The top three could all be #1 depending on the day. As far as Fight Club goes, I've never been too big of a fan. It tries to be deep when the majority of it is surface level social commentary fueled by misplaced angst, all for an anti-establishment message that I can neither look at as genuine nor resonate with.

Could change on another viewing as my taste has changed significantly since the first one, but that's where I'm at now.

Too sentimental and it plays like a spiritual successor to Forrest Gump.

I might be giving it too much credit at the #8 spot now that I think about it...

Not sure I understand the auteur/quarterback distinction though, but Fincher is definitely an auteur.
