What a brilliant movie. I like Magnet and Steel by W. Egan.

Spot on article.
The music really is a another character in this script.

My favorite scene has Dirk cannonballing into the pool, in slo-mo, while Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy" is ending. Amber watches him from behind the glass door. "Lonely Boy" fades out, and the next song (something mellow, I don't know the name) begins, just as if it were the next song on the vinyl. My description isn't doing it justice, but everything about that scene is mesmerizing, but PTA's use of music was especially brilliant.

"You're Nobody's Fool!" Somehow that song got on my ipod without me knowing it. Shuffle can be evil sometimes.

So many great music cues in one of the greatest films of the last 10-15 years. There's not a bad song on either soundtrack album. And some gems that didn't make the cut too (Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy"). Among the deleted scenes: a great sequence cut to Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk", pure genius.

That's probably why they put it first on the soundtrack album.

The best song in the movie is the one Diggler sings.

Both magnificent scenes. As I mentioned, this won't be the last time I write about Boogie Nights.

Add to that Phillip Baker Hall's entrance to Sniff 'N The Tears' "Driver's Seat" and Alfred Molina's slow freight freakout with Wahlberg's thousand yard stare at the abyss to "Sister Christian"...

I was blown away- blown away- when Anderson featured the Move's "Feel Too Good" in a key scene late in the film. The Move!I can understand "Spill the Wine", an FM radio staple for years, but nobody much has even heard of (in the US, anyway) let alone cares about them these days.
