Haven't seen Panic Room yet.

quithex · 06-07-2002, 11:27 PM

Let's see, we all know and love Fight Club & Seven, but Alien 3 is horribly UNDERRATED, The Game was boring and Panic Room was god-awful. My $.02

a.bunker · 06-07-2002, 11:29 PM

Se7en without a doubt.

Volcane666 · 06-07-2002, 11:31 PM

I cannot vote myself either :

Se7en is an undisputed classic.

Fight Club a cult classic

Alien3 (as above) I think is VERY underated (never has such a film succeeded in portraying such a feeling of despair and desperation as much as this)

Unfortunately I ahve yet to see Panic Room, and have not seen The Game as I'm holding out on a (potential / rumoured) Criterion release!

GracefulGanesha · 06-07-2002, 11:32 PM

Even though I love Fight Club, I'm gonna have to go with The Game. Every time I watch this movie it gets better and better!

drudo-182 · 06-07-2002, 11:42 PM

1. Se7en
2. Fight Club
3. Panic Room
4. The Game
5. Alien 3

Riddick · 06-08-2002, 12:11 AM

SE7EN

Absolutly one of the finest motion pictures ever made.

SolidSnakeASS · 06-08-2002, 02:05 AM

Fight Club by a slim "Norton"-slide.

Marty McFly · 06-08-2002, 02:06 AM

I liked Fight Club and Se7en, but The Game was an excellent film. Michael Douglas did an excellent performance. I didn't like Alien 3 and still haven't seen Panic Room, so I can't comment on that.

George McFly · 06-08-2002, 03:27 AM

FIGHT CLUB by default since I haven't seen the other movies on the list,

**SilentBob** · 06-08-2002, 03:41 AM

Well i have seen all but The Game. But out of them all i decided to go (now that i look at it) the underdog Panic Room. I love the directing in it between the Bad Guys and Mrs. Foster well directed and kept it nice and tense. Editing was almost Flawless from scene to scene.

Fight Club was 2nd followed by Se7en.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Haven't seen Panic Room yet, so my chart would be:

1. Fight Club
2. Se7en
3. Alien 3
99. The Game

LeonardShelby · 06-08-2002, 03:17 PM

Se7en - 1st - no question about it.

Fight Club - 2nd

Alien 3 - 3rd

sub780lime · 06-08-2002, 04:11 PM

Alien 3 may be underrated but it isnt the best in the serious and if were really technically its title isnt even right, so i cant give it my vote, the game is a great movie, i have to vote for it, i think this movie is underrated, fight club and se7en are both great, have to give the casts of both of these movies credit for what they are, and last, i havent seen panic room

drudo-182 · 06-08-2002, 09:44 PM

I loved Panic Room and have it at 3 on my list. Good movie.

Jellodyne · 06-08-2002, 11:28 PM

1. Fight Club
2. Fight Club
3. Fight Club
4. Fight Club
5. Se7en

The Game was alright, Alien^3 was better than most people said, haven't seen Panic Room yet.

CruiseControl · 06-09-2002, 06:44 AM

His next film Mission Impossible III is my pick. I can't wait to see what he's going to do with that.

Donkey · 06-09-2002, 03:00 PM

"Fight Club" all the way. It's my favorite movie of all time. "Se7en" would come in second. "Panic Room" would come in thrid that is because I've not seen "The Game". "Alien 3" would most likey come in last if I had seen it, but I have not. I also would like to see what he is going to do with "Mission:Impposible 3" ("M:i-3").
That will be great. Fincher is just an amazing director!!!

Region2dude · 06-09-2002, 09:22 PM

Se7en all the way, baby!

eel · 06-09-2002, 09:56 PM

Se7en and Panic Room (all the rest are rubbish!)

The Limey · 06-10-2002, 02:12 PM

Se7en has occupied the #1 slot of my all time favorite film list for some 6 years now.Fight Club is also in my top 10 but for me it didn't quite have the same impact as Se7en.Both are truly great movies though.

Disco Stu · 06-10-2002, 11:20 PM

1. The Game: The best mindfuck movie ever, a terrific script and incredible production elements and a mindblowing ending that keeps going even as you think the script has teetered off into unoriginality. The last six minutes sell the whole thing.

SPOILER: It's a suicide intervention

2.Fight Club: Smart and extremely funny, it will probably date the most out all of Fincher's films considering the topic at hand. Terrific production design and script.

3.Se7en: A pretty standard script entirely elevated by one of the best production teams ever. The image and sound are astonishing, turning what could have a clichefest, into a movie with some very powerful moments. It played much better on a second viewing after I had begun to ignore the banality of the story and could concentrate on the other, overpowering elements.

4.Alien 3: Much better in the director's cut, it still has awful special effects because CGI was new at the time. Despite the additional 15 minutes or so, the second hour is still kind of weak, due mostly to Walter Hill's typically poor script additions. The first hour is masterful though.

3450. Panic Room: A thriller that packed no wallop, poorly written, extremely thin characters. It was as if screenwriter David Koepp bet himself that he couldn't write a movie that took place almost entirely in one house. He won, but we lost because he didn't develop the idea at all. Probably the sparest/no frills big budget movie ever made, and while that could be considered a compliment, in this case it is entirely to its detriment. Amazing credit sequence though.

What's wrong with the title.... Alien 3? It's about Aliens and it's the third movie... maybe my math is fuzzy.

LBPound23 · 06-11-2002, 04:46 AM

The Game
Se7en

-
-
Fight Club

Those are the three I've seen.

fischerj · 06-11-2002, 04:47 PM

I've never been very good at math: "Se7en" is number one!

funkebuddha · 06-11-2002, 05:47 PM

great question.....
i've always loved aliens 3. i think all films in the series are completely different takes on sci fi stories....finchers 3rd installment being the darkest. isn't the story somehow about the hiv virus? thats what i have been told.
fight club is without a doubt david finchers triumph. to get a movie with anti corporate subject matter made in the hollywood system is amazing to me.
although the game isn't as heady as fight club in its subject matter, its terribly fun and i'd have to say probly my 3rd favorite of his films.
i wasn't real impressed with seven. it seems much like many other thrillers of its day.
panic room is a terrible movie. i went to see it based on roger eberts review calling it "an intricate game
