Fight Club is one such rare movie that deserves to win many nominations and
awards, clearly and literally. It is one the best films of 1999.This dark story

world. Fat of the land!

Durden: As the fat renders, the

tallow float to the surface. Like in
boy scouts. Once the tallow
hardens, you skim off a layer of
glycerine.
