Close your eyes and the films of Paul Thomas Anderson will come back to you with a visceral force—the ill-fated visit to the drug dealer’s house in Boogie Nights… the ocean of oil cascading from the derrick in There Will Be Blood… the troubled emotional momentum of The Master… these are some of the great visionary passages in modern movies. Anderson will select clips from and discuss the films that have inspired and excited him.

These 15 films, so vastly different in outlook and method and tone, represent the best in documentary filmmaking today.
