Fight club isn't about nihilism. It's about the workers rising up.

Tyler Durden is the most nihilistic character of all time, his whole philosophy is founded upon destroying society and what it values

Marla Singer is also nihilistic, not particularly caring about anything and shares many of Tyler's sentiments and sharing his hate for a consumer culture

Nihilism is all about how life is without any real value, and there is no true morality as this is man made, it thrives in chaos

The point of project mayhem isn't to overthrow the system and install a marxist ideology, its about the good that is intrinsic in destroying such a system seen in their constant attacks on things that are valued in our society such as cars or banks

Do you mean psychoanalysis or psychoanalytical because I think the latter relates more to Freud

Pretty much anything,

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Inversion as the lead character is giving a female lead however she still has to depend on a man for help in her mission - Angel

V for Vendetta - Ultimate Classic - Marxist the repression of the people by the state will eventually lead to the withering away of the state as is seen at the end when the people stand up for themselves. Also, 1984 the movie.

:erm:

Does The Simpsons count? The Simpsons - The relegation of Marge to the stereotypical female role in which she is responsible for the upbringing of her kids; even in a modern world she is still trapped as a house wife.

Scrubs - Elliot - the female character is emotionally unstable and depends on men.
