In this second entry on this list courtesy of Christopher Nolan, two magicians in the early twentieth century vie for the title of greatest magician alive. In a great twist, we discover that Christian Bale's character Alfred Borden had a twin brother all along to make his famous tricks possible. But it is when we learn that Nikola Tesla has created a cloning machine and not a transporting machine that the rug is pulled out from under us, taking this movie from great to epic. The philosophical implications regarding the cloning a person are interesting as hell. Whether Hugh Jackman's character Robert Angier is a clone or the original is sure to provoke many a discussion. This scene, quite simply, is still jaw dropping in its audacity and intelligence.
