Director's Score: David Fincher

I have been listening to a podcast called "Watching the Directors" which is a husband and wife team who podcast about a director's body of work. They made up a 10 quiz to judge the various things they liked and disliked about the films. So, I'm stealing there ten quiz in hopes of sparking some discussion. Here it goes.

David Fincher:
1) FAVORITE FILM - The Game

2. BEST CHARACTER - Somerset (Morgan Freeman's character in Se7en

3. BEST SOUNDTRACK - Fight Club

4. ESSENTIAL SCENE - Jack's realization of who he is (in Fight Club)

5. WORST FILM - Panic Room

6. BEST FILM - Se7en

7. DVD RECOMMENDATION - Panic Room 3 disc (or the Criterion Laserdisc of the Game)

8. DESERT ISLAND FILM - The Game

9. KEY COLLABORATOR - Darius Khonji (DP on Se7en)

10. TO REMAKE OR RECAST - David Fincher should remake The DaVinci Code

What do you think?

Wait so Panic Room is the worst film but the 3rd disc of its DVD set is the best? So confused!

Yeah, I know it seems weird. But I have found that often times a flawed films has the best suppliments. Panic Room is exhaustive and goes through the entire process from pre visualization to post production. It's really good, the movie, for me though, is his weakest.
