Anthony Hopkins stars as the original Zorro, who has been in prison for 20 years. – Adam Chitwood The Mask of Zorro Sony Picturesīefore “The Mummy” or “The Pirates of the Caribbean,” there was “The Mask of Zorro.” The 1998 film is based on the classic TV series of the same name, but director Martin Campbell injects this 19th century-set tale with enough intrigue, adventure and swashbuckling to keep a grin on your face from beginning to end. The trifecta of Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter is phenomenal, and that ending still hits just as hard no matter how many times you’ve seen it. Fincher himself described it as a romantic comedy, and the film is decrying the toxic masculinity that abounds instead of celebrating it – although try telling that to the legion of boys whose main takeaway from the film was that they should start their own fight club. While David Fincher’s seminal 1999 film is still hilarious and searing, it was also widely misunderstood upon release. ![]() If it’s been awhile since you’ve seen “Fight Club,” you’re due for a rewatch.
