A movie reviewer I watch made a poll about your favourite Paul Thomas Anderson movie. Realised I haven't seen any of them. There was a showing of One Battle After Another at an almost perfect time, so I went to watch it.

I loved it. I hope this is will all his movies, but it almost felt timeless. They do have modern phones and cars, but it could easily be set in any time period.

    I just went to look up his other movies and realised I've just watched Licorice Pizza which has been on my watchlist for a while. Highly recommended. Must check out some of his other stuff.

    Most of his movies are different tonally than that movie. I won't say they aren't funny but the comedy tends to be darker. They also tend to be a slower burn. One Battle After Another kind of just takes off and doesn't stop moving until the end. But the quality of his films is always up there.
