So Fight Club has basically been my favorite movie ever since I saw it ~4 years ago. I've been looking for high quality movies that are similar ever since. I've started working on a fan site (which you can find here) that mostly focuses on similar movies and was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

I have about 10 or so more that I want to add, but I'm always looking for new ones since I can't get enough of Fight Club.

Weeell, I saw Up in the Air as somewhat similar to Fight Club in the "message" sense. The difference is Tyler's philosophies were more about receiving fulfillment through more... controversial means. George Clooney's character was about receiving fulfillment through modernized, capitalistic means. In the end, they both find out that it's more about meeting people and connecting. That's what we really want. That's what the human experience is more geared towards. Up in the Air does a way better job of expressing it, though. Sooo yeah. That's why it's higher up on my list of my favorite movies.

Actually you may like this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure if its "like" fight club but I think people who enjoyed Fight Club would like this.

Cool, I've actually been avoiding that movie since it seemed so romance-comedy esque, but I'll look into it.

Definitely has a high rating on imdb, I'll give it a shot.

P.S. Just watched No Country for Old Men again last night. Fantastic movie!

The movie Triangle is a pretty good mind fuck. Not like Fight Club, but it'll fuck with your head like Fight Club.

In the same "mindfuck" genre - Moon and Black Swan and I can't think of any others right now...

I'll get back to you.

No one ever fucking believes me when I say it.

I'm totally serious. Give it a spin on Netflix or something. You'll see. The similarities will blow your mind.

I know. You already think I'm bullshitting. That's the thing. I'm not.

Any David Lynch flick, really. For the whole dark, mind-fuck thing.

Yep. SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK, which I watched again today is a brilliant meta mind-fuck, too. Fucking love that movie. MULHOLLAND DRIVE, too.

I still say that movie Limitless is a lot like Fight Club. Although, it's mostly just visual style.

If they had used a green filter on the camera lens it would look exactly like Fight Club. You could run the movie with no sound and play the Fight Club soundtrack and it would all synch up. Do this if you want to see Bobby DeNiro as Tyler Durden.

Nah. I remember your reasoning for this. I still find it to be pretty far-fetched. The most convincing part was the opening, with neurons and a tall building, but it's still quite a leap to say that, considering the brain part was an allusion to the actual story, moreso than in Fight Club, and that just leaves you with the building thing. The story's completely different, and so is the message. The similar cinematography is due to a pretty standard style used in Hollywood. Yellow stimulates, blue depresses, green makes you feel like something's off.
