I was able to use the price-match option on this, making the cost even fairer. And it showed up ahead of time. As for the film, I'm a huge fan of director Paul Thomas Anderson and, like his other works, this one shows his mastery of cinematic storytelling and technique, though its content isn't for everyone!

This movie was fun to watch in the theaters when it originally came out and it's even more fun to watch now on Bluray in your own home. Mark Wahlberg is great as Dirk Diggler. The rest of the cast is awesome. It was enjoyable from the beginning right up to the end with the eye opening climactic scene right before the credits roll.

Boogie nights gives great insight into the excess, that was the seedier movie industry in the early days of the 70's. Tracked through the main characters trials and tribulations (Dirk Diggler), from a nobody - to superstar - to less than nothing (by his own doing). The clothes, hairstyles, talk, behavior, music, and excess of the 70's are captured beautifully. The acting is top notch, and the no holds barred, subject matter makes this movie so compelling. It's NOT glamourous.. it was the reality of those days.

This movie is a must have for Burt Reynolds and Mark Wahlberg fans! Both do an amazing job acting. And let me say that Don Cheadle playing the Black cowboy is absolutely hilarious!!

This movie follows the personal lives of quite a few individuals who also happen to be part of the LA adult movie making scene of the 1970's. The music and wardrobe accurately depict the time. An interesting and fun movie.
