Boogie Nights

Mark Wahlberg stars in this drama written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

In the 1970s disco era, 17-year-old high school dropout Eddie Adams (Wahlberg) is working in a nightclub in California and looking for a break when he is spotted by veteran adult film director Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds).

Horner invites Eddie to stay at his lavish home in the San Fernando Valley, rechristens him Dirk Diggler and makes him a star of adult cinema.

Eddie enjoys a hedonistic lifestyle on the strength of his newfound fame but by the 1980s his popularity is on the wane as video takes over from film and the porn industry grows darker.

The cast also includes Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle and John C.

Reilly.
