![]() Almost Famous [Extended Edition] [Blu-ray] [2000] $40.99 The "extended" version of Almost Famous also known as Untitled is one of the best films of the past decade. I had considered ordering it directly from the UK site but chose against it fearing I would not get a Region A compatible disc. My only two regrets are a)insufficient extras. The ideal disc would have had EVERYTHING from the 2 DVD set including Cameron's commentary,the Stairway scene,and a Making of doc on the original DVD that wasn't on the 2 disc set I also have and will keep b) chapter stops inconsistent with the DVD. There are only 16 chapter as opposed to the 30 on the DVD and the last chapter runs over 20 minutes. ![]() Almost Famous [Region 2] $34.94 May become THE film about 70's rock. Follows the story of a young rock music reporter (based on Crowe's real-life experiences). Billy Crudup, Patrick Fugit, Kate Hudson, Frances McDomand, and the always-entertaining Philipp Seymour-Hoffmann are a first-rate cast that bring the 70's heyday of heavy rock to life in a moving, emotional story that successfully encapsulates the mythology of the rock star life. The 'Director's Cut' includes more footage of the band's "tour" and is the version that should have been released in theatres. This is a wonderful movie that tanked at the box office; hopefully over the years more people will see it and appreciate it for what it is: Cameron Crowe's affectionale and nostalgic tribute to 1970's rock music. ![]() Almost Famous, Vol. 2 $19.98 Warren Jamez and J-Beats demonstrate their street bike skills in ALMOST FAMOUS 2. The two stunt riders bring their talents from southern California across the Mexican border into Rosarito and show everyone what they (and their bikes) can do. ![]() Almost Famous (Blu-Ray) [Blu-ray] $36.99 Japanese Blu-ray/Region A pressing.
