If you see only one period drama involving magicians, see The Prestige. This is one of those films you need to see early before someone spoils it for you by revealing the secret.

Wow, it kicked The Illusionist off the list, huh? I think I might be seeing it tonight…Loved Memento and Batman Begins, and I likes me the magicians, so I think I’ll give it a whirl…*hugs*
Ok, so where did you find “Daywatch”? I wasn’t aware it was out yet in the US….
Daywatch came out in Russia some time ago, so it is available through the usual internet channels.I would imagine it will be released theatrically next year. Dusk Watch comes out in Russia next year as well, but I suspect it won’t make it here until 2008.
I have to protest the bumping of The Illusionist. Perhaps it was just that I’d already read the (excellent) book, but I didn’t think The Prestige was nearly as good as the Illusionist, or as magical.
The Prestige wasn’t as magical, but I thought it was more clever than the Illusionist. Early on in the Illusionist, it was clear there was going to be a happy twist ending. I had no idea what was going to happen in The Prestige.
