Paul Thomas Anderson lays bare the glitzy and gritty details of LA's other industry in 1997's Boogie Nights. Anderson's breakthrough film follows well-endowed sensation Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) on a standard star-is-born trajectory. A primo cast rounds out the narrative, including a nurturing Julianne Moore and a majestic Burt Reynolds. From the disco, drugs, and pornography of the '70s to the comedown of the '80s, Anderson calibrates the industry's decadence with an unexpected tenderness. This was the ambitious director's first, and commendable, stab at the Great American Film.
