Fight Club

about insomnia, materialism, and what it meant to be a Gen-X man during the 1990s. Edward Norton stars as the Unnamed Narrator who finds solace with the bohemian Tyler Durden. Together, they can finally live a life with no regret and start their own underground Fight Club for recreational activities for men. Fight Club was incredibly controversial and divisive upon release and while it may not have won any Oscars, it was and remains one of the most widely discussed films of all time.
