Also, hi Mickey.

[Mickey]

through the grapevine ive heard this is pta’s best film. hard to believe it will better than The Master, but we’ll see

Which is the worst? Not including Hard Eight if you do in fact think it is the worst.

It's not Hard Eight.

Inherent Vice?

Hey Len. It's not that one either.

TWBB? I give up. Rank them all, please.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Oh is it Phantom Thread? I forgot about that one. Haven't seen it either.

[Mickey]

Oh I forgot about Phantom Thread, haven't seen that one either.

It's Punch Drunk Love for me though.

That was my next guess, but part of me was hoping it wasn't true. God I love that movie.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Well I'm about to drive to my parents'. Have a nice evening and holiday, friend.

[Mickey]

You too bud.

[Malloy]

it’s Magnolia

[Mickey]

Yeah it might be Magnolia. PDL bottom half though.

[VinylGuy]

im not sure but maybe Boogie Nights for me.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Punch Drunk Love
The Master
There Will Be Blood
Magnolia
Boogie Nights
Hard Eight
Inherent Vice

I need to rewatch the last two though. I appreciated a lot about Inherent Vice, but like trag said a rewatch could change something.

[The Argonaut]

I think in fifty years, TWBB and Phantom Thread and The Master will be the ones people are still watching

I want Punch Drunk Love played at my funeral.

[Mickey]

The Master
Boogie Nights
There Will Be Blood
Inherent Vice
Hard Eight
Magnolia
Punch Drunk Love

Haven't seen Phantom Thread.

[Mickey]

Wrong. Boogie Nights is one of the greatest movies of the 90s, perfectly captures/stages American "End of History"

[lennytheweedwhacker]

The second half of Boogie Nights didn't grab me as much as the first, but I've only seen it once so I suppose a rewatch is in order also.

[Malloy]

The Master
There Will Be Blood
Boogie Nights
Inherent Vice
Phantom Thread
Punch Drunk Love
Hard Eight
Magnolia

[Malloy]

as far as I can tell, the guy has three masterpieces, three excellent movies, a good movie, and an uneven movie
