Also, the girl chosen to play the main character, Lisbeth Salander, Rooney Mara, is in The Social Network, so it was interesting to see her work too.

Yup....I thought it was an excellent movie.

Haven't read any of the books, but Dragon Tattoo is in my Netflix Q. I did not like Fincher's Fight Club very much (it sent me to sleep), but I have recently seen Seven. I had to watch it twice, very strange movie, but good.

Ooh....Seven was so creepy! Good, but really creepy. I didn't see Fight Club, or The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but I did think Panic Room was really compelling.

I couldn't remember the other Fincher movies so good you reminded me. Panic Room, only so-so. Interesting that Kristen Stewart played her daughter in that movie and now she's really big. Hated with a passion Button. Bailed out after 30 mins or so. Fight Club, very strange, more of a guy's movie I think you might say.
