If you could see just one movie in your lifetime...

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2006)

A modern masterpiece, nothing short of cinematic genius. Saw this movie first in high school and no other movie, to date, has made the impact on me that Fight Club has. It's a philosophically insightful critique of western society. Not to mention the camera work and dialog are superb. When I first saw it I didn't even have to look to find out who the director was, the lighting simply screamed Fincher. Fincher will always be one of the best modern directors but this film is undoubtedly the high point of his career. Rarely does a film come along that truly pushes the boundaries set by society in the way that this one does. Already achieving cult status this movie, I have no doubt, will go down in history as one of the greatest films ever made.
