Simply incredible

Although this is a fantastic observation on nihilism it's not this underlying theme that makes me like Fight Club so much.
Firstly, it's the direction - Fincher gives his films a fantastic noir-ish feel. It's a different style to the noir of Se7en, indeed I love how Fincher has created a noir that is not hidden from society, but is out in modern life. It's beautifully and originally shot (and a little beside the point, but it has a fantastic soundtrack). Secondly I am a huge admirer of both Brad Pitt and Edward Norton who both put in great performances here. Meatloaf, Helen Bonham Carter (an incredible change of accent), Jared Leto and a personal favourite of mine - Eion Bailey make an excellent supporting cast. The storyline, despite it's deeper meaning, is fantastic. One gets a real understanding with the characters and it's keeps you engrossed.
A must see.
