Wait - I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about this... ?
A truly great movie. Didn’t hurt that Helena Bonham Carter was in it!
I liked it from the start and remember explaning it to people. Michael Medved really missed the ball with this film.
The Big Lewbowski begs to differ, dude.
Fun movie. The book is actually a comedy.
So is the film.
Oh, he has a name all right.
You have more patience than I do. I gave up explaining it to people who said “It’s just a movie about fighting” a loooong time ago.
Really brilliant book though.
I loved the book, and I loved the movie. I just watched it again over the summer. It holds up well ... too well, if you catch my drift.
One of my favorite movies of that decade. Fight Club and Office Space are kind of the visible bibles of the cubicle work-farm generation.
I liked the movie. The climactic punch line stopped being funny after 911 (a little too real) but it was a good movie.
And I agree with the others about Helena. Very good in her role.
Several years ago Fincher made a film called ‘Zodiac’ which I think is one of the best American features of this decade. Very few people have seen it.
Thanks for the movie title - I’m going to check that out - sounds interesting.
“Pitt voluntarily visited a dentist to have pieces of his front teeth chipped off so his character would not have perfect teeth. The pieces were restored after filming concluded.”

The third act, well it didn’t really ruin the movie, but it did stretch the premise a bit too far.
You mean the idea of the ‘Double’?
No, I mean the whole terrorism bit.
