Fight Club has long been considered a cult classic, but it turns out it’s actually the most-watched movie on Letterboxd.
For those of you who may not be familiar with my favorite movie app, Letterboxd is a brief overview: it’s a movie library that lets you log your viewing interests, leave comments to try to earn internet points, and list The movie listing is titled “Movies that will truly make your heart explode with joy and pain.” It’s essentially the best tool for those “oh, I really should remember to watch that” moments, but you don’t have to remember because Letterboxd does it for you. It’s also the de facto home of every movie bro you’ve ever seen, as they write lengthy reviews in such gorgeous language that no one will ever read, and only another movie bro will think there’s anything worth reading there.

The power of the movie bros can’t be underestimated, though, and it’s likely thanks to their constant talk about Fight Club (have they even seen the movie? It’s made a point not to talk about Fight Club , oh my god!) that this is One Point became the most watched movie in the movie recording app (thanks to Collider). If you have too much time, user “ur_mom_lol” has a handy list of the top 1000 most watched movies, but don’t worry I’ll go through some of the top 10 for you because I know that’s what you want will go straight.
As mentioned, Fight Club is now No. 1, with 4.124 million users logged into the movie, beating out Joker’s 4.121 million users (I promise you, the app is more than just movie bros). Fortunately, some good movies followed these two, with Parasite and Barbie grossing 4.1 and 4 million respectively.
Fight Club was actually a bit of a box office flop when it was first released in 1999, grossing just $101 million against a budget of $63-65 million. Director David Fincher claimed that part of the reason for the failure was the way it was marketed, which was primarily to the World Wrestling Federation (spoiler, the movie wasn’t actually about Fight Club itself). The film went on to sell 13 million DVDs, so it made its money back, but that’s why it’s considered a cult classic today. Well done, Fincher – your movie is finally popular.
