my favorite movie. my favorite screenplay. if you have never seen this movie, watch it, it will change your life. especially if you're a music lover (of the classic rock/70s variety)!!

reread (06/19/18): decided to reread this because i haven't watched my movie (and yes i call it my movie because its my favorite movie of all time) in a while and was feeling very sick yesterday and needed to take my mind off of it. anyways, 3 years later from the first time i read the screenplay and saw this movie, just having graduated college still figuring out what i want to do, and this screenplay/movie still holds up for me. cameron crowe conveys a feeling from a time i didn't experience myself so well and its just a piece of art that gains more meaning everytime i visit it whether by page or by the tv screen. again, if you haven't watched the movie, i'd suggest doing so.. but the extended directors' cut is the version to get!

A good read with some great moments: singing Buddy Holly during plane trouble is priceless. Being one of the 'smart kids' I can identify with the protagonist. Enjoyable if you like the subject matter, but forgettable in the grand scheme of things.

The movie soundtrack carries you effortlessly through the script as it does the movie.

I was so obsessed with Almost Famous that I bought and devoured the screenplay, which, as you might imagine, didn't add a whole lot to the experience.
