Frankly, I'm shocked that there are no comments on this. Anyway, I think both are the best films of their respective years, but TWBB edges it out.

There will be Blood by far. The Social Network is actually my least favourite Fincher movie (although I haven't seen The Game or Panic Room yet). Maybe I have to see it again, but I didn't care about the subject matter, so I was mostly bored while watching. There will be Blood's subject matter on the other hand is fascinating. Not only that, but the movie is well acted and beautifully shot.

There Will Be Blood for sure. Didn't care about TSN.

Whoa, this is a really tough matchup...

I seem to be in the minority of commentators here, but I'm going with TSN. I think both movies have a common underlying theme, and I just happened to like TSN better.

What a difficult choice! I don't feel at all qualified to say which is objectively better, but i think the film i enjoy watching more is TSN.

Both films have a very similar tone, and a majority of people think that they should've won the Best Picture Oscar from their respective years. I feel that both films are about a rise to the top from both main protagonists, as they dwell deeper and deeper into self-pity, regret and greed. The Social Network the superior film for its witty dialogue, settings, themes and acting.

The Network defeats Daniel Plainview...
