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.

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

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.

Punch Drunk Love
The Master
There Will Be Blood
Magnolia
Boogie Nights

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.

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

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

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.
