When Marla and Jack are dividing up the support groups and they walk into the thrift store and keep talking.

The look on the woman's face behind the counter when Jack says "No. I want bowel cancer." makes me laugh every time.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned it, or maybe they did and I missed it. My favorite part is the chemical burn when they are making soap. Everytime I have a shitty day I throw in the movie and watch that part.

"Come on don't deal with it the way all those dead people do!"
"This is the greatest moment of your life and you're off somewhere missing it"

I also get a little shiver with the talk about our fathers being our role model for god. My parents are very religous and for a long time I was an agnostic, now I'm leaning more towards Atheist and that part of the movie always gets me thinking.

i LOVE the part when tyler is burning jacks hand and the speecjh he says (we r gods unwanted children!) and i also like the fact that the book told us that lye needs water to burn,so in the movie tyler licks his lips then kisses his hand.(love it). when jacks yelling at tyler telling him you dont know how this feels and it turns out hes got one too (duh)....that has to be that best part of the movie for me!

That moment in the film was great.

Sort of meant that we all have some kind of scar, and we all know what pain feels like

[B]I wanna say my favorite part is the last scene, when Jack takes Marla's hand and tells her "You met me in a very strange time in my life."

The explosions, the music cue, the camera angle. It's just sheer perfection. [/B][/QUOTE]

When I first rented the movie, I watched that scene a million times...

Everyone says,"My favorite part is when the stealing fat" or "the convenience store part" or "I want you to hit me as hard as you can". They are great and possibly greater but they aren't the greaterest. The greaterest part is the doctor sees Jack's hand shaking and refuses to give him drugs, obviosly thinking he's a junkie looking for a fix. Don't remember that scene? Well fuck you. I apologize for my rudeness.

The whole movie is great, but my favourite parts are:

when Jack fights with marla over the support groups, and they are like "I WANT brain cancer";

the scenes on the plane;

when tyler is working at the cinema and the restaurant;

the first time jack goes to Tyler's house;

the call jack recieves from the detective (he says something like "the condo was my life" and then "id like to thank the academy");

when jack gets the scar with the acid;

the scene whith this dialog:
BOSS "The first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club."
Is this yours? You don't get paid to abuse the copy machine.
JACK "Abuse" the copy machine. There's animage.
BOSS Pretend you're me. You find this. What would you do?
JACKMe? I'd be very careful who I talked to about this. It sounds like someone dangerous wrote it... someone who might snap at any moment, stalking from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 Carbine-gas semiautomatic, bitterly pumping round after round into colleagues and co- workers. Might be someone you've known for years... somebody very close to you. Or, maybe you shouldn't be bringing me every little piece of trash you pick up.;

when jack blackmails his boss;

the homework they get @ fight club;

when jack tries to escape from Tyler and the cops

oh man i dont know, to be honest all scenes with tyler in them are amazing, but the one i can recall that made me laugh alot and tyler just looked cool doing was... when he comes out to the front porch with his bath robe and glasses on and hes smoking a cigarette, with bob and that young guy on the porch waiting to come inside the house to start their training.... he tells the young guy, you have black pair of boots..., black shirt, etc etc.... and then he tells him to go in and then he walks past bob a little turns to him and stares for about 5 secs and then just laughs and smirks and says, "Your to old fat man... and your tits are to big... get the F*** off my porch, LMFAO OMG i just couldn't stop laughing.

mine is directly after the "I'm fuckin Lou"
when Tyler is screaming "YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN LOU" and starts coughing up blood all over him. I laugh every time i watch this. Especially when Lou starts freaking out.

Reading this makes me want to watch the movie.
I have the day off today so I might do put it on right now.
Then I will write my favourite bit on here, but I think it might be the penguin saying
"Slide" I always liked that bit.

Oh dear after just watching it i just can't decide.
I like when Marla says "Your going to have to keep me up all night."
And when "jack" gets all jealous and rejected and beats up the blonde, and says he wanted to destroy something beautiful.
So many parts are great.
I do still like the penguin, and Marla in the cave. "Slide."

The imagined plane crash, the car crash, and the speech right after it are my favorite parts of the movie. But the whole thing is great. It could ALL be my favorite part.

The 'I want you to hit me as hard as you can' scene.

I've pulled that on many people who haven't seen the movie, it's hilarious.

Although, one or two of them really could hit.

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Ford Motor Company just did the math and X was greater than the cost of a recall.

Ford recalls 3.6 million vehicles
There is concern about a flaw involving a cruise control switch that could lead to fires.
August 3 2007: 5:45 PM EDT

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Ford Motor Co. will recall 3.6 million vehicles to remove a cruise control switch that has been associated with fires in other vehicles.

Vehicles being recalled range from the 1992 to 2004 model years and include the Ford Bronco, Lincoln Town Car, Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger and Mercury Grand Marquis among others.

The company is doing this in order to respond to customer concerns about the safety of the switch, which has been the subject of previous recalls.

The reason for this recall is different from any other recall we've done in the past related to cruise control deactivation switches," said Ford spokesman Dan Jarvis.

None of the vehicles involved in this recall have experienced an abnormal number of fires, Jarvis said. The company is recalling the vehicles so that customers will not be concerned about the switch, he said.

In 2005 and 2006, the company recalled nearly 6 million vehicles because of problems with the cruise control cut-off switch.

The switch shuts off the cruise control when the driver firmly steps on the brakes. The switch is located under the hood of the vehicle and is attached to the brake master cylinder on one end and wired to the cruise control on the other.

The switch is powered at all times, even when the vehicle is turned off. In some cases fluid leaking the switch could cause it to short circuit resulting in a fire, which led to the earlier recalls.

The recall will begin on August 13. Vehicle owners will have the cruise control switch, also called the speed control switch, deactivated as an interim repair. When new parts are available, which is expected to be October, Ford (Charts, Fortune 500) dealers will begin installing new parts

The lines, "We have just cabin pressure." and "Its called a changeover. The movie goes on, and nobody in the audience is the wiser." Something along those lines.

The ending. I love it when Jack and Marla just watch the buildings blow up. it gives me this euphoric feeling. and the Pixies music complements it perfectly. David Fincher is truely a genius director. and Chuck is a genius writer.
