About this product

Product Information

Cameron Crowe's career trajectory reads like a true Hollywood story--he started out as a 15-year-old writing for Rolling Stone magazine and eventually ended up writing, directing, and acting in movies. His poignant writing style reflects the nostalgia and humor of an era, with bits of pop culture and musical history and trivia woven in. This has proven to be a highly successful formula, as in the 1989 emo love story SAY ANYTHING, and the '90s grunge rocker hit SINGLES. Crowe's ALMOST FAMOUS is a semiautobiographical account that tells the story of a teen journalist, William Miller (Patrick Fugit), who goes on the road with an up-and-coming rock band called Stillwater. Though Miller's mentor, legendary rock critic Lester Bangs (portrayed with humor and heart by Philip Seymour Hoffman), cautions him not to befriend the musicians, Miller takes it a step further and befriends both the band and the Band-Aids--the girls who hang around with the band because they love the music. Miller is in for a wild ride around the country, to thrilling concerts and debauched backyard parties, living the life many 15-year olds dream about. He discovers that beneath the glittery façade of rock stardom are sometimes bittersweet life lessons and mild doses of heartbreak. More impacting are the friendships he finds with his glamorous travel companions. Newcomer Fugit is the perfect William Miller: baby-faced, slightly gawky, and an awestruck observer. Kate Hudson sparkles as Penny Lane, the leader of the Band-Aids, and Frances McDormand delivers a stellar performance as Elaine, Miller's protective and mildly paranoid mother. In the tradition of SAY ANYTHING and JERRY MAGUIRE, Crowe's coming-of-age tale is intelligent, well-written, and memorable.

What a great movie, and a better DVD set!
I am a big fan of Almost Famous, the semi-autobiographical movie by director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Say Anything). In fact, I think it is by far his best movie to date. The movie follows William on the road as he reports on Stillwater, an up and coming rock and roll band. The catch here is that William's still in high school, and he's learning about a lot of things his mother would rather see him not. (In fact, she's so "square" that she thinks Simon and Garfunkel are really out there!) Aside from all the great scenes, including the tour bus collectively singing Elton John's "Tiny Dancer", the great thing about this set in particular is the extra discs. One is a CD of Stillwater's songs from the movie, and the second is a disc that includes commentary by Cameron Crowe and his mom. I love the dialogue these two have together...in fact, Crowe included several family "heirlooms" including wall hangings and clothing from his own childhood. When he and his mom point out these things and discuss them, it's a delight. I almost enjoy watching it more than the original theatrical version! This is a must for any rock fan, and any fan of new movie classics. I put this in my top twenty all-time favorite movies.Read full review

The extra footage makes love this film even more!
Many "Special Editions" of films are just repackages with deleted scenes that never belonged there in the first place. Almost Famous,The Bootleg Edition is different. The nearly 30 minutes of extra footage furthers the story of William Miller and Penny Lane. There are other great deleted scenes including a birthday party for Penny Lane and a funny interview scene involving a stoned out Kyle Gass (Tenacious D). The added footage fleshes out the whole film nicely and should have been in the theatrical release. Other gooies include a Nancy Wilson song video including video home movies from the film and an interview with the real life Lester Bangs editor of Cream. Plus Cameron Crowe's favorite albums of 1973. If you love the film, you need this DVD.

Insightful look into the lives of rock stars!
Super sharp extra deluxe edition of a really great movie. Just caught it recently and wondered why I haven't seen it up till now. There are some great scenes with the rock icons of our time relating to a 16 year old and constantly asking the kid for life advice. The band members are chilren being led around by a really smart insightful kid. Not a family movie yet very touching. Also, if you have to own this movie make sure you get this loaded version and not the lame 1 disc set. This is a 2 DVD set with a CD also, what a bargain. Cameron Crowe rocks!

If you love director cuts you’ll love this
I bought this cause it’s a great directors cut of the film. It was worth it to me but may not be to a lot of people. I love film and I think their directors cut enhanced the story. A lot do not and are money grabs. But this was one that was worth it.

Almost Famous Directors Cut: must own for fans of film
For an Almost Famous fan, this DVD is essential for your collection. It has the extended version, the original version, a Stillwater CD, and many special features that are not on the original DVD version of the film. Also, it is fun to look for the Easter eggs that Cameron Crowe placed on the DVDs. Anyone who likes Almost Famous will enjoy this DVD set a lot and will not be disappointed. It is also out of print, so the supply is limited.
