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.
Probably my favorite movie ever.
After this movie, I really expected to love every movie PT Anderson would ever make, that never materialized as the rest of his movies never really touched me (no pun intended) as much as this one.
Anyway, Boogie Nights has a great story, even greater characters (played by a perfect cast) and can be really funny and so sad.
The beautiful opening shot is absolutely perfect to suck you into the movie and get you to meet all the main characters.
