He managed to surprise the crap out of us all at the ending of Seven (great movie)... then he started to try to repeat the "confuse-the-viewer" factor with over-worshipped The Fight Clu...SPOILER EDITED OUT... It was a good movie but not fantastic or anything... he started to lose his grip, he sacrificed character-building and theme-developing for thrills and mostly for his trademark "baffle the viewer" style. Not unlike Shyamalan, who started decently with Sixth Sense, made a good suspense-movie but thematically stupid like Signs (I hate movies that depict extraterrestrials as cockroach-like mosters that can be defeated... with water!!!!) and lost inspiration with the Village. So, I dislike directors that try to repeat the same "audience-effect" formula all the time... many of the best movies ever didn't try to make you think all over again at the end.... they made you think in what you saw, in the theme, in the treatment, in the quality of the movie itslef, not only in "how could I've learned before than A was B and not A"

I really like most of Fincher's movies,they have a dark,film noir-ish look and feel that really appeal to me.
My favorite is Seven,but Fight Club is a great movie too,imo.
He has directed a movie called Zodiac,about the Zodiac killings,that should be released pretty soon.

I would say that is "pretty soon".
I just read that the name of the movie might be changed and called The Chronicles.
I was looking at a list of videos he has directed and really did not know he had directed so many.I was pretty surprised to see he had directed the video for the song Judith by A Perfect Circle.

I've seen The Game, Seven and Fight Club. Those 3 are great, I think I'll go with the popular vote as well with Fight Club.

Se7en, The Game and Fight Club are top nuts movies!!!
i'll go with Fight Club...
there was a Greek critic that said he didn't like Fight Club cause its messages were left unfinished.. wat a load of c**p!!!! i mean, first of all, it's not a Greek tragedy, not all films need catharsis and second of all it's a book go tell that to the author, not the director that made the movie...

i respectfuly disagree my friend... i mean, Fight Club was not a "confuse-the-viewer" film, for you couldn't tell it had a reversal until you found out.. you couldn't even imagine that it would happen such a thing and that was the beauty of it... and i think he did well with Edward Norton's character-building but that's just my opinion... maybe all that you said apply for "Panic Room"
however, i would have to agree with you... Shyamalan let me down with each and every movie he made after "Sixth Sense"...

First: This poll is about favourite Fincher movie not about the screenwrite...  Second: Shyamalan has loose his touch, definetively... But I prefer Unbreakable before Sixth Sense... maybe it's a matter of taste or maybe it's because I'm a comic boooks fan but I think that Unbreakable is better than SS from the firts to last sequence...
