The date was November 2nd, 2015. I walked in my school’s screening room at approximately 5:15. At 5:22 the FBI warning came across the tiny LED screen.
I never thought Brad Pitt was attractive before.
I watched half of Fight Club that day. I had a class at 6:30. I was decently confused as to where this film was going. I probably wouldn’t have continued if it wasn’t in the top 10 on IMDb’s famous Top 250 and (more importantly) if my boyfriend (at the time) didn’t offer to finish it off with me later that week.
That November I watched Fight Club 36 times. Whenever I needed background noise to study to or an icebreaker for a blossoming friendship, Fight Club was there for me.
If you haven’t seen this classic cult film here’s why:
1. Academy Award Winner Brad Pitt in his prime.
2. Acclaimed actor Edward Norton takes us away.
3. It's a pretty faithful adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's (first ever published) book of the same name.
Upon watching it he actually said “Fun fact: his first completed work Invisible Monsters has been a great influence on Panic! at the Disco’s first album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out
4. Because it's more tan just a "Fight Club"
5. It's so quotable.
6. You'll laugh! (Stop hitting yourself)
7. Jared Leto circa 30 Seconds to Mars.
8. Helena Bingham Carter being a QUEEN.
9. Directed by David Fincher, who brought Gone Girl and The Social Network to life.
10. There's a plot twist that M. Night Shyamalan can't ever beat.
11. The plot twist makes it even better to watch the second time around.
12. The cinematography is so enticing.
13. It teaches us you can change your life.
14. It's just a rad film.
15. You'll probably be my best friend after watching this and I could use more friends
