  1. 1992

    Alien 3

    1h 54m

    A famously miserable production he has effectively disowned. Do not judge him by it.

  2. 1995

    Se7en

    Essential

    2h 7m

    Two detectives, seven deadly sins, and one of the great endings.

  3. 1997

    The Game

    2h 9m

    A paranoid thriller that works entirely on a first viewing and not much after.

  4. 1999

    Fight Club

    Essential

    2h 19m

    Misread by a generation of people it was satirising.

  5. 2002

    Panic Room

    1h 52m

    A single-location thriller, and a technical exercise in impossible camera moves.

  6. 2007

    Zodiac

    Essential

    2h 37m

    An unsolved case told as pure procedure. His best film, and the least conclusive.

  7. 2008

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

    2h 46m

    His most sentimental film, which is not a register that suits him.

  8. 2010

    The Social Network

    Essential

    2h 0m

    Sorkin's script at full speed. Ages better every single year.

  9. 2011

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

    2h 38m

    A remake made two years after the original, and better shot than it needed to be.

  10. 2014

    Gone Girl

    Essential

    2h 29m

    A missing-wife thriller that turns into something much nastier.

    2h 11m

    The writing of Citizen Kane, from a script by his late father.

  12. 2023
