While I agree with ‘Citizen Kane’ being number one, Magnolia, by P. T. Anderson should definitely be number 2 or 3. A flawless, real, slice-of-life story that reminds us that we’re all looking for the same thing and are too often held back by the things we refuse to deal with. Life is so complicated and we have to make it so much harder to just live by dwellings in lies and secrecy and anger. Magnolia is pure brilliance.
