My list contains mostly thrillers which Dragon Tattoo is also:

La Femme Nikita
Point of No Return
Under the Skin
Leon The Professional
Gone Girl
Monster
Black Swan

Also that show 'Mr Robot', I got so many Dragon Tattoo vibes from that. Though the director of the Swedish Dragon Tattoo took the helm it still reminded me a lot of Fincher's aesthetic, but also the main character, Elliot Alderson, reminds me a lot of Lisbeth and he's played wonderfully by Rami Malek. It also is about hacking and political corruption and being an outsider, so there are many many Dragon Tattoo vibes on that show, more than any of the movies I mentioned above, though those are great films with incredibly complex and dark female characters.

Ironically, I got a strong Fincher vibe from his original Dragon Tattoo movie. That's probably just his style. Not that I'm complaining.

I just started watching Mr Robot and got the same impression right off the bat... really looking forward to seeing more.

And it's not surprising that it (Mr Robot) should resemble Finchers aestetic... Oplev also cited Fincher as an inspiration for his Dragon Tattoo film (funny enough).
