God Only Knows (Love Actually and Boogie Nights)

The movies Love Actually and Boogie Nights both end with montages to the Beach Boys song "God Only Knows." I was curious what would happen if I synced them up.

Made me remember that Love Actually had one of the best montages ever. And I say that as a straight guy who hates chick flicks.

Though I am shamed to admit it, I am a straight guy who thoroughly enjoys chick flicks....must be some kind of hormonal imbalance or something lol

@TulseLuper I loved both Love Actually and Boogie Nights, but I did notice that both films, while starkly different in plot and theme, used the same ensemble format. It's like they were both inspired by Robert Altman.

Love Actually and Boogie Nights are two completely different albeit excellent movies. Comparing them beyond these two montages is absurd. Anyway, it is interesting to see a straight-up, earnest use of this song juxtaposed with a melancholic, slightly tragic use of the track.

Boogie Nights FTW! (wow, someone on this page wrote that EXACTLY as I was thinking it). the "Love Actually" ending was moving, and I only like the "Boogie Nights" one more because it went more places. That plus its the movie that left an indelible stain in my SOUL and made me want to be a filmmaker.

@XXcheckplzXX I think you just have a better understanding for human emotion and feelings. Such as caring and understanding. This probably means you'll have a better chance at a long and happy marriage.
