‘Almost Famous’ (2000)

Cameron Crowe‘s early career as a music journalist has yielded several wonderful soundtracks ("Say Anything" and "Jerry Maguire") and this autobiographical labor-of-love movie. The late-’60s/early-’70s rock tracks collected here (along with two ringers by the movie’s fictional band, Stillwater) seem pulled directly from Crowe’s subconscious and add up to an aural valentine of how it felt to be a music fan in 1973. So sing along to "Tiny Dancer."
