Directed by: Paul Thomas Anderson
Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the best directors of the past decade so its fitting that his best film of the decade is one of my best of the decade. There Will Be Blood, very much like Magnolia (1999), which is one of my favorite films of all time, has a consistent mood to it. Anderson creates this type of flow to a movie better than any other director. Paired with one of the great performances of the decade from Daniel Day Lewis, There Will Be Blood is compelling and subtle at the same time. After my first viewing... this film likely would not have made this list but after seeing it a second time I recognized everything it does so intentionally. At times it minipulates its audience but it never shortchanges them. Number 22... There Will be Blood.
