First time I watched Boogie Nights was in my dorm room back in college, neighbors definitely thought I was watching porn. Which I guess, at times, I was.
I actually like Inherent Vice a little more than Hard Eight. PTA hasn’t made a bad film, though, so even my least favorite of his films is still a great film. He was definitely a prodigy back in the 90s, though, no doubt about it.
Boogie Nights is incredible and I definitely enjoyed Punch Drunk Love more than it. And I'm pretty sure I enjoyed Inherent Vice more than it too.
Boogie Nights is probably my favorite movie of all time. TWBB PDL Magnolia IV The Master Hard Eight I should see The Master again, my expectations colored my enjoyment of it for sure.
Punch-Drunk Love The Master There Will Be Blood Boogie Nights Magnolia Inherent Vice Hard Eight PDL is like a top 10 film for me. I think my top 5 are all 5 star films, with Magnolia being exceedingly underrated by most.
1. There Will Be Blood 2. The Master 3. Punch-Drunk Love Those three are masterpieces. 4. Magnolia 5. Boogie Nights 6. Inherent Vice 7. Junun 8. Hard Eight
