While I think many will say <em>There Will Be Blood</em>, I think <em>Magnolia </em>is PTA's masterpiece. He's said before that he felt like he made mistakes with it and that there's too much raw emotion. Honestly, that's what I think is so brilliant about it. In a way, it's just this epic mess of emotion and catharsis, and I consider it one of my favorite films of all time.
