Almost Famous Blu-ray

I've never seen this movie but have heard good things.

The extended version comes out on blu next week and I'm itching for new movies I've not seen on blu. Would you guys recommend this or not?

Thank you muchly

It's a great film. I am a huge Cameron Crowe fan, and this one is at the top (along with Vanilla Sky). Especially if you are into the whole 70's era style rock music. I would highly recommend it as a blind buy. Especially because the Bootleg version is the extended version and it is oop, and the differences between the two (extended verses theatrical) is huge. Excellent film.

I have the bootleg edition on DVD and have never watched the theatrical cut (ever) don't know how it differs, but I love the Bootleg Edition.

I will, however, wait for the US release on this one. It's sure to come and I probably won't need to watch this one again until then.

I am definitely importing this for sure. Absolutely loved this movie. I need a link to get this imported if anyone has it.

I ordered this title from my favorite UK vendor, Sendit.com.
They ship promptly.

Their price was 2 pounds ($4) cheaper than even Amazon. With shipping it came to $26.65.

Check them out!

Ive never seen it, by my gf loves it. She was super happy when I told her the BD version wasnt far off.

I love the part where everyone is on the bus and Tiny Dancer comes on, then they all sing it together. Jason Lee and Kate Hudson were great in this.

paulyg · 02-04-2008, 05:51 PM

I just ordered this from amazon uk. I should have asked first, but will it play on my ps3 and is it in english

Manny · 02-04-2008, 05:54 PM

This movie is amazing and is well worth looking at. I eagerly anticipate it's North American release.

It's the story of my life. Anyone who loves music and has rock n roll coursing through their veins needs to see it. It will confirm everything you know to be true.

I love it when they think the plane is crashing

Will this play oK in the U.S??

It's region free so it will play fine in the US.

Ordered my copy about a month ago and both the U.K. as well as Japanese release will play on U.S. players.
Kate as a groupie and a Les Paul....does it get much better?

Cost was around 28.00 delivered to the U.S. from Amazon U.K. and I heard sendit.com lowered their price on this one making it slightly cheaper yet.

'Fever Dog' by Stillwater is still one of my all-time favourite songs.

All it says is... Love comes and goes and Lester Bangs interview.
I do know that both this and the Japanese release are the Bootleg cut.
