I won't go off on a big long thing or anything and I know I'm way late to the party but that was a damn good movie. I know it's about the least important thing, but the fight scenes were good. The best part was the acting and the dialogue, obviously. Everyone quotes this movie so I don't need to talk about the philosophical aspect of it because I'm sure most people know about it. It was a complete mindfuck and I'm still thinking about it but everything about it was just spot on. 10/10. 
 
On a lesser note, I saw Resident Evil: Afterlife and I think Screened was way too harsh on it. For me it was just a lot of preposterous dumb fun.

It's one of those movies that I can watch over and over again and take something new from it every time. One of the greatest things to come from the '90's, that's for sure.

You get props for putting Hot Fuzz up that high, but Shaun of the Dead was better IMO    =)

It's one of the few movies with a "twist ending" that holds up to repeated viewings, in my opinion.
Great movie!

I only enjoyed RE: Afterlefe because me and my friends had a great time riffing on it(I can literally name every movie every slo-mo scene is stolen from).

Fight Club is great but it's really not the best film ever or anything like that.

One of my favorite movies. I think one thing that made me really like it is that I had heard almost nothing about it at the time, and I thought I was going to see a movie that was just about guys fighting. Unfortunately, I don't get that kind of experience often since movie trailers are everywhere.

I thought Fight Club was a pile of crap, but whatever.  Thematically it is nonsensical and I think most people are tricked by the gimmicky ending into thinking it is good.

Yeah it was a cool movie when it was fresh. It's a little cliche now though. But for those who have been lucky enough to not have it ruined for them, it's an enjoyable flick.
 
edit: ALSO I used to work at an office supply store and one of the sticky address label packages (Avery brand, forgot the size and type) totally had a fight club reference in the example used on the cover. It read:
 
Tyler Durden
420 Paper Street
(forgot the city and state -- Wisconsin was it? Or perhaps Illinois)
 
I should have taken a picture. I told my boss and she was like "whut's Fight Club".
 
edit2: Damn I just browsed through all the address label "package art"  on the Avery website. It makes sense for them to notice and change it by this time. I saw the original packaging in like 2005 or so. But there were totally stoners manning the label packaging at Avery for a while.
 
edit3: ah thanks, Internet:




The new label says Rose Fern. Not as cool, but still not without humor.

I've never seen it and I had the ending ruined for me. 
 
Maybe I need to see it to get the full effect, but that's not much of a twist. 
 
Maybe in 1999.
