The ‘90s Cult Classic Brad Pitt Called ‘The Best Movie I’m Ever Going To Be In’ Just Joined Peacock

by

Brad Pitt has starred in many acclaimed films over his 40-year career, including hits like Ocean’s Eleven and Inglourious Basterds. However, he considers a certain ’90s movie, now available on Peacock, to be among his very best work. Shortly after the film’s release, Pitt boldly stated it was “the best movie I’m ever going to be in,” and critics continue to praise it nearly three decades later.

We’re talking about Fight Club, the iconic 1990s film starring Brad Pitt as a soap salesman. He joins forces with an unnamed character to create a secret, underground fighting club as a way to break free from their boring routines. Directed by David Fincher, the movie began streaming on Peacock on March 1st and is still worth watching, even if you’re a repeat viewer. Interestingly, when it first premiered at the 1999 Venice Film Festival, the audience and critics heavily booed it. However, Brad Pitt firmly believed in the film, telling his co-star Edward Norton, according to The Ringer, that it was the best movie he’d ever be in.

Brad Pitt’s Fight Club Is a Modern Masterpiece

Brad Pitt actually underestimated how impactful Fight Club would become. Years later, it’s considered one of the most important and highly-rated films ever made. With a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes from over 250,000 reviews, it’s among Pitt’s best-reviewed movies. It also scores a 4.3/5 on Letterboxd and an 8.8 on IMDb, placing it at No. 13 on IMDb’s Top 250 films. Simply put, it lives up to the hype.

David Fincher’s Fight Club is a visually striking and thought-provoking film that criticizes our obsession with possessions, traditional ideas about men, and what it means to be an individual. It’s filled with memorable and philosophical lines – like “The things you own end up owning you” and “The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club” – and boasts a shocking twist ending that people still debate. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton give powerful performances, bringing the film’s troubled characters to life. While it didn’t receive much attention when it first came out, Fight Club has become incredibly popular over the past 25 years and remains a film many people watch again and again.

What’s New on Peacock?

Peacock has added a bunch of new movies this month, including popular titles like Fight Club and The Big Lebowski.
