So Fight Club has basically been my favorite movie ever since I saw it ~4 years ago. I've been looking for high quality movies that are similar ever since. I've started working on a fan site (which you can find here) that mostly focuses on similar movies and was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

I have about 10 or so more that I want to add, but I'm always looking for new ones since I can't get enough of Fight Club.

Hi, all. Got a question for you.

What was the point of scaring that poor Asian kid at the convenience store into going back to school by pointing a gun to his head? Yeah sure, death threat and adrenaline rush will scare him shitless, kick him in the balls, and give his life a purpose and a meaning. He was stagnant and now will feel alive. Great motivation, we all could use it, I get it, but what's the end game there? Wasn't he just gonna become another Jack? Young, educated, well to do consumer?

Your thoughts?

The Nihilistic Dream of Tyler Durden, established in 1996, makes more sense now,eliminate the financial institutions, starting from scratch.

what do you think?

I could be wrong, but it sorta seems that way the more and more I watch it. I doubt I'm the first one to notice this, but here are my thoughts anyway:

I will probably type a ridiculously long essay on this later, but for now, I'll just use these points from the top of my head to illustrate what I mean: read more »

at the end of the book the main character says there are angles taking care of him, the whole time i was reading the book for the first time many argued with me about what Tyler Durden stood for. as many people saw him as "the bad guy" of the book i on the other hand saw him as the second coming, as the great flood, the one thing that could save the world from destroying its self. although the book is fiction i often try to see the world as Tyler saw it. i often wonder what would Tyler do after the known society was brought down to just rubble. any thoughts?

You probably all remember this from the hotel room scene we're Tyler talks to Tyler.

Yeah, I've found this to be true.

"They talk to themselves, they imagine themselves...as they'd like to be. They don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

I've noticed that when I'm visualizing myself, I'm often talking to people and giving them advice...giving them perspective. I like to write and lay down all my ideas (usually as a fictional story) on a page or screen. I don't imagine myself writing, I imagine myself talking and storytelling. Stood facing a class, telling a story (not necessarily big or news-worthy, lol) to my friends and sometimes on more angry and stressful daysl; I imagine myself arguing or in a heated debate.

I don't imagine myself tearing down skyscrapers and having fights with other men, haha. I'm hoping no one else on here does. But what do you?

I remember seeing "Journey to the Center of the Earth" back when I was a kid, and later on "Tron" and "Fight Club." I recently read "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and saw it has a direct reference to "slide", as does the ice cave scene in "Fight Club." In the both books there're also references to pools of water at the bottom: In "Journey" its at the center of the Earth, In "Fight Club" its inside intestines, and in the movie "Tron" its in the power cave scene. Does anyone else think there was an intentional link between these books and movies, or was it just a similar reference because of common influences?

Every topic on here bores me to the extreme. So i post this question which has always tickled me abit. Was this whole movie screaming the modern evolution of modern mankind to you? It makes me wonder if he realized what he was writing. But in the ending the main character gives up his "fantasy" and turns himself in, realizing the sacrifice is to great. Was this a twist proclaiming the inescapable human virus, or was it simply a delve into the concept it (Selfless society, Utopia, Venus project) can be done if we are willing to sacrifice certain commodities but we can't be "the unfaithful". I would argue mankind is inherently evil and the end of the movie would lead to things of worse but what do you think? Do you think Chuck is a Marxist deep down in is internals, like maybe not his lungs or his kidneys but, possibly his heart or his brain?

Hey Guys, im a recent addition to the Cult community, but i am a staunch fanatic of Chuck's work.

Recently, for a discussion about Philosophy and Movies we were given a movie and a text to compare and relate, i chose:

Fight Club, of course and Empire (http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Michael-Hardt/dp/0674006712) a critic to a new World Order ruled by corporations under the fist of Capitalism.

Any Comments or recommendations are accepted, Thanks.

hey guys,
i am writting a term paper about fight club and this is how i found this website i actually cannot believe you havent discussed that subject already. for that matter i may be too new and/or dumb to find this topic.

well, people say the adaption is a proper one. i would rather agree that the movie is awesome for sure, although(?) there are a few changes:

first of all, of course, the formal one: the chronology. then, the end needs to be mentionned. also, i want to write something about the introduction of tyler (plane / beach).

what do you think? are there any other changes worth mentioning?

btw: feel free to help me with my term paper i am from germany (originally from russia, in fact) and i have to write in english. if you are interested in my work or just nice: i could really use a proofreader.

greetings,
crappy crap
