All of Fincher's work is uniformly good (save for the studio-butchered Alien3.... and that one still has the chilling Fincher-esque ending). I would give Seven the nod, though, with The Game and Panic Room a close second and third.

Fight Club is in a league of its own. His other films don't come close to touching it in terms of thematic richness, visual and musical creativity, or incredibly impressive narrative structure and depth. It's an iconic film that will continue to be a defining film for a generation.
Seven is an extremely good film. The Game is so much fun that it doesn't matter that it's completely implausible. Panic Room has some good, tense stuff but becomes a joke by the end, and Zodiac is a pointless, meandering bore that is well shot but tonally screwed up badly. I hope to get around to Alien 3 someday once I've given the original Alien another shot to make an impression on me and then, after that, seen Aliens.

For me it's Zodiac, Se7en, then Fight Club. Haven't seen the rest.

Zodiac is the only film where he has had something to say about cinema. He lost the trendy bear-soaked bleach bypass and annoying editing that plauges his other films, and actually did something compelling with his camera to establish a seminal visual style. Fight Club is a psuedo-intellectual guy flick, not much there. Seven isn't bad, but its pretty run of the mill conventional thriller story telling. The rest is trash.

'Panic Room' was the best that I saw. It stayed tense right to the end.
'Seven' copped out in the third act. I hate otherwise well-made movies like this that sell out in the end for cheap effect. Fincher obviously didn't see the first two 'Aliens,' which made his version an alien unto itself- it had nothing comparable to the eerie intensity of the first one or the balls-out action of the second, plus nobody to root for except Ripley. It just lay there like a space lox, waiting for a sequel to come along and rescue it. |

Has to he Seven for me. I like Fight Club a lot, but it has lost something on repeat viewings - on offence Seven is never guilty of. Zodiac was very good indeed, though not at the level of the aformentioned films. And I even like Alien 3 - well, more than Alien Resurrection anyway...

For me I'd say Fight Club and Se7en are pretty close.
Slightly below that is Zodiac. Slightly below that is The Game. Below that is Alien 3, which still has a lot of good things about it despite it's flaws... including it's brilliant direction. And then way below any of them is Panic Room, which was a decent movie, but also completely generic and disposable, and so far below what Fincher is capable of that it equates to nothing more than a phone-in.

'Se7en' followed closely by 'Fight Club'.
Then 'The Game' followed closely by 'Zodiac'. |
