What's your favorite of his films? What's your least favorite? What would you like him to try to adapt/try next?
There Would Be Blood was his best. Punch-Drunk love really didn't do it for me, Sandler just makes my skin crawl I really like his adaptation of Inherent Vice, I'd like to see him try his hand at a PKD movie, maybe Ubik
1. Inherent Vice 2. Hard Eight 3. Punch-Drunk Love 4. Magnolia 5. Boogie Nights 6. There Will Be Blood 7. The Master

I would love to see Paul tackling one of Jay McInerney's work.
Liam Thomas
I'm getting around to watching it, but I haven't had the time :/
Justin Gomez
I can't stand how self-indulgent it is imo. It's too long, too "quirky". The only redeeming qualities were Cruise and Hoffman.
Julian Allen
I think Magnolia can be pretty strong in some parts. PTA on Marc Maron's show was like yeah I'd cut that shit down if I made it today.
Hunter Ross
In my personal opinion...
Hard Eight - 7/10 Boogie Nights - 7.5/10 Magnolia - 9.5/10 Punch Drunk Love - 8/10 There Will Be Blood - 8.5/10 The Master - 9/10 Inherent Vice - 9/10
Not saying Magnolia's his best, I'd say objectively its There Will Be Blood (as of yet). But idk, something about Magnolia I love, it just clicks with me and I can't explain why. Who cares desu
Thomas Mitchell
Best rating ever. GG user.
Justin Phillips
Yeah, it's one of my favs WTF. I'll give Magnolia another go, but I think it's just not for me. I do like the anthology storytelling though.
Caleb Rogers
His best is probably The Master, tied with There Will Be Blood, given the depth of the characters and the layers you can perceive when you rewatch them.
I think Inherent Vice was his weakest film, what a confusing mess. Punch Drunk Love is probably is most original creation, both in length and genre.
Jaxon Adams
THE MASTER IS CLEARLY HIS BEST WORK AND POSSIBLY THE BEST MODERN FILM TO DATE.
William Nelson
Thanks user. Take care
Jack Rogers
Obviously.

Few modern movies are even comparable to the Master, by any measure.
Closest modern films of the same quality are Dogtooth, Certified Copy, and The Act of Killing (technically a documentary, not a film).
