Drop your David Fincher rankings in the comments! Hot takes abound...
I understand that the list is personal and I agree with this, but I think that The game should be among the first positions since I see that many people do not understand what its essence really is. Especially when you explain what the movie is about, you are totally wrong like many others.
Se7en is my fav movie of all time and I believe Fincher's best.
Can't argue too much with your thinking it's his best. What movies round out your top 3 favorite Fincher films? Thanks for watching!
It's a perfect movie. Not 1 wasted scene
@@jamesg8175 Yeah, the pacing of Se7en is also perfect. I remember watching it for the first time, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and it just flew by. Also, compared to Zodiac, Se7en is way more rewatchable. I’ve probably watched Se7en like 50 times, but Zodiac only about 3. The pacing in Zodiac wasn’t as good either-it felt like it dragged in parts.
While watching 'Zodiac' I just assumed that the basement scene was fictional and was only added to increase the tension. However, I read the history and found out that the event actually happened.
I seriously think that’s one of the most bone chilling scenes ever put to film in a non-horror movie. It gives me chills every time I watch it. Fincher is the modern master of tension!
Girl with a dragon tattoo deserved better, that movie was fantastic
Still a very good movie, but the Fincher catalog is extremely diverse and it’s just not one of my absolute favorites!
Totally agree with the top 2, Fincher nails that genre and feel of a movie
I knew I liked you, Josh! Haha yeah those two movies are two of the absolute best ever made in my opinion. Looking forward to your thoughts on The Killer. Thanks for watching, dude!
Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Game, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, The Social Network, Panic Room, Alien 3. I haven't seen Mank, Benjamin Button, or The Killer. Honestly, the first four are pretty much interchangeable for me. Great video as always man.
It's always a good list when Alien 3 is at the bottom haha. Thanks for watching, dude!
This channel is really underrated, you’re awesome!
Hey thanks so much for saying that, really appreciate the kind words. What do you think your top 3 favorite Fincher films are? Thanks for watching, Aidan!
Zodiac is a cinematic masterpiece!
Couldn’t agree more, definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. What do your Fincher rankings look like? Thanks for watching!
Probably zodiac, then seven, girl with the dragon tattoo and gone girl. I didn't like the killer.
Damn love the way you deliver your thoughts deserve more subs
Hey, thank you for saying that! I'm just trying to put out better videos every day and the sub count will hopefully follow. Thanks for watching!
1. The Social Network
2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
3. The Killer (may not work for everyone but I found it constantly gripping)
4. Zodiac
5. Fight Club
6. Se7en
7. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
8. Alien 3
9. Gone Girl
Haven’t seen Mank, Panic Room, or The Game.
Great list! What do you think it is about Benjamin Button that has you ranking it so high? Thanks for watching!
1. Seven A+
2. Fight Club A+
3. The Social Network A+
4. Zodiac A
5. Dragon Tattoo A
6. Gone Girl A
7. The Game B+
8. Benjamin Button B
9. Alien 3 B I dont give a damn 🤣, yes, it pales in comparison to the first two masterpieces, but ive always thought it was pretty good. The visuals are awesome, and the 3rd act is suspenseful.
10. Panic Room B
I still have to see Mank and The Killer.
Haha Alien 3 over Panic Room is definitely a hot take, even though they're pretty close to each other in my rankings. I think Alien 3 is the only "bad" movie he's ever made. Glad you vibe with it though!
@SullyStreams Yeah, I used to have Panic Room as my only bad David Fincher movie, but over the years, I've warmed up to it. I gotta watch The Killer again, but I didn't like it after my first viewing. Technically well made, but narratively below the standards of a master like Fincher. As of right now, I have it as his worst, honestly.
@@k-slay4407 Interesting. Definitely curtious to hear if your thoughts change at all after a second viewing!
Seven and Zodiac are head and shoulders above the rest (Mindhunter is an honourable mention)
The fact they we never got a season 3 of Mindhunter will always be a sore spot, such a fantastic show. Thanks for watching!
12) Alien 3 11) Panic Room 10) Mank 9) The Game 8) Dragon Tattoo 7) Zodiac 6) Benjamin Button 5) The Killer 4) Gone Girl 3) Social Network 2) Seven 1) Fight Club
Awesome list!
Fincher needs to continue Mindhunter.
I would absolutely lose my mind if they gave us a season 3, that show is incredible!
