The porn industry during the 70s and 80s as seen through the eyes of young man (Wahlberg) who enters the business as shy Eddie Adams and rises and falls from grace as pornstar Dirk Diggler. Features wonderful supporting performances especially from Moore and Reynolds as the surrogate mother and father of this extended porn-making family.

Directed By Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring John C. Reilly, Philip Baker Hall, Samuel L. Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow & Philip Seymour Hoffman

A young man (Reilly) is taken under the wing of a gambling pro (Hall) and also falls for a hooker (Paltrow). Wonderfully layered character study; also known under an alternate title, "Sydney".

Directed By Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring John C. Reilly, Tom Cruise, Julianne Moore, Jason Robards, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Melora Walters & Jeremy Blackman

Sprawling story set in the San Fernando valley about several interconnected characters who meet with chance, faith, & redemption. Set to a powerful score by Aimee Mann & Jon Brion. The stand outs here are Moore as the drug-addicted, unfaithful wife of TV producer Robards; and Cruise, Robards' estranged self-help guru son.
