All-time classic social satire . I saw Fight Club in the theaters in '99, not knowing anything about Chuck Palahniuk at the time and figuring at best it would just be a decent action movie.  What I saw absolutely blew me away as a film that makes one *question* life, consumerism and where we're going as a society.  It was far better than any standard action/thriller could have been; so often it triggered in me brief moments of introspection ("how much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight", "if you died right now how would you feel about your life?", the whole Raymond K. Hessel scene); intellectual script-writing hilariously witty in some places and profoundly philosophical in others, and to top it all off probably the most innovative (albeit difficult to believe) surprise ending in film history cement Fight Club as a cult classic with a multi-layered, complex message that would make it perfect for a University student review essay.    Today, 7 years and several Palahniuk books, Fight Club tee shirts and posters later; after making my Internet banking, credit card, phone, online gaming and ISP logins "Tyler Durden"; after police found a bunch of high schoolers in another county in my state imitating the movie in a local barn when they were busted after coming home to their parents with bloody noses; after several people have read my email addy and quoted the movie or shot back a quick "Heyyy.... A FIGHT CLUB FAN!"- the movie remains needless to say, my all-time favorite.  There is very little grey area with people who've seen it (look no further than the rated reviews here)- most either like it or hate it.  If you're a more intellectual "thinker" and a little graphic violence and foul language doesn't easily offend you, give it a viewing (or read the novel if you're more bookworm than movie buff).    The sign of a good song is that its melody and lyrics stay in your head long after you've finished listening to it.  The sign of a good *movie* is not only that its scenes and classic one-liners from an extremely intelligently-written script replay in your mind because they're just THAT memorable, but that its message is so timely, relevant and resonant to modern life with many people that it's still talked about today.  There are message boards on the Net still discussing and debating new talking points about the movie TODAY, 7 years later; there aren't too many other films that have sparked this kind of intelligent, thoughtful and self-exploratory discussion that to this day is still ongoing.  Some of the more misogynistic scenes ("I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need") are cast in a new light given Palahniuk's recent coming out of the closet, surprising many fans.    On to the DVD itself.  I own many, and this one contains the most extra material including but not limited to extensive commentary, Fight Club paraphernelia, a couple hilarious PSA's and a cool music video.  It's considered by many to be one of the most comprehensive DVD's ever produced.  As to negatives: the film has some fairly graphic violence and a great deal of cussing & cursing, the latter of which detracts from a script (IMO).  If you can move past this, get this DVD or at least give it a rent and watch what is destined to be one of the most talked-about classics of all time
