Dirk Diggler and his 13-inch penis form an unbeatable combination in the late 1970s and early 1980s porn industry of Los Angeles. Towards the end, things get a bit out of control. Burt Reynolds is an inspired choice to play an adult film director, for which he received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination; Julianne Moore received a Best Supporting Actress nomination, and Paul Thomas Anderson nomination for Best Screenplay. Brilliant film.
