Almost Famous (2000) is a music movie that gets the music right. How could it not when writer/director Cameron Crowe spent his adolescence touring with rock bands and writing about them for Rolling Stone?
He channels those experiences into the story of William Miller, a young aspiring journalist who learns some hard lessons while hitting the road with Stillwater, a 70s band based on the Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and others.
