shareOh, I just somehow knew Fincher's going to be next. I'm a magician! (to quote Phil the Alien, a movie no one's seen. I think lol)
Alien 3 (1992) It's an Alien movie, sort off. Didn't care for it much.
Sesevenen (1995) I love it. Disturbing, in a good way. Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow get's [spoilered].
Fight Club (1999) I used to love it, the last time I watched it I was over it TBH. Still, a pretty cool movie, and surprisingly funny. Plus, Jaret Leto gets [spoilered].
Panic Room (2002) A decent thriller. I liked it.
Zodiac (2007) Eeeeh... It was alright. I bit disappointing maybe.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Not a fan.
The Social Network (2010) Have not seen.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) A faithful adaptation to the book, and a alright movie, not my favourite though.
Gone Girl (2014) I liked it a lot.

that's it.
Whhhat!?!?
So nothing from Blake Edward?
That was my surprise for you darn it!!
❤️️
I confess that I didn't really notice that Bonus Director. I guess I didn't bother because I was once again sort of disappointed that you don't seem to be familiar with any who directed films that I love.
Sorry. I am at least familiar with Blake Edward's work.
Let me start with two really good TV shows....
Mr. Lucky
Peter Gunn
Both characters are Cool Cats!
My fave films?
All of the Pink Panther films are fun.
Victor Victoria is the BEST!
10. Who can forget Dudley Moore in that? (probably all of the guys here. After all, Bo Derek was the 10 in that.
Yeah, I can understand your disappointment because When I read your answer “that’s it” I was like: “I failed to please her :(“
Haha, anyways, I think I found a middle ground for us.
As you can see, Fincher is loved by the general public though. You should watch more from him.
❤️️
Oh, I can learn from these weekly threads. I'm not opposed to trying new things. I have looked at some of the movie descriptions from the various lists of films. A few look sort of interesting. I put them on my never ending watch list. All I can say is that we had better have a long cold winter. I have much to learn!
I do wish you would give Hitchcock a try. Those two films you saw are pitiful examples of his long list of truly good films!
Try
Shadow of a Doubt
Strangers on a Train,
Rope
Notorious
Life Boat
North By Northwest
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Rear Window
The Birds
Rebecca
Psycho
If you can't try Hitchcock, try Kubrick. I just watched Lolita! James Mason was fantastic, as always!
