Heard some people on sites have said that Brazil (1985) is similar to "Fight Club", how so? are they both cult movies? are they both about insane people or going against society?
they're both certainly cult movies. they're also about people trying to break out of the socially acceptable patterns of behavior. they also rail against bureacracies. stylistically, they're very different.

Unlike Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, which also had repressive military regimes, Brazil has never punished military officials accused of human rights abuses.
The commission has the support of President Dilma Rousseff, a former guerrilla who was arrested and tortured in prison during the dictatorship.
The armed forces backed the commission after being assured that it would investigate abuses committed by rebels as well as by the military. They were also assured that the 1979 amnesty law that released civilians and the military from liability for politically motivated crimes will remain unaltered.
A recent study by the Brazilian government said 475 people were killed or “disappeared” by agents of the military regime.
Besides Rousseff, several leading figures in Brazil were imprisoned, tortured or exiled.
Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was briefly imprisoned for standing up to the government as a union leader, and his predecessor, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, went into exile, as did singer Gilberto Gil, who later became culture minister.

Caught the last hour of Terry Gilliam's 1985 masterpiece, Brazil. The movie is more poignant than ever.
Brazil is on BBC2. Masterpiece. Came out in 1985 but it's by far the best Orwell adaptation.
