You could say they are both about the established society versus anarchy, but they both had different points, different messages. I agree that they were not the same movie. But I think that Fight Club's most important themes had to do with "conformity" and the inspiration of one man to overcome what society expects from an average citizen. I think this was better handled by Clockwork Orange. Clockwork Orange raised conformity to the level of outright mind control of one man by the government. Fight Club involved one man trying to find his place in society and he ended up going crazy. Its Project Mayhem was fun but inadequate because it ultimately set up an oppostion between one citizen and society, without realizing the factor of government. Clockwork Orange sees the interaction between society and the government that tries to influence it. CO sees more deeply into the question of who is really controlling the average citizen: society, government, both? But that's just how it seemed to me. You might disagree. | ||

Bad ones: Memento and Fight Club Memento was painfully bad to watch and got worse over time aslo vanilla sky sucks. Oh and I'm really tired. Edit:If "lock stock and two smoking barels" counts I'll toss that one in the good section too... | ||

Other films that I want to check out in the near future are the works of Fellini (Italian director) and those of Ingmar Bergman (Swedish) and some other foreign (as in non-english speaking) directors. So please do list good movies from your country, wherever your from so that maybe I might check them out  as long as there's a downloadable version with english subtitles out there : OI'm a huge van of Lynch, Kubrick and Tarantino btw~ Spy, check out: French: The Rules of the Game, The Grand Illusion, Breathless (aka a bout de souffle), Band of Outsiders, The 400 Blows, Jules and Jim. Bergman: The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Scenes from a Marriage, Fanny and Alexander Fellini: 8 1/2, La Strada, Amarcord, Satyricon, La Dolce Vida, I, Vitelloni You need some Kurosawa too ^_^: The Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Throne of Blood, The Hidden Fortress, Ran, Kagemusha, Red Beard, Ikiru, Rashomon. And some Hitchcock: The 39 Steps, Rebecca, Notorious, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho Most of these are available from The Criterion Collection (A company that releases DVDs in North America) so you shouldnt have any trouble finding them. EDIT: My contribution: Last Life in the Universe EDIT2: For Hitchcock | ||

Criterion is definately great, and I own a bunch, but they are region 1 only and I dont know if Spy resides in North America or not. The Criterion Collection website. Sadly, it seems you need to hack your DVD player in order to play most of their films outside North America (see the FAQ). Still, as long as Spy can see the movie titles maybe he can get them elsewhere. | ||
