I love films which are about or reference classic rock. This couldn't be any more perfect!

Sabbath, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones. To name just a few but ALL SUCH GREAT BANDS! I didn't expect "Simple Man" to provoke even greater feelings from me than it already does, but it's use in this film did!

Cameron Crowe is a God! I'm so in love with this film right now!

It's just dawned on me that it's Jason Lee in this! I Love My Name is Earl and his character in Kevin Smith's films. This is so great.
Spinal Tap must have seen this and thought "Ah shit, our film sucks now..."

And then I find out Mike McCready of Fucking Pearl Jam is the one playing the guitar tracks for the band in this?! This film has everything a fan of classic rock could ask for!

"Rock stars have kidnapped my son!"

A perfect mix of great acting, sharp dialogue, and fantastic music leads to a film that I never tire of seeing.

Cameron Crowe has created some spectacular female characters; he has special luck working with blondes. But the character of Penny Lane is as magical as any that he's ever done and one of the most attractive and likable women in all the cinema. Well, desirable might be a better word. (Haha, some credit might go to Kate Hudson, too.)

Special notice goes to Phil Hoffman and Francis McDormand, who steal every scene. But the rest of the cast are spectacular as well.

Every time I see this movie I fall for it in a new way. Not every Crowe film quite makes it, but when he gets it right he really gets it right. The performances are stellar, the soundtrack is perfect for any music lover worth a damn and the dialogue is infinitely quotable. Most of all, it's brimming with genuine emotion and a surprising degree of maturity. Feck it's good. It's all happening. I am a golden god. Etc.

For some reason I felt like revisiting this. I should also mention that I've been selling my record collection on ebay, but after watching Almost Famous again, it is so fucking hard for me to part with a lot of these albums. Fuck you, nostalgia! You torture me!

Full of cinematic rarities and booming with loud music, thrillingly authentic spotlight-cast images of a plethora of idols take shape as Cameron Crowe's entirely engaging memoir collects the magical atmosphere of the cool and the uncool and creates something entirely new and alive. Wonderful performances from Patrick Fugit, Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson and Phillip Seymour Hoffman only intensify the high you get from this funny, moving, forget-yourself-from-frame-one piece of film gold.

interesting, diverse cast. I really liked a lot of the performances but I was expecting a lot more from this movie. The more I think about it, I'm getting pissed off with this film.

This movie was so funny, charming and entertaining. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Frances McDormand were reliably amazing in it and Kate Hudson was just terrific. The picture's a complete hoot and I feel like it would be impossible for someone not to love it.

I was rather stoked to watch this due to excessive blogging about outfits inspired by its style and general themes of sex, drugs, rock and roll with a casually cooler misfit leading the whole thing. Seemed like exactly my type of movie, the kid was even in Wristcutters: A Love Story so like hello, should be excellence! I didn't hate it but wasn't enamored either, I just sort of watched it and moved on with my life, completely unmoved. But still, it was an alright way to waste time.

Listed in so many "Top 10 of All Time" lists and notably being the most beloved film to many more, I finally came round to seeing what made this film so iconic. Not only does it resonate with feel-good warmth and humour, but it also has a stellar soundtrack and a great story.

Patrick Fugit gives a great lead performance and Kate Hudson is in one of her finest roles as the utterly mesmerizing Penny Lane. But the entire cast gives off a naturally great chemistry that in the end, made me feel like I was one of the crew.

I now understand why this is at the top of so many Top 10 favourite lists and it'll will certainly be one of my "Most Watched" list.

The plot in this movie left me feeling uneasy. A few of the characters are interesting, but I cannot determine the reason for all of the hype surrounding this film.

Excelent film. This movie is the best that I saw. Soundtrack is very fuckin' extraordinary!
