same year. While there was initial speculation and debate surrounding which 2006 magician film was better, it's hard to compete with a Christopher Nolan film, especially one with the leading talents of Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, which remains to this day their only onscreen collaboration.
The Illusionist was rated slightly lower than The Prestige by top critics. Richard Corliss of Time Magazine wrote in his review for The Illusionist, "By the end, the canniest viewers may not be fooled, but -- and you can believe this -- they may be mesmerized.
