Top 3 films of PTA
For me:
1. https://resizing.flixster.com/QD8c_6...DA7ODAwOzEyMDA Easy number one choice for me. The best film of the 21st Century, and among the best ever. Hard to envision PTA ever topping this masterpiece. 2. https://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/M...82,268_AL_.jpg If not for LA Confidential, I would say this deserved Best Picture. The fact that it wasn't even nominated, yet that farce Good Will Hunting was is beyond me. Another masterpiece film from PTA. 3. https://resizing.flixster.com/JgkxST...DA7ODAwOzEyMDA There was a time when I would have picked Magnolia over The Master, but upon further viewings, The Master is getting better w/time whereas Magnolia wasn't quite as good as I remembered (but still excellent). |
Re: Top 3 films of PTA
My fave of the 3 is Boogie Nights. Didn’t see it for the first time until 2-3 years ago & I loved it.
|
1. Boogie Nights
2. There Will Be Blood 3. Magnolia Easy call for me |
01. The Master
02. There Will Be Blood 03. Punch Drunk Love The Master and TWBB are both #1 basically. Boogie Nights is close and i'd like to see what i think of Phantom Thread on a rewatch. Have to see Inherent Vice again too, i haven't watched it since it came out and i'm particularly interested what i'll think after reading some Pynchon. I've actually watched all of his films other than Inherent Vice within the last year. |

1. Phantom Thread
2. There Will Be Blood 3. Magnolia The others I've seen suck. |
Re: Top 3 films of PTA
I don't think any PTA movie "sucks".
Hard Eight is the weakest link and even that's a solid film. |
Re: Top 3 films of PTA
Inherent Vice is the only PTA movie I felt disappointed by after viewing. Everything else PTA did felt like it had a focused vision and whether or not it worked varied, but Inherent Vice just felt like a mess to me.
Also... 1. Boogie Nights 2. Boogie Nights 3. Boogie Nights |

Re: Top 3 films of PTA
Boogie Nights and Magnolia are PTA's best 2 movies.
Punch Drunk Love was really good, too. Adam Sandler needs to make more serious films. He can act when working with the right people and material. I found The Master and There Will Be Blood to be extremely boring. And I couldn't get myself to finish Inherent Vice, a movie I really wanted to like. |

Inherent Vice doesn't even have a dance number in the middle like Boogie Nights does? How can one even defend it?
Also Boogie Nights has Marky Mark and Inherent Vice has Joaquin Phoenix, which automatically makes the latter superior. |

At least we got to see Marky Mark's penis at the end.
