#3 Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe



In Almost Famous we see coming of age master Cameron Crowe at the tip-top of his game. We are presented with perhaps an unfamiliar story of a boy beyond his years touring the country with a band as a journalist, but for how unfamiliar that concept might be the concept of growing up is one we all know and we also all know the pains, frustration, and heartbreak that comes with it. If I had to rank my top performances by an actress Kate Hudson's performance in this would rank pretty darn close to number 1, if she wasn't supported by such a tremendous cast she would've downright stolen the show, but as it turns out there are many distinctly wondrous turns in this enthralling, engaging, and all together wonderful coming-of-age tale.
