The Prestige; most people don't even know there's a book. It's not BAD, but holy shit that movie.
The Prestige. Structured like a mystery puzzle, constantly reframing what you think you know. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale anchor it, with Scarlett Johansson and Michael Caine in key supporting roles.
[The Prestige](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prestige) (2006) and [Memento](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/memento) (2000) are both detail oriented, intelligent movies
I’ve already watched Shutter Island, The Machinist, and The Prestige — three brilliant psychological thrillers, with Shutter Island delivering a shocking twist, The Machinist showing an intense descent into paranoia, and The Prestige exploring a dark rivalry filled with obsession and mystery.
I liked those ones, especially "the prestige"

Children of Men did a fantastic job of showing us the backstory of that world through TV news, newspaper clippings and things happening behind the main character. Amazing world-building.
If so then I once caught The Grand Budapest Hotel, Silver Linings Playbook, and Children of Men back to back to back on a long haul flight.
It's my favourite film of all time and it really feels grounded and real to me because I live in the south east corner of the country that most of it takes place in.
The last two movies even had a plot (somewhat) similar to Children of Men.
