Alright, so the other day I got this wild hair to track down where they shot “Boogie Nights.” I mean, it’s a classic, right? And I’ve always been curious about those San Fernando Valley locations. So, I dove in.
The Hunt Begins
First, I fired up my trusty laptop and hit the internet. I figured there had to be some movie buff sites out there that would have this info. I started with a basic search, something like “‘Boogie Nights’ filming locations.”
I found a couple of promising-looking websites. Some were dedicated to movie locations in general, and others were specific to “Boogie Nights” or Paul Thomas Anderson films.
Digging Deeper
I started clicking through the sites. Some were kind of a mess, with pop-ups and weird layouts, but I kept at it. Eventually, I found a few that seemed legit. They had lists of addresses and even some photos of the locations.
I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down the addresses. I figured I’d map them out later and maybe even plan a little driving tour, you know, for fun.
Mapping it Out
Once I had a decent list, I opened up a map app, that big G one. I started plugging in the addresses one by one. It was pretty cool to see them all pop up on the map, mostly clustered around the Valley, just like I thought.
I noticed a few key spots that I definitely wanted to check out. Like, that house where they filmed a lot of the party scenes and the car dealership. These are the ones I want to check.
- Reseda, CA– A key area.
- The car dealership– Need to pin that one down.
Mission Accomplished (Almost)
So, yeah, that’s pretty much how I spent my afternoon. It was a fun little project, and now I’ve got this cool list of “Boogie Nights” locations. Now all that is check them out!
