Also, to reply directly to OP's choice of boogie nights, that was another one that didn't click for me. I think in my case, that tends to happen with movies that are more character studies or character-driven rather than something with a more traditional plot. If I'm not aware of that going in I end up focusing more on where I think the story is going rather than how the characters are reacting and evolving. And once I make it to the end of the movie and realize the plot wasn't particularly important, I just end up getting confused.

Boogie nights just has so many characters and stories that it’s hard to keep up with the first time. But it feels so good on repeated viewings. I don’t thinks there’s a film that can make me experience a wider range of emotions than boogie nights.

I didn’t like Boogey Nights and I tried hard to like it because a buddy of mine worked on the film and was promoting it.