1. Fight Club
2. Gone Girl
3. Se7en
4. Zodiac
5. TGWTDT
6. Panic Room
7. The Social Network
8. Alien 3 (The Assembly Cut)
9. The Game
10. TCCOBB
Haven't seen Mank and plan on watching The Killer soon.
Fight Club and GG are so rewatchable to me they're both in my top 10 movies of all time. I do agree Zodiac is a masterpiece. I just feel Fincher perfected the concept even more with Mindhunter.
Great list! I guess I really need to check out the assembly cut of Alien 3. I have the entire collection on 4k, so I'm betting it's on there. And it still pains me that we'll never get a season 3 of Mindhunter. Maybe one of these days...Thanks for watching, dude!
Fight Club and Se7en have been completely ruined for me by their fans.
I cannot sit through Fight Club without cringing at all the men in real life who don’t understand how blatantly hypocritical and vapid the entire Tyler Durden thing is.
Social Network is possibly the most sleek, rewatchable and quotable movie ever made.
@@sbraypaynt Yeah I definitely understand that around Fight Club. I haven’t heard anything similar regarding Se7en though. Completely agree that The Social Network is beyond addicting. Thanks for watching!
Social Network 7th?? Have you even seen it?
I think this is the first time ever I see a ranking of 12 titles with which I agree on absolutely every single position.
Haha I love to see it dude, that legitimately never happens. He has such a diverse filmography so I feel like with Fincher specifically that's pretty hard to do. We'll have to see if we can go 2/2 with my next director ranking...Thanks for watching, man!
Great ranking and very engaging video. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard! What do you think your top 3 favorite Fincher films are? Thanks for checking out the video!
Props! Loved your reasoning for your rankings! Sub
Hey appreciate it dude! What do you think your three favorite Fincher films are? Thanks for watching!
Seven, zodiac, fight club. I actually love alien 3 too.
I am a massive fan of David Fincher, but i am embarrassed to confess, I've not yet watched every movie he has directed. Zodiac is on my list of movies I need to watch for the first time *I KNOW! SHOCK!* But I adore Seven, Fight Club and Gone Girl. Also really enjoyed his most recent, The Killer. But I have another confession... Im quite a big fan of his Alien 3 movie *gasp* I just love his use of the camera in the movie and how he brought the world to life. Adored the lighting and score. I felt he did a great job at capturing a gritty, dread filled atmosphere. I know I am in the minority here.
Great video man!
Haha hey I absolutely love seeing differing opinions about film, if everyone had the same rankings there’d be no use in my making this video in the first place. Thanks for watching, Ashley!
I've loved Zodiac since I first watched it. I agree...it is Fincher's masterpiece.
There’s just something about it. Everything is immaculate down to the camerawork, the performances, and the pacing. Glad to see you dig it as much as I do! Which movies round out your top 3 from him?
I really enjoyde The Killer and I found it being a fresh new movie. I haven't seen all of Finchers work but in my opinion Zodiac felt really slow but the cinematogrophy in it was on point. But even more impressive in that aspect was The Killer. Visually stunning and just a incredible experience both due to camera shots and lights, but also the sound design. I must say Se7en still have the crown for my favorite fincher movie
Where do you think The Killer ranks in your Fincher ranking after watching it? Thanks for checking out the video!
9:20 The movie definitely feels like it’s something we’re not supposed to be watching. I 1000% agree. But that’s what I think is so attractive about it. How many situations do we get into as adults where we’re watching something that we’re not old enough or mature enough to watch? Absolutely genius directing.
You hit the nail on the head here, Kenny. As we get older, I don't think there are that many instances where we're looking over our shoulder before we watch something. This movie is full of moments like that. Do you think it's your favorite Fincher film? Thanks for watching, dude!
@@SullyStreams It’s definitely my favorite Fincher movie. It’s the best of the 90s detective movie era that I sorely miss.
The release date for Zodiac is what killed its Oscar chances I think. It deserved every award and its a shame it was overlooked. Ruffalo deserved a nom as did every other aspect of the film. The run time limited its commercial appeal too cause its a slow methodical film and audiences are impatient. I also have seen it about ten times or more because its masterful and never fails to engage me. The Game also deserved a better reception. That film is amazing!
Couldn't agree more with everything you said! This one definitely deserved some Oscar love, it's too bad its not more celebrated in that regard. Definitely one of the very best films ever made from where I'm sitting. Thanks for watching, Robert!
