I love this movie
seeing this film in 5th grade is what really got me into Rock music
i listened to so much Led Zeppelin after i saw it.
Cameron Crow is a genious and that scene on the bus with "Tiny Dancer' playing had to be one of the best scenes ive ever seen in a film.
i wanted to be a Rock writer for soo long after i saw this movie.

my 2nd favorite movie of all time. i could go on for hours about everything i love about it. i'd recommend it to ANYONE, but especially users of this site (i assume most people here love music).

It would of been so much better without Kate Hudson. Her hippie dancing and shit got on my nerves. Other than that, it was an excellent film.

By the way, its a mix between the Who, The Allman Brothers, and The Eagles.

i don't think you're gonna find many people who share that opinion. she was the heart and soul of that film. without her, it's a totally different movie.

Love Love Love this movie.

They did an 'Almost Famous' moment on Entourage a couple of episodes back.. the standing on the roof - I'M ON DRUGS!!, other than the Tiny Dancer scene, it has to be my favourite, I laugh everytime.
