"Boogie Nights" - anyone else love this flick? |
|
Just bought the SE DVD this weekend and damn I love this movie!
About a subject I love (porn) and acted well, funny in many parts and a dry wit behind the whole flick. Great music and film buffs will note that it pays homage to a lot of other directors.

It didn't get near the credit it deserved. I also liked Magnolia as well. Wasn't super nuts about Punch Drunk Love though.

4. It's actually the only P.T. Anderson film i haven't seen. |
|
I really need to, because Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love were both amazing.

8. I really liked it a lot |
|
I thought Mark Wahlberg and Heather Graham were particularly good in it. I liked the first half of it best, I suppose.

9. "I'm the star! It's my big dick!" |

Yep, it's a great one. I hear Marky Mark kept the prosthetic ... um ... member that he wore in that film and has it on display in his home.

14. I don't usually go for the dark side of comedy, but I thought |
|
it was great. Everytime the guy would say, "have you seen my wife?" I know I'm not supposed to think that's funny, but I did. I also loved the van with the rainbow stripes and the little round window! I remember when those things were popular. I am a sick, sick person.
BTW - thanks!

15. "It's a real movie, Jack." |
|
I don't know why that line always sticks in my mind as the most important line in the script, but it does.

Other than that - great pic

28. Yes, think of all the 'drug connection' scenes you've ever seen... |
|
...and tell me that one wasn't the most fraught with tension of all of them.

But you, taverner, knew I would.
It's one of three PT Anderson movies I love to the point of purchasing: Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and Hard Eight.
I think he's lost it now, though. Punch Drunk Love was shite.

29. I've never seen Don Cheadle give any less than a great performance. |

Boogie Nights was no exception.
I wish that I had Jesse's girl!
