Every David Fincher Movie, Ranked
One of the most critically acclaimed film directors of the past three decades, David Fincher has made 11 features to date—each written by a different screenwriter. With his latest film, the Oscar hopeful Mank, soon to launch on Netflix, we are taking the opportunity to rank all of the director's films from worst to best according to their Metascores, which reflect the critical consensus for each film.
Fincher's second film and first hit (it may even be his top-grossing film after adjusting for inflation, though it's #3 without the adjustment), this tense, dark, and memorable 1995 thriller stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as detectives on the trail of one of cinema's most evil villains: a seven deadly sins-obsessed serial killer named John Doe (Kevin Spacey).
“It's not the identity of the killer that gives Seven its kick -- it's the way Fincher raises mystery to the level of moral provocation.” —Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
