“Fight Club” (1999) “Fight Club” is one of those movies that’s frequently brought up in conversation, whether it’s about how good it was or if it’s simply mentioning the first rule of Fight Club. The story of Tyler Durden was one hell of a mind game, and our brains exploded once we figured out that Tyler Durden and the expressionless average Joe are the same person.

“Avengers: Infinity War” (2018) The tears were flowing with this superhero blockbuster.
