Fight Club

I finally saw Fight Club a week or so ago. As often is the case, Fight Club isn't only about "fighting". I really appreciate so much about this film. While avoiding spoilers for those who haven't seen it, I see this film as a worthy member of the following list:

Memento
Pulp Fiction
The Usual Suspects
The Sixth Sense
Mulholland Drive
Being John Malkovich

Movies in this category (1) require a second viewing, and (2) are almost as much fun to read ABOUT on the internet as they are to watch.

Roger Ebert is quoted as saying, "Movies aren't about what they're about, they're about how they're about it." This movie definitely proves the point.

I agree John!

Excellent film that isn't entirely about a "fight club."

While I did see it several years ago; it still seems like a pretty fresh movie.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the other films you mentioned.

I am Kaiser Soze...and have a great week.
