15 Reasons to Watch Fight Club Right Now

The date was November 2nd, 2015. I walked in my school’s screening room at approximately 5:15. At 5:22 the FBI warning came across the tiny LED screen.

I never thought Brad Pitt was attractive before.

I watched half of Fight Club that day. I had a class at 6:30. I was decently confused as to where this film was going. I probably wouldn’t have continued if it wasn’t in the top 10 on IMDb’s famous Top 250 and (more importantly) if my boyfriend (at the time) didn’t offer to finish it off with me later that week.

That November I watched Fight Club 36 times. Whenever I needed background noise to study to or an icebreaker for a blossoming friendship, Fight Club was there for me.

If you haven’t seen this classic cult film here’s why:

1. Academy Award Winner Brad Pitt in his prime.


2. Acclaimed actor Edward Norton takes us away.


3. It's a pretty faithful adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's (first ever published) book of the same name.

Upon watching it he actually said “Fun fact: his first completed work Invisible Monsters has been a great influence on Panic! at the Disco’s first album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out

4. Because it's more tan just a "Fight Club"


5. It's so quotable.


6. You'll laugh! (Stop hitting yourself)


7. Jared Leto circa 30 Seconds to Mars.


8. Helena Bingham Carter being a QUEEN.


9. Directed by David Fincher, who brought Gone Girl and The Social Network to life.

10. There's a plot twist that M. Night Shyamalan can't ever beat.


11. The plot twist makes it even better to watch the second time around.


12. The cinematography is so enticing.


13. It teaches us you can change your life.


14. It's just a rad film.


15. You'll probably be my best friend after watching this and I could use more friends

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
