Boogie Nights
"I'm a star. I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a star. I am a big bright shining star. Yeah, that's right."
This is the first Paul Thomas Anderson film I've ever watched, and boy is he masterful. Boogie Nights gives you the dirty truth without telling you how to think about the truth. It's brightness. It's darkness. It's ambiguity. It's human life. Absolutely wonderful.
