Magnolia is so good

I'm halfway through a re-watch and the things that stand out so far are:
1) the writing. Not only does P.T. have so much to say, the way he weaves so many characters to seamlessly and smoothly is breathtaking
2) the acting is superb, no sublime. Everyone hits their notes perfectly
3) Tom Cruise is a very good actor and has big balls to play parts like this
4) John C Reilly is a boss
5) etc....etc...etc...

My favorite movie of all time.
Blows my mind my mind. Haven't seen anything like it before or since.

Big fan. Everyone does a bang up acting job. Great direction. Great writing.
Never quite understood the frogs.

I feel it is his best overall film. I need to buy the bluray version. Haven't seen in several years but it is such a complete masterpiece.

I have never seen it. I was pretty young when it came out and I remember the trailer was pretty weird because I was about 10. I will order it off of Amazon on Blu Ray tonight.

I think there's a lot to appreciate about Magnolia, but I wouldn't say I like it. I'll never understand the frogs. I think it's such a pretentious scene.
I do think PTA is a master, Boogie Nights is a top five movie for me.

Check that ego -- come off it -
I'm the prophet -- the professor -
Ima teach you 'bout The Worm -
Who eventually turned to catch wreck
with the neck of a long time oppressor
And he's runnin from the devil, but the
debt is always gaining
And if he's worth being hurt, he's worth
bringin' pain in -
When the sunshine don't work, the Good Lord
bring the rain in.
