Directed by P.T. Anderson, rated R, 155 minutes
Boogie Nights is a hysterically funny but desperately sad epic film about the rise and fall of a high school dropout who enters the porn industry in the 70's and begins making the best films around. The simply incredible cast, including Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, John C. Reilly, Heather Graham, Don Cheadle, Philip Seymour Hoffman and William H. Macy, creates innumerable memorable characters. The story is brilliantly written, as you follow this young man's incredible story in the decadent and bizarre world of L.A. in the 70's and 80's. Boogie Nights is a visually masterful film filled with deeply interesting characters, hilarious dialogue and honestly depressing twists and turns. You'll like it if: You like movies following the rise and fall of someone, movies with huge casts, movies set in the 70's, Magnolia, Goodfellas or American Beauty.
