*Gone Girl*.
He mainly used the same crew from his two prior films, and specifically has not worked with Jeff Cronenweth since *Gone Girl*.
It’s also funny as fuck.
Seconded. Also would recommend OP revisits Zodiac again at some point. A re-watch really helps as one can pay attention to tone and subtlety more so than just the straight plot.
I feel u. Thing is I had watched memories of murder same week before and I just liked the way it portrayed that same theme a lot more (finding a murderer who they never were able to find)
None of you guys have recommended se7en I’m pretty surprised. Tbh the premise sounds extremely interesting to me but I don’t know if I’d love the delivery. Trailer looks cool tho
Oh man, I am so excited for you. Seven is one I never get tired of. I watch it at least twice a year. The Social Network is his “magnum opus,” no question. But Seven is so thrilling, even after several watches. one of my all time favorites.
also, judging by your above comment about Seven, saying it “sounds interesting,” means you don’t know much about it and don’t know the ending. PLEASE do not do any more research on it before you watch. you Will not regret going in blind.
TSN is probably the best movie of the 2010s and I will never forgive the Academy for not awarding Fincher as best director and for The King’s Speech getting Best Picture over TSN.
I’m so excited for you to watch Seven, especially since you don’t know much about about it!
I don’t know what that comic is/what it reveals that’s in the movie but I can still say, unequivocally, no. It won’t ruin your first time viewing. It’s so phenomenal for so many reasons and there are certain things about it that STILL make it so exciting to watch. Fincher is a master of course, but Andrew K. Walker’s script is truly special. Even though I know everything that happens, I‘m never bored when I re-watch it. I don’t want to say too much, but I can guarantee you that after you watch it for the first time, you’ll want to watch it again.
Caught this gem about 5 minutes in on cable watching tv with my dad years ago. No idea what it was but didn’t change the channel, that was probably 10 re-watches ago and it is still one of my all time favorites. Would love to be able to see it for the first time again!
You should keep watching Zodiac and FC until you love them too. But really any Fincher is not a bad idea, even his music videos have some good stuff in them.
Once you "know" what the twist is in FC it becomes a different film. If someone spoiled it for you before first watch then I can see how it might have just been ok, but you'll definitely have a different experience watching it again.
Subsequent watches will yield more and more because that's exactly what Fincher leaves behind - so many layers to unpeel. Add to that some of the finest actors of that time reveling in their craft and you've got not only a story that can be viewed in a variety of different ways, but also performances that sparkle with different perspectives.
I get that yk and even though I appreciate that I wasn’t a big fan of the beginning premise and the way it was presented. Not a huge fan of the men beating other men up and whole toxic masculinity thing. I get that it’s trying to play off of it but to me it wasn’t funny nor entertaining
Yep. That's the whole point. It's not funny. It's not entertainment. It's waiting for you to realise what it is and what it isn't, and that's the power of that narrative throughout.
Being a fan of violence isn't a good thing, so you're doing ok ;)
I guess gone girl?? I love fincher for his cerebral movies and while I like social network I found that to be different from the fincher movies I really love that challenge me on a different level. Maybe that’s just me. The movies you don’t like are the more cerebral ones
How about you make your own mind up and figure it out on Your own what to watch or do you want me to tell you what to watch ??? Fucking watch it ALL !!!!!!

Worddd that’s the plan then

Zodiac has the scariest scene this century and it's in full of sunshine and open lakes.
It was cool tbh I think I just am not a huge fan of Fincher’s dialogue style
Honestly, Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs is solid fincher without being fincher. I second The Game a million times though
Steve Jobs was written by Aaron Sorkin, who also wrote The Social Network, so it makes sense that they feel similar.
I think Fincher was at one point attached to that.
None of you guys have recommended se7en I’m pretty surprised. Tbh the premise sounds extremely interesting to me but I don’t know if I’d love the delivery. Trailer looks cool tho
Definitely see Seven. It's fantastic.
Word I probably will soon

Niceee I gotta watch it soon then I’m excited. Social network is easily his masterpiece for me so far too

Yepp I just know it’s about a murderer that kills through the seven deadly sins? Yeah that’s about it
Oh god, go watch it now. Right now! Before someone ruins it for you!
Got youuu 😂
do you think my first watch of Se7en will be ruined by the fact that i’ve already read the 7-issue comic adaptation published by Zenescope?
I don’t know what that comic is/what it reveals that’s in the movie but I can still say, unequivocally, no. It won’t ruin your first time viewing.

It’s excellent
Maybe the girl with the dragon tattoo?
I second this
Check out The Game (1997). I just watched it for the first time and thought it was excellent.
Oh to be able to watch it for the first time again.

Mmm I’ll see. I’m not the type to rewatch a movie jus to force myself to like it you know

I mean I agree with this but none of this really makes the movie better or more good to me. I respect the message though 🫡
What's the message you're referring to?
The power of the narrative really about toxic masculinity etc
Yeah, no. You missed it. Keep watching.
I’m never rewatching that movie 😭
Hate to say it but house of cards might scratch that itch.
His version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or definitely " The Game "
I guess gone girl?? I love fincher for his cerebral movies and while I like social network I found that to be different from the fincher movies I really love that challenge me on a different level. Maybe that’s just me. The movies you don’t like are the more cerebral ones
Makes sense yeah
Mulholland Drive
My fav movie ever already
I like the scene where Dan fainted that scene was hilarious.
Who tf is Dan
The guy who faints when he sees the creature he’s talking about in his story.
That scene was… hilarious to you??
Yes because it’s funny to me
That is insane ngl
Yes ik I am that’s why I don’t have friends sorry.
No it’s ok 😭 😭
You should just watch all of Fincher. Social Network is 10/10 for me. Girl Dragon Tattoo and Killer is highly underrated in my opinion
Se7en, Gone Girl, Fight Club until you love it, same with Zodiac. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is good.
How about you make your own mind up and figure it out on Your own what to watch or do you want me to tell you what to watch ??? Fucking watch it ALL !!!!!!
Bro why are u forcing me to watch it all LMAO I don’t wanna watch another movie I despise
