David Fincher struck a raw nerve with the 1999 adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s landmark novel, FIGHT CLUB.

Told from the perspective of an insomniac stuck in the rut of a cubicle and middle age, the story follows our unreliable narrator (Edward Norton) as he seeks an outlet for his frustrations...coming across those in his path including a cancerous misanthrope (Helena Bonham Carter) and a sharp dressed, silver tongued soap maker (Brad Pitt) who leads him on a path of reincarnation by way of self destruction.

The film is a bonafide classic, cemented in pop culture through Fincher’s dynamic direction, a razor sharp adapted screenplay by Jim Uhls and unforgettable performances provided by Pitt, Norton, Carter and a cast of captivating supports (Meatloaf, Jared Leto, Zach Grenier, Michael Shamus Wiles).
