One of the best films you've seen in months? -> One of the best movies you have seen in the last six months... what's the difference? Apart from a more specific time stamp.

6 months and Panic Room and The Hurt Locker are two of the best?
I need to get round to watching THL come to think of it.
Shall I watch it now or listen to music?
If I watch THL, in the last 14 hours or so I will have watched 4 movies.
Hm, decisions.
But yeah Panic Room was shoddy, the only Fincher film I'm yet to see is Alien 3. Panic Room is my least favourite film from him.

Fight Club > The Social Network > Seven > Zodiac > The Curious Case of Benjamin Button > The Game > Panic Room.

:cool:

The difference is that "best I've seen in months" implies it is *the* best over a period of time, while "one of the best" means among the best, but not specifically #1.

Go outside or something. :laughing:

I still need to see The Social Network and Se7en while I'm sober. I've seen Alien 3 and I don't remember it standing out particularly well compared to the first two installments of that franchise...

Even if you consider it a top 20 film over the last 6 months, I'd still question it. Poor film, definitely style over substance.

You haven't seen Se7en?!
I can forgive The Social Network, because it hasn't been out long but Se7en is a must!
I can't believe The Social Network is my second favourite film by Fincher.
I'm yet to see Aliens (James Cameron), I really need to watch the rest of the Alien franchise. The original is one of my favourites.

You still haven't helped me decide whether I can be bothered watching The Hurt Locker or not. Useless boy.

Watch it. It's intense.

I've seen Se7en but it got hazy as it went on haha.

I'm studying for an accounting quiz... :(

What?! No way. Zodiac and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button sucked. Alien 3 was better than either of those, and it used to be his worst movie.

I really liked Zodiac, but we've already been down that road... *shrugs*

Zodiac and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button did NOT suck.
I haven't seen Alien 3 yet, but they were great films.
Zodiac was a little CGI heavy, but it was a really great mystery thriller.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was just lovely. I don't get any hate for it whatsoever.

Lesse Fincher... Fight Club is sort of... it's a good movie, I think I just overdid it as a teenager, so it can be a little much for me now. Se7en is up there with The Usual Suspects and Silence of the Lambs as one of the best thrillers of the '90s. Alien 3 isn't a great movie, but it has its moments, especially if one looks at is as sort of a film noir experiment. Zodiac and Panic Room were both enjoyable but didn't strike me as anything particularly special. The Social Network was great--I really want to see it again to go into a better analysis of it. I haven't watched Benjamin Button yet. And I've always considered The Game underrated, but that might just be because I like seeing Michael Douglas get what for.

Speaking of which,

There's an interesting message about sexual responsibility buried in that somewhere (rabbits are a fertility symbol, for example) and Lyne does some interesting things with mis en scene (a lot of white), but man... it's SO DAMN '80s it kind of hurts. Like Glenn Close's hair... whew. She's typically great in this though--she exudes crazy without even saying anything. And I love Anne Archer here too.

Kind of slowly paced, but goddamn is it funny.

Funny, tragic, somehow familiar. Loved it.
