Directors Best - David Fincher

[Matteo]

I will side with Se7en. It's a remarkably atmospheric, beautifully photographed and impeccably well-crafted film on the whole. It looks like something an accomplished and experienced director would create. A great neo-noir, capturing the dark, almost Fritz Langesque sensibilities of German Expressionism, but still having that gritty and rough 70s American feel to it.

[Everlong]

Yeah I'm going with Se7en as well. Really great movie with a supremely dark, creepy atmosphere. It's the kind of movie that keeps you up at night after watching it, and the performances by Morgan Freeman and Brad PItt are great, not to mention Kevin Spacey.

Out of ones I've seen, I'd rank them thusly:

1. Se7en
2. The Social Network
3. Fight Club
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
5. Zodiac
6. Panic Room

Have not seen Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or Alien 3.

Also, Se7en.

My preferences are exactly the same as Tim's, only I haven't seen Benjamin Button either. It's pretty tight between Se7en and Social Network for me, purely based on my level of enjoyment of the performances.

Gotta go with Fight Club. Love that movie. Can watch it over and over. I have still yet to actually see Se7en. It's on my list though. The only other ones I have see are Alien 3, Social Network, Benjamin Button and Zodiac.

Fight Club, though Zodiac is by far Fincher's most mature work.

[Hanley!]

Se7en is my pick also, even though I kinda hated that it's not just called 'Seven'.

Great performance from Spacey and it's an interesting concept for a film and for a killer. I thought some of the other characters were a little flat, which prevents me from thinking of it as an outright classic, but it was highly entertaining and stands the test of time.

I honestly never really responded that strongly to Fight Club. All of the hype I had heard before seeing the movie might have turned me off it somehow. I still think it's pretty good, but don't think it was necessarily worthy of the huge amount of praise that was heaped upon it.

The Social Network was a decent enough film, with a cool soundtrack and some impressive performances (particularly from the underrated Andrew Garfield), but the story didn't go anywhere at all and the ending was contrived, patronising and stupid.

Haven't seen any of the others, except for Alien 3 as a kid. Doubt that would be ranking #1 if I watched it again.
