US, 1996, Dir: Paul Thomas Anderson, 1 hr 36 mins, with Phillip Baker Hall, Gwyneth Paltrow, John C Reilly

Long out of print, superstar director Paul Thomas Anderson's big screen debut is finally re-released and offers clear proof that the revered director was already a master of his craft in his mid-20s. John, a half-bright loser stranded in Reno, is down to his last few bucks when Sydney, taking pity on him, offers a few tips on making money in the casinos. They have a great run in Reno… until John hooks up with Clementine, a part-time prostitute and Jimmy, a slick casino insider. Now, a bungled ransom scheme threatens to turn all of their lives upside down.

"Hall is is nothing short of mesmerizing." - Variety
