David Fincher/YMMV
- Award Snub: Many fans are still bitter about the total absence of Se7en and Fight Club from the Academy Awards, as well as The Social Network's loss of Best Director and Best Film to The King's Speech.
- Cult Classic: Several of his films, most famously Fight Club.
- Tough Act to Follow: Fight Club had a mixed critical reaction and did poorly at the box office, but nevertheless had such an impact that it overshadowed much of Fincher's later work. He's only really started to escape this as of The Social Network, with its multiple Oscar nominations and very enthusiastic critical reception.
- Vindicated by History: Se7en and Fight Club both received mixed reactions from critics at the time of their release. Today, both are widely considered to be among the best films of The Nineties.
- Fight Club was a failure at the box office, but became extremely successful on home video.
