Paul Thomas Anderson is known for his experimental and fearless quest into exploring characters in ways that are unflinching and at times, uncomfortable.

With the exception of last place (I really struggle with the age-gap in the relationship), I’ve watched these films multiple times and some of them are among my favourite films of all time.

Here’s my ranking for the filmography of Paul Thomas Anderson:

1. The Master (2012)
2. There Will Be Blood (2007)
3. One Battle After Another (2025)
4. Boogie Nights (1997)
5. Phantom Thread (2017)
6. Magnolia (1999)
7. Inherent Vice (2014)
8. Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
9. Hard Eight (1996)
10. Licorice Pizza (2021)
