Magnolia

Even though I was paying half-attention, it was just mesmorizing to watch. Something about this movie kept me wanting to know what happens next. And the story isn't overly dramatic or trying to suck people in - it's people living like they live. Every character is going through a day in their life, but it's interesting. It's really interesting. 

The intro is pretty amazing. The story about things that happen really help set the tone. 

What I also like was these semi-random scenes that add to the plot. Such as the beginning with sex, or the scene with Phillip Seymour Hoffman staring at the screen with his mouth open. It also has little mysteries like why that guy wanted braces. It didn't have super-punchy dialog like Tarentino's movies, but it had incidents that were just cool. 

At the end, frogs fall out of the sky. This random moment causes everybody to re-evaluate their life. How fuckin' neat.
