fast shipment, great condition. came in a very protective shipment case. It was cheap but worth as much if bought from the store, it was used but you would never be able to tell. Very very very very highly rated. I was very happy with this purchuse and would recommend it to anyone.

It's simply a classic movie, a definite must-see for the generation to which it was geared towards. Nothing like you would expect from just a preview or reading the back cover.

There are a lot of Director's Cut versions of Almost Famous on EBay which are not the extended version called the 'bootleg' cut, but the original release. In fact the packaging says nothing about 'director's' cut. I don't know where these sellers are getting their information, but it is wrong. Any time a seller is putting a DVD up for bid, they should cross reference with a movie info site like IMdB

Love the movie it was really cute!!!!!!!!!! Great story line, cast director... Just watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great movie, excellent condition, quick shipping, will buy from again. Dvd was exactly as said it was. Will tell friends about ur business.

I was amazed to see Almost Famous for sale on eBay! This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I'm very glad that I found it!

I bought the DVD and was pleased with the Fast shipping and turn around on getting my dvd. Everything was great. Fast shipping. Could not ask for any better deal.
Thank you

One of the most poignant and enjoyable films about the thriving rock music scene of the 1970's and a young writer's coming-of-age in that roller-coaster environment. This movie is really a "love letter" from writer/director Cameron Crowe (director/writer of Say Anything, Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky & screenwriter of Fast Times at Ridgemount High), to that historical period when he cut his teeth as a teenager writing for Rolling Stone magazine, making inroads with some of the biggest names in music from that period, from Joni Mitchell to Led Zeppelin to Fleetwood Mac. Names have been changed to protect the hedonistic lifestyle leading, colorful characters of great musicians and hangers on that defined the period :) Look for cameos from some of the major figured of the time like Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, 70's rock icon Peter Frampton & Eliott Roberts, long-time manager of Neil Young.
Young William Miller, Crowe's alter-ego in the film (this is a loosely biographical tale)is a promising music writer and devotee of legendary rock critic Lester Bangs, gets noticed by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine and leaves his over-protective mother to write an in-depth article for up & coming rockers, Stillwater (a composite band that will remind some of Zeppelin and the Allman Brothers) as they make their way across the country on thier first major tour. Along the way, William learns important life lessons, both good and bad, and gets his eyes opened to some of the harsh realities of life and love.
The movie features an exceptionally moving and thoughtful soundtrack of 70's gems (not the standard hits, but songs that give the movie a really emotional connection to the period) and a score by Nancy Wilson, Crowe's wife and founding member/guitarist/songwriter of 70's sister duo Heart. Exceptional performances from Kate Hudson (in a role that earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1999) as legendary groupie (or as she describes herself in the movie, "band-aid") Penny Lane, Oscar winner Frances Macdormand (Fargo) as William Miller's worried mother and Billy Crudup (MI:3, Big Fish) as the moody guitar virtuoso/budding Rock God, Russell Hammond. Also of note is the performance of young Patrick Fugit, who was only 14 at the time of filming, playing, essentially, Crowe as a young man in rock & roll circus.
Highly recommended - the "Bootleg" version is almost 40 minutes longer than the theatrical release and every extra second is a highly enjoyable one to take in. This is a great movie, not only for the Classic Rock fan, but for youngsters who want to know about a time before rock became a corporate entity and big business - told by someone who was in the thick of it.

This was probably one of the easiset buys Ive had on E-Bay.The seller was prompt acurate and courtious.My wife loved the gift I just wish she would have receieved before Christmas.but I should have ordered a little earlier huh

Great 70's spoof about a band "Sweetwater" who is on the verge of breaking through to headliner status barring all the obsticles that come with fame.
First hand account told by an ameature journalist hired to cover their rise to the cover of the "Rolling Stone". Funny with a great cast including Kate Hudson! A must see for anyone who went to concerts in the seventies, lots of "behind the stage antics" 4 of 5 Rating ****

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think this is the best role kate hudson has ever played and it was more in depth of a part than the comedy love stories she is always playing nowadays. I believe this movie is based on a true story as well.

I liked the movie when I first saw it and wanted to own it . I got a great price on Ebay and it looks and plays just like new !

It's the chance of a lifetime when teenage reporter William Miller lands an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine. Despite the objections of his protective mother, William hits the road with an up-an-coming rock band and finds there's more to write home about than the music.

Golden Globe winner, Kate Hudson does a phenominal job portraying one of the band's "groupies". I really enjoyed the nostalgic feel of this film. The movie also recieved a Golden Globe award, for Best Picture.

Cameron Crowe wrote and directed this film. 2hrs,3min. Rated R. Awesome soundtrack as well.

It's definitely a feel good movie. After about an hour I thought it was decent, but by the end I really liked it. Kate Hudson is great, so is the kid. Good movie, definitely worth watching.

Excellent seller. Item came very quickly, was at an excellent price with reasonable (and realistically priced!) shipping. Item in perfect condition with all materials.Would look for them when I shop again. An effortless pleasure

Almost Famous is one of the best movies about rock and roll of all time IMO. It has great characters that you can relate to, a nice love story and some classic scenes(i.e. the Tiny Dancer singalong).

This is honestly one of the best movies that ive ever seen! Crowe is a genious! Nancy Wilson is amazingly talented! Casting did a great job with the actors, and Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson, and Patrick Fugit are mesmerizing! This is based on director Cameron Crowe's real life story, and it is truly wonderful! I love it!

I was a kid in the 60's and 70's so i remember the music, and its influence. It was a great movie and a good example of the time and just how crazy the music world is.

This movie is a must-have for any serious music lover, movie lover or DVD collector out there! Fantastic ensemble cast, excellent story and script! It is definitely a feel-good classic! Makes you appreciate music all over again. Cameron Crowe directed this beautifully, and you forget for a little while this is a fictitious movie and not a documentary.

In short, there's no way you won't like this movie!

Almost Famous is a great story of a young rock journalist who gets his first big assignment touring with a national act. The band struggles to make it to the top, and he struggles to decide between his job, his new friends, and his over protective mother. Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson, Frances McDormand, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman give outstanding performances. The ending leaves you smiling, and a great soundtrack tops it off. This movie hits home for anyone who lives to make music... and anyone who has ever loved a band.
