I don’t DISLIKE any of his movies but I do think two of them don’t add up for me

oh man, INHERENT VICE may have supplanted THERE WILL BE BLOOD as my favorite. (although i very much loved LICORICE PIZZA.)

it’s not that I think it’s his best but IV is *without question* my favorite. a perfect cheeky stoner haze of a film.

i'm still gobsmacked that someone managed to effectively adapt a Pynchon novel.

I should give IV another spin, just saw it once (in 70mm)

this is a thing I love about PTA - his films are all so specific and idiosyncratic that everyone’s going to have a different ranking and different ones that land or miss my top 4 are Boogie Nights, Phantom Thread, Punch-Drunk Love and There Will Be Blood, in roughly that order

inherent vice feels like it should be up my alley, but i just can't get into it. pains me.

I probably like TWBB more than you and you definitely like PDL more than me. But I'll die on the "PT and LP are peak PTA" hill.

I was levitating in my seat a few times watching LP, the criticism of that movie seemed a bit much imho
