David Fincher's Fight Club debuted in 1999 and blew plenty of minds with a particularly shocking twist. Based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, the film is not only a slinky, effortlessly cool examination of a man who appears to be down on his luck, but a study of the many intricacies of identity. It also starred Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, so it was a natural must-see for many.
Fight Club introduces us to an unnamed narrator (Norton), a disillusioned corporate drone, who, along with the enigmatic Tyler Durden (Pitt), creates an underground fighting ring. It starts out as a way to escape the monotony of everyday life. But the club soon spirals into Project Mayhem, a much more nefarious venture that pushes both moral and legal boundaries. Soon, audiences are forced to confront some serious questions: who is Tyler Durden, and more importantly, is he everything he claims to be?
