3. Fight Club


 Fight Club was the best psychological thriller of all time.  No one will ever be able to top this movie nor will it ever be remade.  If someone were to remake it, it wouldn’t even go to the movie theaters.  Everything about this movie was a mind-fuck.  People say other movies are crazy and they didn’t expect the ending but this one takes the cake.  Brad Pitt and Edward Norton were the perfect conflicting personalities for this movie.  Brad Pitt as Tyler in the movie is aggressive and incites problems.  He is a horrible influence but plays his role quite well.  Edward Norton as the narrator and basically the “normal guy” in the movie is passive at the beginning of the movie and does nothing with his life.  Goes to work goes home end of day, then do it all over again.  He is a plain Jane.  He meets a guy named Tyler who is basically a radical.  They start a fight club in the basement of a bar.  It soon spreads to pretty much everywhere in American because “Tyler” is recruiting people for it.  It is pretty much a full on gang now.  “Tyler” shows Edward Norton how to make explosives out of soap.  They start to make oodles of explosives and they start causing mayhem all over America.  At the end of the movie Edward Norton realizes that Tyler isn’t real and he had been doing all of this the whole time.  He had two personalities and didn’t remember all of the Mayhem he did while he was under the influence of his counter personality “Tyler”.  This movie does a great job of not letting you know that he in fact is insane.  You don’t realize until the last 15 minutes of the movie and personally I was like holy shit did that actually just happen.  Everything about this movie screams amazing.  Acting, directing, and the script was out of this world.
