Whiplash is top 5?! Damn

Not quite. It's #6.

EDIT: I misread that as The Social Network.

I'm not keen on biopics or Andrew Garfield and I detest Facebook. So I've always steered clear of the Social Network! Maybe I should watch it!

Oh nice a tie

I've always considered myself a huge Fincher fan, and yet, I've never been a huge fan of The Social Network. I mean, it is finely crafted, performances are pretty good, and there are some great scenes in there (with the Andrew Garfield realizing what's happening scene being the easy highlight), but for the most part, the film left me cold. I didn't really consider it for my list.


Here's where I'm at, including the chances for the rest of my list...

Seen: 72/95

Although I've enjoyed several of David Fincher's other films, I've never had any interest in The Social Network.

EDIT: I misread raul's post as The Social Network.

I thought The Social Network was very good but not quite a contender for my ballot. I'm a little surprised it's this high just because it's from 2010. Didn't realize it had that kind of lasting appeal.

Saw The Social Network once back in the day, didn't much care for it and have never really had any interest in revisiting it.

The Social Network was #19 on my ballot. It's a powerful character study which stuck with me for quite a while when I finished it. We all know that Facebook went on to become a huge success and that Zuckerberg is a billionaire, but at what cost did he achieve his fame? This film explores the various controversies he encountered in the early stages of starting Facebook, the enemies he made, and the friends he lost along the way. Though he isn't likable in any sense, the characters around him are fully aware of his flaws and, throughout the film, they're exposed to us a bit at a time. Regardless of whether you care about Facebook or not (I don't give a shit about it, personally), this film is definitely worth watching.

Updated ballot:

1. The Tree of Life (#10)
