Saw this in the theaters and thought it was really good. Watched a bit this weekend and forgot how many great actors are in it. Really interesting characters.
What do you think? Yay or nay?

Great movie. The scene when they go to the guys house to rob him while Sister Christian is playing is legendary.
Family show. Great way to introduce the grandkids to the birds and the bees. Let us know how it goes!
Yes
I mean, this cast…
Mark Wahlberg
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Burt Reynolds
Don Cheadle
William H Macey
John C Reilly
Robert Evans
Heather Graham
Julianne Moore
Luis Guzman
Alfred Molina
Thomas Jane
And on and on
Easily a top 25 movie of all time for me.
Yes. Made me want to jump out of my skin. The guy lighting off fire crackers.
The song, Thomas Jane coked up …
A standard line in college when people were lighting fireworks was "That's Cosmo, he's Chinese"
Heather Graham full frontal.
‘Nuff said.
‘Nuff said.
Just saw it again the other day as well, as it’s making the rounds on one of the movie channels. I actually think it’s a little overrated apart from the robbery scene, which still had me totally on edge. Paul Thomas Anderson has done better films since.

Great story from Macy about how the “ass in her cock” line made it in the final cut:
The classic mistake William H. Macy made in 'Boogie Nights'
'Boogie Nights' had plenty of great uses for William H. Macy and his perpetually put-upon Little Bill, but one classic line was the result of a mistake.

Great movie! Roller girl was my favorite.

I often picture HBOT posters as Donny in that scene. "I'm a f'ing idiot!"
I was the stunt double at the end of the movie
Dirk handled that pretty well. He could have shamed Scotty or used his karate on him. Instead, he chilled out and simply invited him back into the party.
On one hand, Scotty was bold (drunk bold) and shot his shot. On the other hand, Scotty sexually assaulted Mr. Diggler and since it was arguably a work party could have liability for the Colonel’s film operation. The Colonel is an outstanding individual and would not want to tarnish his name. Some workplace training could have prevented that.
I always thought it made good business sense to have gheys on crew behind the camera. Not sure how a straight dude could hold the boom mic that long with a raging boner.
That is all fine and dandy, but it gave him some credentials in L.A.
I’m sure God is cool with Boogie Nights but Wahlberg should definitely ask forgiveness for Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
And created prior to 1957. So no great movies in the last 66 years. JFC
It’s a yay no question. It’s one of those movies that has achieved iconic status imo. The cast, the plot, it all just worked so well. Pacing is great. It’s a fantastic film.
Top 5 movie of all time for me.
It’s a very good movie and I say that as a pure Mark Wahlberg hater, I can’t stand the guy or his acting.
ROLLER GIRL! NUF SAID!!!
one of the greatest movies ever made
The firecracker/robbery sequence was brilliant.
The stress level and nerves were high for the situation....they were going to rob the place and BAM! Firecrackers took the stress even higher....even for the viewers.
First time anyone sees that sequence they are on the edge of their seat.

Yup, 14 year old me had a crush on her from License to Drive, so seeing this 9 years later was nice
The 10 second or so stare that marky-mark does basically contemplating WTF have I done with my life…perfection.
