B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of David Fincher into the ol’ VCR. 

Friends, it’s time for another director spotlight. And this time, we’re talking about another one of my all-time faves, David Fincher. 

Not only is David Fincher one of my favorite directors, but he actually directed one of my favorite movies of all time, Zodiac. 

Like Robert Rodriguez and Christopher Guest, David Fincher movies have a very obvious style and tone. From using CGI blood in some scenes to exposing the dark side of human nature, it’s very obvious that you’re watching a David Fincher flick.

I watched Fight Club when I was a teenager (as is customary for all movie nerds), but I didn’t become obsessed with David Fincher until college. Once The Social Network came out, I was hooked. 

I am Jack’s cliche college posters, which include Trainspotting, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Fight Club. 

I went back and watched Se7en and Zodiac, and it’s then I knew I had a type. 

When House of Cards (friendly reminder that Kevin Spacey is a POS) and Mindhunter were released, I binged them. 

I was there to see Gone Girl opening weekend. 

There are only so many ways I can say I love David Fincher’s work, so I’m going to go ahead and get to the list. 

I am not Paul Avery. No, seriously. 

My favorite David Fincher movies, in no particular order, are: 

• Se7en 
• Fight Club 
• Zodiac 
• Gone Girl 
• The Social Network 

As I mentioned a moment ago, there isn’t much more I can say to show how much I enjoy David Fincher movies. Outside of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (I know, I know), I’ve seen each of his movies a million times. 

I know I’m only a mere pop culture writer, but keep it up, Dave.
