13. Fight Club
When Fight Club was first released, it caused a bit of an outrage in the critic world with a lot of them taking the film at face value and labeled it as an overly savage and violent mockery of ‘middle America.’
Luckily the fans didn’t see it the same way and the movie, quite rightly, became an instant cult classic. With a brilliant look at the modern world, Fight Club asks the questions about identity in the modern world. Who are we? Are we our jobs? Are we the objects we own?
Edward Norton’s character is a great example of the ‘every man’ and how empty and unsatisfying life can be if you answer ‘yes’ to those questions.
