Fight Club

Continuing my reexploration of director David Fincher's films, recently I rewatched his film Fight Club.  It isn't his best film, I don't think, and depending on when you catch me I wouldn't always even call it a *good* film, but as of right now, I think it's a very good film indeed.  It came out in 1999, a true watershed year for film, and though Magnolia is my personal favorite film for that year, it was also a truly memorable contribution for 1999.  It has a lot of the flair and raw energy of such films as GoodFellas and Wild at Heart, just a pure adrenaline rush with a crazy camera.  I love the twist ending, and the acting, and as always with Fincher, the pure LOOK of the film.  It's a true classic of the 1990s, and like Raging Bull, I find myself rewatching it every so often.  Recommended!
