Let's face it, in '99 everyone wanted to be Tyler Durden. But what are you guys' thoughts on the film? Think it stands up as well as the novel?

Greatest film of the '90s, and one of my 2 faves of all time. A true psychological mindf*** of a movie. I love the dark humor spattered throughout, as well as the anti-commercialism message.

OK. I'll ask...
Why are you talking about Fight Club?

Seriously, you guys have to stop breaking the first two rules!
This is like the fourth thread we've had about it.

I am very nervous that we continue to talk about Fight Club.

I'll only say this... HIS NAME IS ROBERT PAULSON! Incidentally, I always was the one who bust out this quote, not the 'First rule of fight club...' quote. To me, the 'don't talk about Fight Club' thing isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be.

What's really sad is, despite being one of the most influential and quoted movies of the 90s, I remember this was actually treated horribly by Fox on its initial release and bombed horribly in its theatrical run. Basically, its the most successful cult movie of all time.

Basically, its the most successful cult movie of all time. Indeed it did bomb when it was released, which seems somehow appropriate. A film as anti-commercialism as this one would be made even weirder if it was a box-office smash. I watched it the other day and it inspired me to change my username.

Office Space falls under this catagory

I think Fight Club is a great film and all but I think it's a little bit overrated when it's called one of the greatest films ever.

This thread is bad. We all broke the rule. And now I broke it too. Crap.

My favorite movie ever. Rewatched it a few months ago, and yup...still holds up, I'd say.
And movie > book. The book's ending is just a little too out there, even for Palahniuk.

Yes I think it holds up and may even be a classic with every young person in the future who can identify with the story and the main character. Although I've never been a huge fan of the flick. I'm more a fan of the film making because I like David Fincher. I understand the themes and understand why those characters where fighting each other but the film isn't as profound as the people who made it want it to be in my eyes. Too heavy handed.

I remember when it first came out how the people who hated it and the people who loved it all for the same reason: it glorified violence. Both groups were way off the mark and I always thought that was funny.

Every time I finish a David Fincher movie, I always feel the need to take a long shower.
