I've only seen two of those (and Fight Club wouldn't do me much good as a mystery now, I'm spoilered to hell and back). Donnie Darko I was half-convinced for years that I'd dreamed.

The Prestige, though, I thought working it out was most of the point? That was the whole theme: the amount of hard work that went into one effect, and how the thrill of magic was mostly in trying to figure out how it was done. The central debate around Angier's 'using real marvels to create fake ones' vs Borden's use of more mundane trickery, what the methods cost and how the audience reacted to them ...

Actually, on a thematic level, the film is pretty much perfectly suited to this comment thread, now that I look at it.
