In the grand scheme of things, "Fight Club" is less about a group of people who like to fight than about how the commercialism inherent in our society drives people over the edge. The unnamed narrator (Edward Norton) joins up with soap-maker Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) to found Project Mayhem, whose goal is to undermine everything corporate. Part of their modus operandi involves starting fistfights. But at some point, the narrator realizes that it's going too far...and he's helpless to stop the madness.
"Fight Club" was certainly one of the best movies of 1999. Not just because it was a full-scale indictment of commercialism, but also because the acting, script and direction are all top-notch. This movie is one of the best examples of a modern classic.
