20 DVD Commentaries You Need To Hear Before You Die
19. Boogie Nights
Participant(s): Paul Thomas Anderson The full cast commentary certainly brings with it a copious amount of laughs but if you want to know more about the 1997 porno-themed drama youre better off sticking with Paul Thomas Andersons solo effort. The enthusiastic director certainly is a big advocate of the DVD/Blu-ray commentary format, opening his own effort by explaining youre listening to a guy who learned a lot about ripping off movies from watching laserdiscs with director commentary. In the companion to the film following Mark Wahlberg characters rise and fall through the pornographic industry, the director breaks down specific shots and provides several memorable anecdotes about the films production. For everyone who was left wondering (or worrying) after the end of the film, thats not Dirk Digglers real member; yeah, thats a big ol fake dick on Mark Wahlberg, but we like it.
