Favorite David Fincher Film? Or Rank Them?

[Koza]

Massive Fincher fan here. He's my favourite director. All of his films are superbly directed and I can't wait to see The Social Network and I'm really curious to see what he does with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake. Anywho, my list!

1. Fight Club - If I had to pick a "perfect movie", for me, it would be Fight Club. I've seen this movie countless times and every time I jst sit there watching in awe at what Fincher and co. had created. A masterpiece.

2. Se7en - Another masterpiece. Pretty much on par with Fight Club. Fincher creates dark moody imagry in his films and it's on total display here. The ending still rocks me whenever I see it.

3. Zodiac - It always baffles me when people say that they don't like this movie. I'd even call this a masterpiece too. Am I going too far with the word "masterpiece" here? Probably. But this is a movie that I watch in awe at the amount of detail, accuracy and all around fantastic film making on display here.

4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - I really do love this movie. I can understand why people compare it to Forrest Gump, but it's really unfair to say this is a lesser movie because it has a similar aspect to another film.

5. Panic Room - After watching this again recently, for the first time in years, I'd forgotten how good this movie actually is. Fincher himself called this a "Good B-Grade movie" and I agree in the sense that it's a sort of standard thriller that is absolutely elevated due to his direction. In the hands of a lesser director, this movie would be a stock standard thriller with nothing special about it.

6. The Game - This is a thriller that, despite Fincher's fantastic directing and deeper storyline than Panic Room, I found not that special. I've seen it twice and, while it's a good thriller, there's something about it which doesn't latch onto me as much as his other films. I've never been a massive Douglas fan to begin with and the ending wasn't anything special despite the big twist. Still, a better than average thriller.

7. Alien 3 - Not as bad as what most people make it out to be. Considering the conditions Fincher was working with (Uncomplete script, studio interference, etc) he made a pretty good film. Had he been given better control of the movie and set script to work with, it probably could have been great.

2- Se7en
3- Zodiac
4- Fight Club
5- Curious Case of Benjamin Button
6- Alien3

The Social Network is now my #1 David Fincher film. The 2 and 3 spots are continuously alternating between Fight Club and Zodiac.

Can a Moderator reset the poll and add The Social Network in?

Since you included favorite David Fincher film, I would say Alien 3 simply because if I were marooned on a deserted island, I would like to have my BD equiped laptop and my Alien BDs. Otherwise, I have enjoyed the other films he has directed but he is not my favorite director.

[sfmarine]

This is a hard one..but The Game is my number 1 choice..followed closely by Fight Club and Se7en.

[Bunker]

1. Zodiac
2. The Social Network
3. Fight Club
4. Se7en
5. The Game
6. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
7. Panic Room
8. Alien 3

[rockstarnati]

1.) Zodiac
2.) Se7en
3.) Fight Club
4.) The Social Network
5.) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
6.) Alien 3

The first 3 are all really close calls. Benjamin Button was really slow, but I have a feeling I will like it more upon repeat viewings. Social Network was good, don't get me wrong, but I think it was highly overrated. Again, it might grow on me once I watch it on blu. As for The Game, I never actually finished watching it. And I either don't remember Panic Room or I never saw it.. or paid enough attention to it.

Despite these facts, David Fincher is pretty much my favorite director.
