I saw this movie in 1999 and liked it, but it didn't resonate for me at that moment in my life. 15 years later I rediscovered it... my Mom had just died from lupus, and watching this movie became my way of coping, of processing the pain, the anger, of dealing with how lost I felt. Every second of this (very long) movie speaks some truth. It is harsh sometimes, it is beautiful, it is ridiculous, it is hopeful, it is full of random, pointless circumstance, it is full of divine spirituality, it shows human frailty and strength. Thank you PT Anderson for creating this profound art that can reach people who are in pain. And thank you Aimee Mann for this song.

The surreal "coincidence" of all these interconnected characters singing the same song at the same time, it made me tear up in 1999, and it rips me apart in 2015. After going through so many personal highs and lows since first seeing the film, there's so much more in it that I can identify with than I did then. I thought the raining frogs was so peculiar back then, but it fits perfectly with the story as I experience it again. This is PTA's masterpiece. Thank God Boogie Nights did so well that he was given the freedom to make this happen, on his terms.

That's what makes this movie so unforgettable and timeless. Anyone can identify with the struggles the characters are going through and can relate them to their own life. And then when the years pass you by and you've experienced all of life's ups and downs, heartbreaks and heartaches, the good, the bad and ugly and everything in between, you can still come back to this movie and feel like you are not alone and your hardships and struggles are universal.

I watched this film 20 years ago with two great friends as we travelled the US (we're English). We'd been drinking, causing chaos everywhere we went, having the time of our young lives. One rainy day we decided we needed a break so just sat in our hotel room and watched whatever was on, which happened to be Magnolia. And it was truly a special few hours, for all of us. I think we needed to be reminded of what we were running from, speeding towards, and experiencing along the way. Life is shorter than we'd like, but try telling that to the young and you'll be laughed at. 20+ years later and we're at different places in our lives, but still good friends. I saw on of them this very evening. I feel immensely lucky for that. This movie is like a Hundred Years of Solitude, or some other great works of humanity I cannot be bothered to recall. Foolish, hilarious, insane, full of hope and wonder and mad coincidence. Joyful and melancholy. Like humanity.

Going through life feeling like this, knowing that it never truly subsides. regret and doubt lurks around the corner of every decision or thought. It does not matter how far you've gone and how old you are now. some moments are set to make you feel so goddamn low, as if to prove the universality of suffering, ensuring that deep down you know: no one is immune to it, no can can escape it. This film grew on me for its honesty in confronting this fearsome reality. If you see a point in what I wrote, then I also recommend the films "In the mood for love" and "Y tu mama tambien". And please don't forget - sadness and happiness come from the same things.

My favourite film of all time. I went to see it on my own then with my now wife a couple of days after. I hadn’t noticed all the profanity when I’d seen it on my own! But when I took her, I squirmed in my seat at it all and wondered what she would make of me taking her to see a film like that, but she forgave me and we’ve been married 20 years. I put it down to us seeing this film together. Brilliant film. If you haven’t seen it, do so. It could change your life.

I detest lending mates my DVD of this film. 90% of the time it is handed back either half-watched ("I couldn't get my head round it & got bored") or with blank faces ("Why did it rain like that at the end?"). When it's been returned with positivity, awe & a request to borrow the CD soundtrack, I feel elated at not being alone in thinking this is a stunning achievement of a movie.

That is a great way to put it - this movie resonates. It has all the elements - the good, the bad, and the ugly, with the rich and beautiful as well as the poor and plain. The film is a collage, a smorgasbord, a tapestry of life that includes all the kinds and places of people that make our life what it is. It is all glued together by Aimee Mann's music.

I inevitably tear up when Stanley sings "so just give up". That has you realize that everybody in this scene is in real pain and are, in fact, about to give up. Makes you want to jump into the screen and give them all a big hug, especially Stanley.

I remember watching Magnolia for the first time at the movies. It was late Fall of 1999. I was on a date with a girl I met as she was shopping at the supermarket where I worked. We were making out for a good portion of the film, and when this scene came on, we took a break and stared in awe at what was going on, and that song was just spellbinding. That's how powerful this scene was. I rewatched Magnolia not too long after and realized what an amazing movie it was as a whole. It is arguably Paul Thomas Anderson's greatest achievement as a filmmaker. Tom Cruise deserved to win the Oscar for his performance but was robbed. The scene where he fights back tears as he is sitting next to his dying estranged father gets me all the time.

Oh, come on. "never make a better movie". He also made "There WIll Be Blood" in 2007. It's not the same kind of movie, I know, but Boogie Nights was also not this kind of movie. Each of those three is a masterpiece.

Magnolia is one of my favorite films -- and I've seen plenty (I tell people that I was a film major in college, which is why I've spent my life in retail...). When I first saw Magnolia, I liked it, but it was the second viewing a couple months later that made me love it. It is a powerful film about pain and isolation, and eventually, finding community and love. At almost 3 hours, every time I've watched it (probably a couple dozen times by now) time flies. This scene always chokes me up...

I think its because Tom's a bona fide douche and normally his roles glorify this ilk of people by portraying them as one dimensional action heroes who save the day and win the girl. Whereas Magnolia offers more in depth character studies into what could've turned these people into who they are now or at least who they pretend to be. They are neither villains nor heroes, just humans who are invariably flawed.

I saw this film like 10 years ago when i was 11 and i found it amazing, but a few weeks ago I re-watched it again and fuck... It was other experience. Seeing the movie now that i grew up and being more mature, the little details, the psychology of the characters, the way that the film is written, it really hit me hard but, in a joyful way... This is the type of movies that inspire me to be a filmmaker one day :) Thank You Paul.
