Boogie Nights

Boogie Nights

1997

By turns touching and shocking, Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights is ultimately an intimate drama about an unlikely family whose patriarch (Burt Reynolds) produces hardcore pornography. Set in porn's golden age -- the '70s -- Boogie Nights stars Mark Wahlberg as young stud Dirk Diggler and Julianne Moore as vulnerable star/earth mother Amber Waves.

In 1977, sex was safe, pleasure was a business, and business was booming.
