My "must see" recommendations:
- "The Prestige" - awesome, reaaaaaly good movie... just don't treat it like "OMG, that's impossible". Go along with the story and you'll find it excellent. Kinda like "The sixth sense" in terms of twists and turns.
- "The Departed" + "Internal Affairs" (original version). See Internal Affairs first, then "The Departed" for added pleasure. If you don't like watching spoiled movies or watching 2x, see "The Departed" then.
I'd add "300" but I haven't seen it yet.
anyway.

Glad you popped up the Prestige. The movie is so underratted its scary. The depth is just incredible, yet I do see the qualms with the "real magic", as it isn't built up to, nor really treated that well after.
I'd say you're a complete asshole if you add 300 to that list of well thought out and executed movies.
Anyways, you're recs don't have much rhyme or reason, but these are the movies I find myself returning to...
Gattaca
Shawshank Redemotion
The Others
Monsters Inc.
City of God