Zodiac, Fight Club, and Seven would be my top three. I’ve never been a huge fan of Dragon Tattoo…..I honestly think the Swedish version is superior.
No complaints on my end, that's almost my top three too! I've actually never checked out the original version of Dragon Tattoo, I have to get around to it at some point. Thanks for watching!
Okay, so this is probably just me being a fantasy book fan and a Fincher fan, but I think he would be the perfect director for a Mistborn trilogy. He excels in grim atmospheres, detail oriented plots, plot twists, stoic characters, perfectionists, and witty dialogue. I think it would be great.
Ooh I don't know if I'm completely out of the loop or not, but I haven't even heard of the Mistborn trilogy. Should I be adding those to my reading list? Thanks for watching!
i’m glad that you came the killer some recognition
One of my favorite movies of last year, had to give it the respect it deserves! What's your favorite Fincher movie? Thanks for watching!
I’ve only seen Zodiac (decent) and Fight Club (I regret watching it). Though I might be interested in the Social Network and Seven, since it was one of Matt Reeves’ inspirations for the Batman.
You should definitely check out The Social Network and Seven, two of the best films Fincher has to offer!
Great review! I would agree with this list, except I think the killer would move down a spot just because I didn’t find it too entertaining.
Great ranking, Sully! I’ve only seen 8 of his movies, but so far, my ranking goes as follows:
1. Fight Club
2. Seven
3. Zodiac
4. The Social Network
5. Gone Girl
6. The Killer
7. The Game
8. Alien 3
Not gonna see me complaining about that rock solid top 4. Thanks for watching, dude!

Nice list! What do you think it is about The Game that has you rank it so highly? Thanks for watching!
@@SullyStreams It blew my mind when I saw it, it seemed like one of the best movies of that year (I didn't even know it was by the same director of Seven). Rarely have I felt more empathy for a protagonist, seeing him have such a hard time and not knowing what to think, being totally trapped by the story. The scene of the talking television and the clown's eye camera have remained in my memory forever. But there are others that are very shocking and see how everything falls apart; like the painted walls of the house at night that are very sinister. It is my favorite theme, the mystery that plays with you to the point of driving you crazy (total recall, matrix, open your eyes, Jacob's Ladder...), not knowing what is happening, that it is real. It is also the role that I like the most of Michael Douglas, and my top 3 perfect Fincher movies, of which I would give a 10!, until Gone Girl came along. I think Fincher is the only director alive who could tell this (somewhat tricky) story and come out successful. The other would be Hitchcock, but he is no longer with us.
Saw The Killer last Night and i love it! great Ranking man and yeah might need to see some of those films because the only david fincher films i have watched is the killers, never watched the others.
Oh dude, I am so jealous that you have Fincher’s entire filmography ahead of you. Let me know what your favorites are if you end up taking a deep dive. Thanks for watching, man!
@@SullyStreams Will do when i 'someday' get to watching everything.
1. Zodiac
2. Se7en
3. Gone Girl
4. The Social Network
5. The Killer
6. Fight Club
7. The Game
8. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
9. Panic Room
10. Alien 3 Assembly Cut
11. Mank
12. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
13. Alien 3 Theatrical Cut
Fight Club might seem low for how revered it is and i absolutely love it but shows how good the films above it are. The Killer has so many subtle meanings and hints in its script and i've picked up a bunch of things on my 2nd and 3rd watch. It was certainly not for everyone but it showed a true return to form for me after Mank which i kinda liked but found very boring at times, even though it was without a doubt my type of film. Fincher is certainly one of my favourite directors working today however, gotta be top 3 at least
Definitely agree with a lot of what you just said. Putting any of his tentpole films at #5 seems crazy, but it's just a testament to how impressive his filmography is. I like The Killer the more that I think about it, it's super clever how Fincher pretty much self-parodies himself in it. I can't wait to see it again. Thanks for checking out my video!
@@SullyStreams Its honestly worth rewatching, can see it becoming a cult classic in next 5-10 years. Subscribed too
@@MrTibster Hey thanks so much, looking forward to seeing you around the channel!
