I found your guys' responses in the Tarantino thread to be very interesting, so I decided to create a similar thread for Paul Thomas Anderson.

What is your favorite film of his and why?

Magnolia for me.

T.M
There will be Blood for me

SnakeEyes
Anyone else? Guess Tarantino's a bit more popular wink

I'm not a big PTA fan. Boogie Nights was bearable, but I just don't find it that amazing.

Myth
There Will Be Blood for me.

dadudemon
I voted for the coolest title since I don't really care for any of those. no expression

BackFire
Either Boogie Nights or There Will Be Blood.

I didn't care for Magnolia.

MildPossession
Magnolia, and There Will Be Blood.

SnakeEyes
Reviving this one! I have to rewatch There Will Be Blood.

Impediment
Again, the only PTA film I have ever seen is Boogie Nights, and it was decent, but not awesome, in my opinion.

I have only seen Boogie Nights. That was good though.

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

Rick Deckard
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.

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

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

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