Drama
Set in 1977, back when sex was safe, pleasure was a business and business was booming, idealistic porn producer Jack Horner aspires to elevate his craft to an art form. Horner discovers Eddie Adams, a hot young talent working as a busboy in a nightclub, and welcomes him into the extended family of movie-makers, misfits and hangers-on that are always around. Adams' rise from nobody to a celebrity adult entertainer is meteoric, and soon the whole world seems to know his porn alter ego, "Dirk Diggler". Now, when disco and drugs are in vogue, fashion is in flux and the party never seems to stop, Adams' dreams of turning sex into stardom are about to collide with cold, hard reality.

Boogie Nights was fantastic. Beginning with an incredibly virtuosic opening oner, the interweaving storylines that follow are all interesting and well-told. It has a great ensemble cast to flesh out the engaging characters, with particularly good performances by Wahlberg and PSH, while an amazing soundtrack adds to the atmosphere of the 70s and 80s. It's incredible PTA managed to pull off a movie with such sweep with just his second feature.

Great period piece, great setting and soundtrack. Only kind of a bit aimless though. It seems to me like Paul Thomas Anderson was more concerned to make a movie about a favorite topic than to tell a story. There are no arcs, characters face consequences for their actions somewhat arbitrarily and the ending is a somewhat an undeserved happy ending. Great cast, even though Mark Whalberg has awful screen presence and is about as charismatic as a rubber boot. A good watch, but nothing exactly groundbreaking

I saw this film in a packed theater in Norman, Oklahoma and during the final scene when we got to see it, an old lady in the crowd blurted out, "OH GOOD LORD!" and broke the tension of the three hour moviel with uproarious laughter from that moment until well into the credits. The old lady was so embarrassed, but the audience literally gave her a standing ovation as she tried to sneak out. Made the movie for everyone and to this day, I mimic her whenever that scene is on.

Holy shit. So, i found myself in a hotel room bored one night. Not knowing what channels were associated to what network, I found myself flipping through the low 20s when i came across a particular scene. It wasn't any specific events that were occurring within the scene that were particular More

Yikes, but was there fuss around this when it was released? A film about porn, yes, but a film about men in porn - and with the ribbed and toned "Marky Mark" too! What will we see? What will he show? I remember the general interest in this hitherto rather unsavoury topic was insatiable. Well, what w More
