Favorite Paul Thomas Anderson Movies

Whats everyone's top 5
1. Boogie Nights- maybe one of my favorite movies period
2. There Will Be Blood- Great movie, Intense, character driven
3. Magnolia- I had to watch it a couple of times but it grew on me
4. The Master- I think underrated by most on this board but I really enjoyed all of the performances
5. Punch Drunk Love- To this day, hands down the only movie I think Adam Sandler acted in, and he did a hell of a job.
I still have yet to see Hard Eight but I hear good things

All of his movies are good. No need for ranking. Punch Drunk is the weakest.

Punch Drunk is underrated
That's a brilliant film of simplicity and minimalism.
I'd rank them like this:
His best and most accessible film is Magnolia. His most well-rounded film is probably Boogie Nights.
I think the most powerful film he made is There Will Be Blood. The most sensitive - PDL.
All are above-average to great.

HA! We finally disagree, my not-quite doppleganger! PT Anderson films fail on one of the most basic levels -- he can't tell a coherent story.
Punch Drunk Love is a great movie. Boogie Nights is decent (actually, I'd call it uneven, great in the first half and then a complete mess in the second half). Other than that, I range from dislike to intense hatred of his other films.

To each his own. I have similar feeling about Tarrantino. I either fricking love one of his movies or I cant stand it
Case in point- Pulp Fiction F'N Love this movie Django Unchained- Wanted to ask for my money back
Reservoir Dogs- Loved it
Inglorious Bastards- Outside of Waltz, hated it

PDL is the best. PDL is my favorite movie.
I love all of his films though.
Great artist. Magnolia is the one that got me hooked. I saw the trailer with all the cast introducing themselves while sitting in a dentists chair and thought, "that looks interesting."

There Will be Blood is his masterpiece, IMO. It is his darkest and most powerful movie. Second, I would go with The Master (Phoenix deserved the Oscar). Third, Magnolia. Boogie Nights is probably my least favorite.

Holy hell, I finally somewhat agree with Baloo.

Boogie Nights is a flawless movie.
Well, that was kind of the point....

Boogie nights is my favorite
But it plays like it should have been an HBO series and not a movie
That story played out over 12 episodes would have been off the charts. Today it doesn't get made as a movie and it is probably a cable series

1. There Will be Blood
2. Boogie Nights
3. The Master

5. Magnolia
I admittedly haven't seen Hard Eight, either.
You can say the same about many other "great directors."
