Boogie Nights (1997)
Inspired by his childhood in the San Fernando Valley, Boogie Nights takes place during the '70s and '80s, the burgeoning years of the porn industry. Anderson first started working with the themes he would develop in Boogie Nights in an early short film, The Dirk Diggler Story. Although he chronicles an era through the eyes of porn stars, it's the characters, their relationships, and the family they form that are at the center of the story.
