Mangrove (2020) dir. Steve McQueen
#Mangrove#Steve McQueen#Small Axe#Much more interesting in its first half as a snapshot of a politically active community than the (necessarily) more didactic courtroom dram#Still wonderful ensemble work and leads the anthology well - definitely the best of the Alastair Siddons ones

Widows (2018) dir. Steve McQueen
#Widows#Steve McQueen#Honestly what a funny move immediately after 12 Years a Slave very iconic#“Hey Steve you're the toast of the town what do you wanna do” *5 years later* ”There's this old ITV series I want to remake but in Chicago"

12 Years a Slave (2013) dir. Steve McQueen
#12 Years a Slave#Steve McQueen#Interesting movie to revisit in how it employs installation/art film and Oscar/prestige film tropes in pretty equal measure#Far from revolutionary but the first of a few examples of McQueen wrenching the format to his purposes - needs more credit for that

Shame (2011) dir. Steve McQueen
#Shame#Steve McQueen#Honestly this film is a little bit too silly - a lot harder to take seriously than when I saw it in high school lol#Like what am I supposed to feel watching Fassbender look about to cry while clapping cheeks? It's nearly campy

Hunger (2008) dir. Steve McQueen
#Hunger#Steve McQueen#Really striking how this is mainly a film about bodily (dys)function#This would continue to be a thread through his first couple films but he'd leave it aside eventually - he should make another one like this#Also I feel like my choice of filmmakers has skewed very contemporary so I promise my next series will be someone older

Licorice Pizza (2021) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#Licorice Pizza#Paul Thomas Anderson#Alana Haim carries this entire movie on her back#Like how easy would it be for this to be just annoying? She injects so much emotion and personality in here it's nuts

Phantom Thread (2017) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#Phantom Thread#Paul Thomas Anderson#One of those not-a-hair-out-of-place kinda films#DDL is great of course but he's so shown up by Manville and Krieps it's nuts - what an ensemble

Junun (2015) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#Junun#Paul Thomas Anderson#Just a music doc about an impossibly obscure collab that emphasizes the value of jamming and chilling#Judiciously short and pretty unpretentious/playful in how it presents itself which is a huge asset for something like this

#Inherent Vice#Paul Thomas Anderson#Phoenix is perfectly good here but I am kind of bummed we didn't get to see the RDJ version of this#Such a consummately California movie

The Master (2012) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#The Master#Paul Thomas Anderson#I've really had Joaquin Phoenix fatigue the last few years but ooooh man he's all time here. I remember now#THE Jonny Greenwood score as well. A film of immense talent and discovery

There Will Be Blood (2007) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#There Will Be Blood#Paul Thomas Anderson#DDL in this really is just all time - you kind of want to be able to say he's a little overrated but there's just no denying the work here#Not PTA at the peak of his powers I think but hard to find any fault with this really - some of the le meme dialogue is a little clunky ig

Punch-Drunk Love (2002) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#Punch Drunk Love#Paul Thomas Anderson#Such a strange movie to come from the innocuous pitch of “The Adam Sandler Persona in an indie romance”#A lot of fondness for this one

Magnolia (1999) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#Magnolia#Paul Thomas Anderson#One of those films that's hazardously close to being insanely cringe for its whole runtime but ends up great somehow#Pretty rough for this post format though - this thing is like 60% closeups

Boogie Nights (1997) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#Boogie Nights#Paul Thomas Anderson#A lot of very elegant pieces here but it's a bit of a stapled together film isn't it?#Obviously very important creatively & commercially for PTA but I kind of think this is him at his least interesting

Hard Eight (1996) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson
#Hard Eight#Paul Thomas Anderson#There's good stuff here but it's also SUCH a first feature lol#Pretty impeccable four-piece ensemble though plus a knockout single scene role for Phil Hoffman - PTA's always been an actors' director

A Hidden Life (2019) dir. Terrence Malick
#A Hidden Life#Terrence Malick#Gives Days of Heaven a run for its money for Prettiest Malick#Also just an impossibly beautiful and moving film - moreso than Days!

Song to Song (2017) dir. Terrence Malick
#Song to Song#Terrence Malick#In a small concession to the haters this IS Malick's weakest and it kind of doesn't go anywhere#All the musician cameos are fun though
