Ha. Good one

I honestly don't get the big deal about Fight Club. It's a good movie but I'm confused why people get so obsessed about it.

As much as I enjoy Burn After Reading, it's not a great movie. Fight Club for sure.

Two brilliant performances from Brad Pitt in these two films. Now based on Pitt's performances alone I figure most people would pick Fight Club but I would say that Burn After Reading shows Pitt in a completely different light. Never before or since have I seen him play such a different than usual role.

Brad Pitt does at least take on different roles, yet his essential Bradpittness always comes through. Of these two films, Fight Club is better. Burn After Reading is good (but by no means among the best Coen Bros.)

Both are awesome films and Brad Pitt gives awesome performances in both, but I think Fight Club is an awesomer (is that a word?) film.

Burn After Reading is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I dislike most comedies, but I seriously enjoyed the heck out of that one. But I don't think I could pick it over Fight Club.

Burn After Reading was the first Coens movie I saw, and it was a weird experience to say the least. I remember enjoying it though. But Fight Club is better.

Fight Club is a millions times better. And I really like Burn After Reading.