I don’t know why, but I always place girl with the Dragon tattoo pretty high on his list. Other than seven it’s probably the most re watched over the years. I’m a huge zodiac fan but it is a long watch and not quite as rewarding knowing the ending. Just introduced my 14-year-old daughter to seven last month and it blew her away. This is saying something as her generation is of the Saw gen. and the A24 genre is pretty much all that these kids watch nowadays. Fincher instantly became one of her favourite filmmakers.
By the way, I really enjoyed your video and vibe. Really cool great delivery. Pretty much agreed with every word you said.
1. The Social Network
2. Gone Girl

Great list, Justin! Cool to see The Killer so high up on your list, what do you think worked for you so much to put it up that high?
@@SullyStreams The comeback of Michael Fassbender he needed after The Counselor & Dark Phoenix
@@JustinWilliams367 Seriously though...Him and Fincher is an awesome combination!
Great list man curious case of Benjamin I agree it doesn’t need to be that long but entertaining movie, gone girl is a movie that blew my mind really great top and I def want to check out killer
Definitely want to hear your thoughts after you check out The Killer, I think you’ll dig it. Thanks for watching, dude!
I really hope one day we get an alien 3 rewrite where they let someone make it without killing off newt and Hicks.

But loved your ranking as well...
Great list! What do you think you didn't like about The Killer to rank it so low in your list? Thanks for watching!
@@SullyStreams There are quite a few reasons actually -
1. The weight of expectation which every Fincher film carries. (Fassbender/Fincher first time together, Fincher after 3 years, Andrew Kevin Walker and Fincher together again after 28 years).
2. Not being invested enough in any of the characters, which I easily do in Fincher movies.
3. It was one of the least enjoyable/memorable Fincher movies for me.
4. Still loved the craft but felt this one lacked soul (maybe intentional), but Fincher usually nails the balance.
5. All the others above this one in the list have worked at way more levels for me.
6. It's probably the only one apart from Mank which I don't feel like watching again. (But maybe I should).
Great ranking man! I haven't seen seven yet! I have the DVD and never watched it lmfao. I subscribed! I do reviews as well :)
Oh dude you have to watch Seven, one of his absolute best. And that's awesome, I'll have to check out your channel. Thanks for watching!

12. Mank
would be great to see you take a shot at ranking his tv series: house of cards, mindhunter, love death & robots, utopia...
Mindhunter would immediately be at the top for me. Probably followed by Love, Death + Robots (absolutely love the episode he directed). Then House of Cards, that one kinda lost me after a little while. I’ve never checked out Utopia, should I add it to the watchlist? Thanks for checking out the video!
Utopia is an actual masterpiece, although Fincher is barely involved so his style doesn't really come through
As a Filmmaker, David Fincher is my one of my heroes
My first film from him was Fight Club, and then I watched The Social Network and i tried real hard to not love it more then Fight Club but i couldn't do it
The Social Network is my Favorite Fincher Film of All Time
1) Fight Club 2) Se7ven 3) The Game 4) Zodiac 5) The Killer 6) Alien 3 7) Gone Girl 8) Benjamin Button 9) The Social Network 10) Panic Room 11) Mank (haven't seen Girl With the Dragon Tattoo)
Great list! What do you think appeals to you so much about The Game for you to rank it that highly? Thanks for watching!
@@SullyStreams I find the overall concept to be really interesting. I liked how it looked like it was headed for another "downer" ending, like Se7ven before it, and then it became a happy ending, quite unexpected... (I also liked how Michael Douglas was a rather unpleasant person, but you wound up rooting for him in spite of yourself.
The social Network 9th? After Alien 3? 😅
@@paulg6274 ...Alien 3, and Gone Girl, and Benjamin Button
My Top 3:
3. Curious Case of Benjamin Button
2. Zodiac
1. Seven
Very solid top 3 list, dude! What do you think works for you so much in Benjamin Button that has you ranking it that high? Thanks for watching!
S Tier - Zodiac, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Fight Club, Gone Girl, Seven
A Tier - Social Network, Mank, Benjamin Button
B Tier - The Killer, The Game, Panic Room
Haven't watched Alien 3
Haha I’ll save you the trouble: D tier - Alien 3. Obviously you should still watch it to form your own opinion, but it’s a mess from where I’m sitting. Also since you have Dragon Tattoo so high, I’m curious if you’ve seen the original too and how it compares? I still haven’t checked it out yet. Thanks for watching!
