Fight Club in 1080i
One of the few GREAT titles from JVC's Digital Theater line! Although less than 100 D-Theater titles were ever created (not sure about # of titles, but from what I have read, less than 100 were created). If you have one of the few D-theater machines that were manufactured until 2005, this is a great title to add your collection.
Digital Theater VCR's are backwards compatible and can play your standard D-VHS, S-VHS and VHS tapes.

Epic depiction of gen-x and our lack of living! Great!Review created: 06/03/07

I think that most people miss the point on this movie. Yes, it is a great action film with great fight scenes. Yes, Brad Pitt is a really good bad guy. Yes, The music is great. Yes, the apocalyptic regime known as "Project Mayhem" is led by an anarchistic genius.
The point of this movie is that we as a society have grown so accustomed to being a part of the big picture that we forget to be individuals. Yeah, yeah; I am too analytical; whatever!
"Generation X" followed the "ME Generation" and was followed by the "Why Generation". I am a member of Gen-X and I know that Gen-X was and is lost in mediocrity. This film will ring true always because of one simple fact; most people are sheep. Even the people who join the fight clubs and "Project Mayhem" are following someone else's lead. Don't you see it. Don't you understand the glaring, screaming point of this film - that most of us are just cogs in a big machine; but we can break away.
I love this movie. I love the action. I love the dialogue, the acting, the direction, the editing, the music... But what I really love is the underlying truth that is layered throughout the film and brought to the surface without any pomp and circumstance. We are all desperate for something more, something to be a part of, something that will make us feel (pain, hate, love, anger, rage, emotions of every scale).
This is a great film in every way, and Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham-Carter deserved, at the very least Oscar nods, but the film was too controversial, to gratuitously violent and destructive. The supporting cast, including a then unknown Jared Leto, Meatloaf (yeah, the singer) who shines, and several other familiar faces, was phenomenal. As a hollywood blockbuster, this film had it all.
But, more importantly it had something deeper. You can disagree with me if you are not the "artsy-fartsy" type (like me), but the truth remains the same, this film had a point, made the point and took no prisoners along the way.
So, live a little, and watch this movie. Then go out and make something of yourself. Even if you don't get to beat the crap out of someone for fun.

Best movie I've seen in a long time!1 of 4 people found this review helpful.
What do I like about this movie?
The cast is amazing - every role is filled by an actor that fits it like a glove - Norton, Pitt, support cast - all great!
The story is solid - as you've already read, there is an unexpected (yet very awesome) twist at the end. You're also not left confused, which can be a big problem in movies of this nature - the movie does a great job of recapping and leaving the viewer in awe.
Even the soundtrack is good!
What didn't I like?
Honestly, I only feel the movie could be improved if they had made it a little bit longer and added a few more complex events (if you know what the twist is, you should know what I mean). I feel it would help to drive the point home, and make the viewer even more intrigued.
Keep in mind:
The language, violence, and sexual content of this movie are why it is rated R, not the best for young'ins. Not the best date movie in the world either. Awesome movie to watch with a group of buddies - don't try it at home. ;)
*I have published the same review under multiple items due to the similar nature of the products-in this case the movie content between various DVD versions.

I don't like violent movies and I'm not going to beat myself up about it. However, I enjoyed Fight Club. Pre-viewing jitters: Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite movies have violent content. The ones I have trouble enjoying are usually set in present or at least modern times, in settings that seem to have real counterparts and they usually involve some sort of abusive power over weak characters. I can watch Neo/Mr. Anderson getting a mechanical bug put into his stomach without a flinch or see the bloody battles of Gettysburg with an attitude of historical detachment but I am a complete...

"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." What is it about Fight Club? You might just wonder as much as I, should your forum experiences amount to anything even remotely similar to mine. It was out of sheer, morbid curiosity that I finally elected to cough up the dough for the DVD of this movie which I had not seen -- a risk I only take on the rarest of occasions. A month later, I find myself at a loss to describe my initial reaction, let alone my feelings after all this time. But one thing is for sure -- if you just started surfing the cinematic waves in the..

Ah Fight Club. I thought it was about time to write a review on one of the best movies ever released and now it s the time. Ever since 1999 when it came out I had been hearing from everyone how good this movie was, but in my eyes it looked a little uninteresting. That was, until I finally viewed it during the summer. Ever since then I have proclaimed it one of my favorite movies ever made and for good reasons. The story draws you into the characters with the interesting tale and the acting provided by Brad Pitt and Edward Norton is nothing short of extraordinary. Fight Club revolves around a..

Some people may disagree with me on this. But I view Fight Club to be the late 1990s version of Bonfire Of The Vanities. Thankfully, it is far closer in quality to the original Tom Wolfe novel than to the now infamous big-screen version that came out about 9 years before Fight Club. Fight Club (which too is based on a novel, by Chuck Palahnuik), is an example of what the Sherman McCoy character might have been like if he had achieved his upwardly mobile financial success in the 1990s instead of the 1980s Me Decade. You see: the 1990s were just as much a decade of greed as the 1980s were when..

Fight Club is a smack in the face. It s a slap up-side your brain. It s a roaring locomotive of a motion picture, chugging down the tracks while you re tied to the rails. It s a cinematic cup of coffee, fueled with ten teaspoons of sugar and twenty teaspoons of cocaine (Stir well). It s a liquid jazz of words that flows in one ear, spends a few moments in your brain agitating and exciting, then exits out the other ear. It is, to quote the old Batman TV show, BIF! BAM! POW! I saw Fight Club yesterday and I m just now coming down off its buzz and roar. Yet, like the aftermath of most drug trips.
