Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman is tasked with adapting a book by Susan Orlean into a screenplay. However, his issues and freeloading twin brothers make the job extremely difficult. Nicolas Cage plays the role of identical twins while Meryl Streep portrays the role of Susan. The story is gripping with some extraordinary performance. However, this 2002 movie is definitely not meant for toddlers.
4. The Identical
As the name suggests, this 2014 movie is about identical twins Drexel Hemsley and Ryan Wade (both played by Blake Rayne), who were separated at birth during the Great Depression. Both brothers were born with drive and passion for music but took separate yet converging paths. While one becomes a famous rock ‘n’ roll star, the other, also a gifted musician, struggles to please his loving but controlling father constantly. This timeless tale of love will take you on a musical journey from the 1950s to the 1970s.
5. Legally Blondes
This 2009 teen comedy film is a spin-off of “Legally Blonde” (where Reese Witherspoon played Elle Woods). It stars identical twins Annie and Izzy as Elle Woods’s young, blonde British cousins, who move to California from England for a better life. However, when framed for a crime at the prep school, they use their wits to clear their names.
Other than these movies about identical twins, you can also watch “The Parent Trap” (1998), “Switching Goals,” “Passport to Paris,” “Billboard Dad,” and “When in Rome.” These movies will keep you glued to the screen all the way till the end.
