30 Day Film Challenge Day 8: The Film You Can Quote Best
I hate to do it because I already used Boogie Nights
once, but the simple truth is that I know this film inside and out, and on a good day I can quote Philip Baker Hall's awesome monologue here verbatim. While this one bit alone is about as quotable as it gets("butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth"), there are a number of perfect little lines sprinkled throughout: The Colonel's snide "Oh you think so, doctor?" after a girl overdoses at the party; or Dirk Diggler's nonsensical Napoleon rant "People were constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire"; or Reed Rothchild comparing himself to Han Solo. Paul Thomas Anderson's script is just brilliant and memorable.
