    Owning the house Jack lived at would be a trip to own. Imagine having all your friends over for a Boogie Nights party. Radical.

      Definitely. And considering it looks the same.

    One of my favourite films of all time. Excellent ensemble cast, great soundtrack. Brilliant cinematography - the opening shot starts across the street, pans across the road and follows Jack into the club and introduces all the main characters, and it's one long shot that lasts for nearly 3 minutes. The recreation of the era, including the difference between the 70s and the 80s, is pure nostalgia. I will never get tired of watching this film. "That's not an MP that's a YP! Your problem!!" 🤣

    As always, another outstanding job again! You had me rolling when you did the re-enactments of Dirk, putting your leg up on the railing by the steps! Ha ha! And to this day, I can’t but help to think of this movie when I hear “Sister Christian.” Those firecrackers going off too - priceless! Thanks for doing this.

    Excellent retrospective. I'm 61 and do the same thing with the many favorite movies of my past. It's easy checking things out online and then visiting the locations when in town. This was fun seeing all the locations 25 years later with the explanations of how they've changed. I really enjoyed the video. Nice work.

    The scene where Roller Girl, Jack and camera man Kurt are filming out of a limo(The Colonel's limo and driver) and run into an ex-classmate of Roller Girl is classic. The ex-classmate doesn't want to say his name, but then admits his goes to CSUN(Cal State University Northridge) cracks me up as I was attending CSUN(See Sun as it's called by locals) during the timeline in the film(1983-84). The way they kick the you know what out of that student was brutal but, somehow, satisfying(in a strange way).
    Great video, come 'em coming!

I saw X , Fear, Tina Turner when she just had her new solo album and left Ike ... all music industry people, Stray Cats, B52's ... as you can see I'm older than you but it was so cool .... seems like yesterday....... keep them coming.

    From 7:11 seconds to 7:58, that montage is the pedestrian bridge that runs parallel to Colfax Ave in Studio City, crossing the LA river just north of Ventura Blvd.
    I worked at CBS Studio Center ( on the west side of Colfax) from 1981 to 2017.
    I used to go running at lunch on the dirt access roads on the north and south sides of the river.
    Also, saw the Jazz Crusaders ( Joe Sample, Wilton Felder and Stic Hooper) at The Country Club in 1983. It was a great venue.
    I'm a few decades older that you Kurt, and a Westside boy until I bought my first house in Canoga Park in 1979, but I truly appreciate you documenting what you remember,
    what still exists,
    and what only lives in our memories.
    You keep sharing
    and I'll keep watching.
    In gratitude,
    RV
    🙏

    Kurt: You are just getting better and better at these. Some of the research, position reenactments, etc. are just exceptional. I really enjoyed this one since it is very personal. I worked behind the European Style seafood counter at that Von's on Sherman Way. If you came in for lobster in 1986-87 I probably waited on you. Crazy,right? It just reminded me of when I lived in Reseda. I saw the Jimi Hendrix movie at the Reseda Theatre. We used to shop at a JC Penney in that neighborhood. Unlike today, all the stores are right on the street for their frontage and there are these huge parking lots in back , also an alley. This was old style layout that is still there. The parking behind the Vons and what is now a 99 cent store is just huge and never full.

      A lot of it STILL looks the same, as much as what has changed since I moved out of Northridge in 2002. My parents still live in their same house in Porter Ranch that we moved to from Chicago in '79 when I was 10 years old, so I have been to the Valley numerous times since moving out, including this past week.

    omg.. Yes!! but Dupares is gone?? Super bummer. My Uncle would took me there after taking me to watch Ghostbusters in 1984. Then would take me every time my mom would drop me off in studio city with grandparents. We would rent videos from Tower Records and he would show me movies where filmed there like Valley Girl. Then we would go back so he showed that he wasn't lying. Lol a side note, hes the uncle that encouraged me to get into music and learn every instrument I could because he thought I had incredible natural ability. He was right. :) Thx again for the great video, Kurt.

    I worked as assistant manager at Rent-A-Center on Sherman Way for several months. I left to work at AMC Theatres, and was surprised to see the Rent-A-Center neon light in the scene where Eddie (Mark Wahlberg) was working as a, um, working man in the parking lot across the street, lol. I recall going to the Country Club a lot and Bebop Records (not in the film, but the outside was seen in the opening scene), and the roller-skating rink, etc. I remember the Winchell's Donuts they used in the shootout scene, and I think I remember the stereo shop location. Fast forward to the film Licorice Pizza, and Paul Anderson managed to include quite a lot of the Valley in that movie.

    Totally loved this one. Boogie Nights is one of my favorite movies and you really did a fantastic job here. I actually just rewatched the movie a couple of weeks ago and actually thought about you 80's Life. I knew you grew up in this area and figured you had some deep feelings about this one. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work man!
