While IMDB lists Magnolia as their #120 movie of all time, you'll notice in my personal list that it occupies the top
spot. Too bad it came out the same year as so many other brilliant movies like American Beauty, Being John Malkovich,
American Psycho, Three Kings, The Thin Red Line, or maybe it would have gotten more awards.

magnolia is a mosaic of American life woven through a series of comic and poignant vignettes. Through a collusion
of coincidence, chance, human action, shared media, past history and divine intervention, nine people will weave and warp
through eazch other's lives on a day that builds to an unforgettable climax. Some will seek forgiveness, others escape.
Some will mend frayed bonds, others will be exposed.