Number one is Fight Club. Anyone who can produce a Chuck Palahniuk book so faithfully, especially one as complex as Fight Club, is a genius. Nothing from the book was left out. The visualizations, dialogue, the neurotic pace. Brilliant! I think a movie really shows it's chops when you can watch it 20 times and still find something new. My two cents anyway.
I think I'm the only person on the planet that has Alien 3 as my #1 Fincher. It is so atmospheric and frightening to me (esp since I saw it in the theaters as an 11 yr old). I also love ALL the Alien films except Resurrection.
Haha I honestly think having Alien 3 anywhere else other than dead last is already a hot take, let alone having it as your number 1! I'm a huge fan of the Alien franchise too, but I'm really not a fan of it. Should I give the assembly cut of the movie a go? I've heard it's better and is more true to Fincher's original vision. Thanks for watching!
@SullyStreams the assembly is good for the first 15-30 minutes. The extra images of the prison planet are breathtaking. After that, switch back over to regular, since some of the story changes in the assembly cut (like where they trap the alien) I didn't agree w personally.
@@dfcintron I have the entire collection on 4k so I'll have to see if the assembly cut is on there. Might have to revisit this one soon...
You’re not alone; I’d rank it as one of his best too. The problem with Alien 3 as opposed to the first 2 films is that you have to watch it several times to get things out of it; the first two were blockbusters. Grim nihilism is what Fincher does best.
1. Seven

Great list! What do you think it is about Seven that pushes it to the top spot over his other heavy hitters? Thanks for watching!
@@SullyStreams I mean I think all of my top 4 are masterpieces so it really just comes to personal preference. I think it just does what it’s trying to accomplish perfectly and considering it’s a genre that’s so hard to do well it just gives me a whole new layer of appreciation for it. Plus it’s the exact kind of film I’d want to make which definitely helps
@@charliejefferyhood4456 yeah I completely agree. If anyone’s looking for a crime thriller and somehow hasn’t seen that one, it’s almost always the first movie I recommend!
Zodiac is my fav movie of all time
That's music to my ears! It's an absolute masterpiece from where I'm sitting, Fincher really put his heart and soul into that one. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Love Fincher!
Hey thanks for watching! What do you think your favorite Fincher movie is?
@@SullyStreams I’d have to go with Fight Club! I can’t wait to watch The Killer!
@@VondettViews Great choice. Let me know what you think of The Killer!
@@SullyStreams thank you. will do!
#1 fight club #2 house of cards #3 madonba Vogue
Haha surprisingly the first one of his music videos that have been mentioned so far!
Loved the killer. Is it fair to judge films straight away? Takes a while to process it. No country for old men became a top tier film on third viewing
I know exactly what you mean, and I think I’ve just accepted that movie rankings / preferences are fluid. Ask me to rank the Fincher films next week and maybe I give you a different answer. But at this point in time after all my rewatches, this is the ranking I’m sticking with. Which Fincher movie is your favorite? Thanks for watching!
Fightclub is cool and all - but The Game - is a true Masterpiece - it really takes you on a crazy ride, with Michael Douglass's character - and you are right there with him not knowing what the F*** is going on - you start to like him more and more as you see him get stripped back etc -..... and of course onto what i think is one of the most satisfying and awesome Endings in a film
I actually things about Alien 3 and I'd rather watch it than a couple of the movies on this list.
Interesting. Where does Alien 3 fall in your Fincher rankings? Thanks for watching!
01. Fi*** Cl** (1999)

Sorry, but to me place 8, 9 & 10 have been extremely dull and gave me zero excitement.
Seeing Social Network and Zodiac being described as dull hurts a small part of my soul, but obviously different movies work for different people! I'm curious to see where The Killer and Mank will fall after you check them out. Thanks for watching, Chris!

Hilarious mate, such a good one
Thanks for watching, James! What are your top 3 favorite David Fincher movies?
@SullyStreams Tough to pick. The Killer was way slower than I anticipated, but I believe that was Fincher's intention. I definitely find myself watching Gone Girl and The Social Network a lot. If I were to add to that list, I think Fight Club is a brilliant satire of masculinity, consumerism, and, ultimately, is David Fincher's most concise work. While Zodiac is great, I feel it becomes a little meandering due to the inconsistencies in the case and the film's inability to find a consistent footing.
Great list. I would put Seven higher but totally agree with Zodiac at the top. Where would you put Mindhunter and House of Cards if you had to include them?
