Fight Club - 10. (1999)
Even though fight club is a great movie and should be watched by everybody, i'd only put it at number 10. Even though it has a great plot and a weird messed up story line, i found it hard to put it any higher. The film was directed by David Finch but was originally a novel by Chuck Palahniuk in 1996. Fight Club failed to meet expectations of the studio at the box office but was cited as one of the most controversial films of 1999, later Fight Club found success in the DVD release and was stated as a cult film.
As Brad Pitt meets Edward Norton. They form 'Fight Club'. A club where guys intend on beating the living day lights out of each other while placing bets on who's going to win.
I'm sure everybody's familiar with the quote "The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club" and for that alone it goes in my top ten at number 10.
remember your role as a media student and try to add comments exploring their success as meida constructions - e.g. fight club was the rebirth of the male equivalent of a chick flick - Finch suggested it was time to reinvent masculine anti-heroes - maybe find some quotes
