1. Fight Club - 10/10 - The closest thing to a perfect movie, in my opinion. This is the movie that showed me what movies could do and could be.
2. Se7en - 9.5/10 - All though not technically a horror, this is one of the scariest movies of all time and the ending never loses its power, even after repeat viewings.
3. Gone Girl - 9.5/10 - Most fans seem divided on this one, but I think it's a near masterpiece. Probably his darkest movie; surprising, since we're talking about a man who's made several movies involving serial killers.
4. The Social Network - 9/10 - Great dialogue, great visuals, great score, great performance by the whole cast. Jesse Eisenberg especially knocks it out of the park.
5. Zodiac - 8.5/10 - On the initial viewing, I was disappointed, but like Robert Graysmith, it consumes you and you later analyze every detail.
6. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - 8/10 - Probably has the best visuals of any Fincher film, but it also feels very cold and alienating.
7. The Game - 7.5/10 - It's a great thriller, but probably even more cold and alienating than Dragon Tattoo. The ending left a bad taste.
8. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - 7/10 - The last Fincher film I've seen (haven't seen Alien 3), and not as bad as I was expecting. It's visually very striking, but it drags at times.
9. Panic Room - 6.5/10 - My least favorite. From a technical standpoint, it's very well directed, but there's nothing that makes you want to watch it again.
