David Fincher Movies Ranked 

Fincher represents a synthesis of filmmaking styles. He is a student of Kubrick’s cold observation and Spielberg’s guiding composition, matching each director’s reputed attention to detail. His versatility working in genres from sci-fi to drama to psychological thriller demonstrate an ability to bring what’s needed to a film while maintaining a distinct aesthetic. His textural style is marked by high-contrast lighting, visual distancing that highlights important close-ups, and focused montage – even when the color palette changes, or the camera incorporates new techniques based on momentary decision-making, Fincher’s tendencies can be identified throughout his work.
