You forgot Hugo guys, I’m pretty sure it’s now on Netflix but I could be wrong, it’s a great movie and has some great older effects portrayed in it.

Shade is a good one. Sly is in it. There are scenes in the Magic Castle and plenty of Erdnase references. Almost like an Oceans type scheme. Worth checking out.

Josh and Nelib beat us to it. “The Illusionist” is an outstanding magic movie, but it’s not available through Netflix’s STREAMING service. However, we’ve already taken flak for leaving “Is Anybody There?” off the list.

The illusionist isn’t on Netflix – at least not the streaming side. Awesome movie. In my opinion, the best magic movie ever made, w/ The Prestige coming in close behind.

The idea was to list lesser known movies.

Definitely a good list, but my question is how the heck “The Illusionist” starring Edward Norton didn’t make the cut?? It’s a fantastic film with some great magic sequences!
