Rescue Dawn as well. But the prestige isn't a movie that I can watch all the time like goodfellas or anything but I just think is performance is great. But nah I haven't seen too much of PTA. I should probably check out some of his stuff. I'm really looking forward to that movie.
You should watch them all including his debut
Hard Eight, which is probably his weakest but he was only 25 when he made it. As well as his two short films
The Dirk Diggler Story, which is the short film
Boogie Nights is based on which he made when he was 18. And Ciggarettes and Coffe which is the basis for
Hard Eight.
PTA didn't actually attend film school, he taught himself how to make movies by reading film magazines and started making movies when he was 12 from a camera his dad bought him. He later managed to become an assistant on a number of movie sets including for Robert Altman, before making his short movies with money that was supposed to be for college.