That is a great question. Hmmm...Knee jerk reaction would be to put Mindhunter around 5 and House of Cards around 9. Where do you think they would place for you? Thanks for watching, Jason!
@@SullyStreams i think Mindhunter is near and dear to Fincher's favorite topic and period of history. It's a spiritual sibling to Zodiac and equally executed. Definitely in the top 5. House of cards first couple seasons were home runs... But they already haven't aged well. 9 sounds right. Cheers!
Ouch on Mank being 11. It’s a sight better than Button and Dragon Tattoo and as a passion to project it beats the pants off Panic Room.
Dragon has a barely-trying Daniel Craig, Panic Room could have cast Bugs Bunny in the Jared Leto role, and Button hasn’t aged well. Yeah, I went there.
Yeah it’s tough because if I was ranking Fincher’s movies by how well made they were, Mank would be toward the top of the list. Unfortunately the film just didn’t speak to me at all, but I can also recognize that I’m not really its intended audience. Where does it land in your rankings?
fincher the meticulous master
The guy is definitely fitting of that title! What’s your favorite of his movies?
Ranking the Ones I’ve Seen:
1. The Social Network
2. Zodiac
3. Seven
4. The Game
5. Fight Club
6. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
7. Alien 3
Can’t argue with that top 3! Why do you think you like The Game more than Fight Club? Kind of a hot take!
I like Alien 3
Haha no disrespect to anyone that enjoys the film, just not a fan of it myself!
@@SullyStreams no problem, I know it's a minority opinion!
Zodiac above Social Network? No way! Social Network easily #1
I’d give se7en or social network the top spot
There have definitely been times in my life where I've said that each of those films was my #1, so I can't argue with that!
1 . Zodiac
I can't argue with this list...
If you seriously rank The social network above Seven you’re observations really aren’t valid.
I seriously don’t care, Doyle
Social Network is easily better. And thats hardly a controversial opinion amongst critics
Social media sucked
Girl with the dragon tattoo is my #1. Zodiac is my least favorite after the killer
The Game
Seven
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Social Network
Fight Club
Alien3
Zodiac
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Panic Room
Gone Girl
Mank
*The Killer (TBD)
Great list! What do you think it is about The Game that makes it your favorite of his films? It’s definitely a wild ride. Thanks for watching!
I’ve watched it 3x and every time I find myself thoroughly absorbed, my mind doesn’t wander whatsoever, it’s so well-crafted, and that ending, oh man. It may be the perfect thriller. Watching The Killer tonight.
The Killer was excellent, Michael Fassbender killed it (lol) and Tilda Swinton is always incredible. Really atmospheric, unapologetic, tense, and so re-watchable. I put it at #5 on his list.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is overrated watch the original.The Killer is terrific and in 20 years time it will be in most people's top 5.My number 1 is Seven and Alien 3: Assembly cut is in my top 5
What do you think it is about Alien 3 that makes you rank it so highly? Thanks for watching!
Zodiac is number 1.
Mank was a disappointment to me, but I liked the Killer even less.
Now you have me curious: What do you think you disliked so much about The Killer? What didn't work for you?
Yes zodiac and social network are his masterpieces. I think Se7en > Fight Club. Mank is not his 2nd worst movie...c'mon. My hot take is Benjamin Button and Dragon Tattoo are his worst. Those films are unnecessary and a waste of his time and talent
Hey like I said, from a technical standpoint Mank is astonishing but I found it incredibly disjointed and uninteresting. To each their own!
Ya I understand. Mank is def not for everyone. It's Fincher's passion project. His dad literally wrote the screenplay. Can't get more personal that that lol
zodiac,fight club,gone girl,seven,girl with the dragon tatoo..........social network wayyyy over-rated
I can't think of one fincher movie that I liked...I think they all sucked..maybe the serial killer will be different.
Damn, I feel like that's a very hot take! Who are some of your favorite directors? Thanks for watching!
1.Dragon Tatoo
2.Social Network
3.Seven
4.The Game
5.Panic Room
6.Fight Club
7.Gone girl
8.The Killer
9.Zodiac
10.Benjamin Button
11.Alien 3
12.Mank
Solid list! I don't think I've seen anyone comment with Dragon Tattoo as their #1 pick yet. What do you think it is about that movie that makes you rank it so high? Thanks for watching, Robert!
