Boogie Nights (8-Oct-1997)

Director: Paul Thomas Anderson

Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson

Music by: Michael Penn

Producers: Lloyd Levin; John Lyons; Paul Thomas Anderson; Joanne Sellar

Keywords: Drama, Porno Industry, Prostitution, Disco, Coming of Age, Roller Skating, Cocaine, Gay Bashing, Los Angeles

Dirk Diggler and his 13-inch penis form an unbeatable combination in the late 1970s and early 1980s porn industry of Los Angeles. Towards the end, things get a bit out of control. Burt Reynolds is an inspired choice to play an adult film director, for which he received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination; Julianne Moore received a Best Supporting Actress nomination, and Paul Thomas Anderson nomination for Best Screenplay. Brilliant film.
