Favorite P.T. Anderson Picture?

If you liked Boogie Nights, you should check out his other films. All good, some great, in my opinion.

Hard Eight (1997) is unquestionably my favorite P.T. Anderson film. The minimalist approach & storyline was quite compelling. The anonymous urban landscape of casinos, diners on the side of the highway, & motel rooms is used to great effect here. I also liked how the theme of redemption/making up for past sins was explored in the film.

The last scene with Sydney in the diner where he notices the tell-tale stain on his shirt & then slowly covers it up is perfect.

I'm guessing a lot of people haven't even seen this film due to it's OOP status on DVD, and also since it was PTA's first feature. Here's hoping for a decent Blu release somewhere down the road.

It's crazy that he hasn't taken home an Oscar yet.

It's between There Will Be Blood and Boogie Nights for me.

I dig all of his movies, but Magnolia is my favorite.
