I thought I would revive this thread since the topic was discussed on the show last night.
I am surprised to hear that Phantom Thread is one of Tom's all-time favorite movies. It really didn't do it for me.
Some of these I have not watched in a really long time, so I may need to re-evaluate. But for now I would say:
1. Inherent Vice
2. There Will be Blood
3. Punch Drunk Love
4. Magnolia
5. Licorice Pizza
6. Boogie Nights
7. The Master
8. Phantom Thread
(I did not see Hard Eight)
