Fight Club (1999)

The FIRST Rule About Fight Club is....
Do NOT TALK About Fight Club

Of course when this action satire directed by David Fincher (Seven, The Social Network) first opened twenty-five years ago to mixed reviews and mediocre box office, it still HEAVILY talked about by a certain segment of the population which just could not get enough of it.  It featured two iconic characters played by Brad Pitt and Edward Norton at the peak of the powers plus a surprising turn by Helena Bonham Carter....along with a game supporting cast including Jared Leto, Holt McCallany, and....Meat Loaf.  (Yup the singer, you read that right)  And the plot?  Well to describe it would be violating the first two rules but let's just say that it all kicks off with the wittily narrated tale of one mild-mannered insurance adjustor (Norton) who is simply having trouble getting to sleep at night....he then meets a mysterious figure named Tyler Durden (Pitt), they decide to begin fighting each other for fun.....and mayhem ensues!  And lots of soap of course.....
