One of David Fincher's Worst film

This has got to be one of his worst film off his filmography list. It doesn't even deserve to be in the Criterion Collection.

Top 3 would be:
1. Fight Club
2. Seven
3. The Social Network

Least Favorite:
1. The Game

What are your thoughts?

Alien 3 was his worst movie, followed by The Game

Dont judge me based on your ignorance

I haven't seen Alien 3 yet. I heard he hates that film himself and he desperately tries to disassociate himself from it.

At least it's not as painfully pretentious as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo neither as simply bad as Panic Room. Haven't seen Alien^3, though.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo > The Game
Panic Room > The Game

Great, thanks for sharing your opinion on how *beep* The Game is one more time.

This is one of his best films. The Social Network is intelligent, well acted and well made, but it has no soul. IMHO, his worst film is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Haven't bothered to see Alien 3.

"One of David Fincher's Worst film"

Films.

I agree it is definitely his worst film. Overrated film of all time right next to 'Crash' and 'Forrest Gump'.

The Game, to me, is his BEST film.

The Social Network is his most overrated.

Alien 3 is easily his worst.

No ... Panic Room, Alien 3 and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are far worse.

The Game is one of his best films.

I don't agree, I'm glad Criterion added this to the collection ..if it wasn't for them I might not have never seen this movie. I liked it more than se7en. I didn't get any message from se7en, not that I expect every movie I watch to have some deep meaning. Fight club is one of my favorites though. I kept thinking I was was predicting how The Game would go but ..nope. really blew me away, wasn't expecting it to be like that. I guess its one of those "either love it or hate it" .
