#6 Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe



This coming of age tale is one of my favorites for its sheer amount of heart. With me a movie with a lot of heart can go a long way and it just helps that it is also jampacked with great music, Kate Hudson, and the age old road movie formula. Crowe wrote this film as his swan song to great filmmaking for the time being as he followed it up with the ambitious though confused Vanilla Sky and the sappy Garden State-wannabe Elizabethtown. Almost Famous is a movie that can reach people on all kinds of levels and it wasn't until the 6th time I saw it that it became a favorite, but from here on out I don't think I could ever lose my love for it.
