Se7en, Zodiac and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are my choices. I think 'Fight Club' has aged a little poorly. Am I the only one?
it's status as a "dude bro" movie has hurt it among serious film critics over the years. also, the last 3rd of the movie is generally seen as being not nearly as good as the rest.

Ran back all the Fincher's except Benjamin Button in the last few months before The Killer

The Social Network
The pacing, the writing, the intensity of the movie, this was a remarkable movie

The Game also, pure style with a lot of heart, almost like a twisted fairy tale

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo didn't appreciate much in theaters, but loved it on rewatch, pure exercise in style and technique, for a 150 minute movie it's so smooth and quick.

Saw Fight Club sometime in 1999, or early 2000 on video.

Didn't appreciate it as much then, but also was moved more by the plot and twists, the shock value, I was 14,

the first 1/3 of the movie, the social commentary, very much ahead of it's time. The consumerism, the ikea, the bland corporate existence, the ennuni of daily life as a worker, making more money just to order from mass marketed yuppie catalogs, (AMAZON!) the corporate travel, (Up In the Air) the lack of masculine identity, that is so common now (Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson) men seeking identity through violence.

it's a very very prescient movie. it must have seemed a little extreme in 1999, but 20 years plus later, it's accurate.

Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac...The Game and Gone Girl right after

Hoping The Killer ends up ranking high in his films

Zodiac, Fight Club and Seven. Great career, but Zodiac is his peak imo, great film that I think is still underrated.
