So what is your favourite film directed by Fincher?
Mine is by far "Fight Club" - just fantastic!

I'd say Fight Club, too. Hey, maybe yopu should add a poll to this thread.

Mine is The Game. Truly a movie where it felt like Fincher was in sumpreme control of his subject and bringing about his style at an equal handling with the story that felt right.

I liked Seven, but never really thought too highly of the film. In its over reaching dark atmosphere, I saw a dozen bad thrillers but the only difference with this film is that there was a good story to it.

Fight Club was smart and inventive for a good portion of the time, but shot itself in the foot with the revelations and twists that never added up to their hype and spoke little of pushing the subject.

Panic Room was also handled well for its story, but never progressed the story in a way to really make it effective for how simple the story was. It could have been an even more patient film than it was.

Even though the majority will be Fight Club, I've turned the thread into a poll. Hope you don't mind, Spike.

Rock on buddy.  But that avatar's gotta go.
Only I think Se7en ishis best, followed oh so close by The Game.
Fight Club-Christ, no.  He didn't have control of his material.  :roll:

As I've said before, The Game and Panic Room are my favorites. I honestly can't understand the fuss over Fight Club OR Se7evn. I ran right out to see Fight Club the day it opened, and I was just floored by disappointment. "Underwhelmed" would be an understatement. I just felt someone with a lot of half-baked theories had been given an obsene amount of money to very slickly but not very enjoyably expound on them for 2 hours. I'll take How to Get Ahead in Advertising for a sounder take on the themes and leave Fight Club for those who can stand the hypocrisy of someone who owes their career to corporate advertising- and who didn't mind releasing their film through a giant entertainment conglomerate- wagging their finger and scolding about how evil those things are.

For entirely different reasons than mine, PTA also really seemed to have despised Fight Club.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

As a Fight Club fan, I'm totally offended by that.
