Hey I directed jim here and then saw I hadn't done a list.

1. Fight Club- "I'd fight Gandhi"
2. Se7en- "John Doe has the upper hand"
3. Zodiac- "Are you sure no one else is in the house?"

4. Social Network
5. Alien 3

6. Panic Room
7. The Game

This made me realise that I don't really like The Game at all. I further realised it's because I've sat through it twice and can't remember much about it. It didn't hold my attention. Maybe if you reversed Douglas and Penn it would work, or at least be more interesting. (I'm going back to amend saying it was "good".)

I could not bring myself to see B Button, doesn't matter how much I like Fincher.

1. Se7en (#22 of All Time)
2. Fight Club (#36 of All Time)
3. The Social Network (#46 of All Time)
4. The Game
5. Alien 3
6. Zodiac
7. Panic Room

8. Gone Girl
9. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
10. Mank
11. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button



The Assembly Cut of Alien 3 has some improvements and some new problems. The film would fall where it is in either form.

5. Se7en
4. Zodiac
3. The Social Network
2. Fight Club
1. The Game

I will try to post thoughts on The Game later in a separate thread.  It's a movie that I respond to so strongly because of it's humanity.  But more on that later.

Fight Club is brilliant on a whole other level that I almost feel compelled to put it as my #1, but it would simply be dishonest of me to say that I like it more than The Game.  Another viewing perhaps might change that.

Me too, but for the life of me I can't figure out why.

It's in my marathon, but based on the responses in this thread, I think I might skip it.
