For me it is "One battle after another". That movie was in my opinion peak cinema, absolute masterpiece/art. The movie basically reminded me why i love the cinema in the first place/it brought my love to it back. The Chase scene/sequence at the end is in my opinion better than all fast and furious movies combined, and that scene is basically 3 cars really away from each other in a desert. character of Sean Penn is amazing. Leo played a role really not associated with him, and still did it in an amazing way, also sequence from Leo escaping to him getting into prison was better than Many mission impossible sequences. The Soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood(member of Radiohead) was amazing, the song picks were amazing too. The movie is meaningful, and it's meaning also really suits current time. And I also think Chase Infiniti is going to be a future movie star
The movie getting the Oscar would also highlight other accomplishments of PTA, he has been making movies for 30 years, and an amazing ones, more than 10 nominations but still no award
