The Prestige (2006)

Hugh Jackman is still a hunk, yes.

And David Bowie as TESLA, in a movie? He even managed to LOOK like the man, let alone act like i've always imagine him as acting.

(all the best actors are named DAVID, i swear they are!! Here's even more proof!)

Fabulous. Worth watching, if only for the history lesson on Tesla. Truly fantastic.

I love The Prestige. I still need to get it on DVD.

They should make a movie about the feud between Edison and Tesla. The two wrote a series of vitriolic essays back and forth that became known as The War of Currents (which is a perfect title, IMO), but the notion that Edison had goons spying on Tesla made my brain just go all geek-giggly. Going with your "David" theory, I'll just say I watched part of "Click" the other day and Hasselhoff was brill in it. ;)
