The Social Network
47% across 408 head-to-head matchups puts The Social Network on the wrong side of average. The record is below the midline, but the distance is not insurmountable. Sorkin's screenplay and Fincher's direction created something that only gets more relevant with time. It's the rare film that voters can pick on pure craft without needing to invoke any larger argument. 1.9s avg decision time (platform avg: 3.5s). No deliberation needed.
Synopsis
In 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programmer Mark Zuckerberg begins work on a new concept that eventually turns into the global social network known as Facebook. Six years later, Mark is one of the youngest billionaires ever, but his unprecedented success leads to both personal and legal complications when he ends up on the receiving end of two lawsuits, one involving his former friend.
There's life in the semis: 56% shows The Social Network can compete when the conditions are right. The finals at 40% are where it loses ground — a mixed profile with one round carrying the rest.
Against Inception, the margin is razor-thin: 50%. The most contested matchup in The Social Network's record. The Social Network beats Gone Girl (76%) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (75%) convincingly. Panic Room at 0% is where the dominance ends.
The path through Nolan vs. Fincher always ends the same way for The Social Network: a final against The Dark Knight, a 60% loss rate. So close and so consistent.
David Fincher's 9 films span a wide range: Fight Club at 56% to Alien³ at 38%. The Social Network sits at #5.
