In Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical account of his days as a journalist for Rolling Stone, we are introduced into a world of sex, drugs, and rock and roll that we all knew existed. Almost Famous is something that, if you've seen it, you hold near and dear to your heart. I, for one, exhibit fervid possessiveness over the film. My dad and I own matching Stillwater shirts. This is not a joke.
If you've seen Almost Famous then you are fully acquainted with Penny Lane, the role that almost won Kate Hudson a well-deserved Oscar and empowered women everywhere to embrace their inner band-aid. So ergo, in honor of Almost Famous' return to Netflix, I present to you the ultimate top 10 Penny Lane moments; try not to fall in love with her all over again.
10. When she sees Russell again (Billy Crudup *swoon*)
9. "I want to live in Morocco...for one year."
"I need a new crowd."
8. When she teaches us that vulnerability is JUST FINE.
After like 20 minutes of playing age-tag.
6. The Wind
A personal favorite of mine.
5. This.
4. "...who sold you to Humble Pie for 50 bucks and a case of beer..."
3. "I always tell the girls..."
"And if you ever get lonely, you just go to the record store...and visit your friends."
2. "This is Penny Lane, man, show some respect."
"Groupies sleep with rockstars because they want to be near someone famous. We're here because of the music, we...are band-aids."1. "I have to go home."
**Watch Almost Famous on Netflix while you still can, folks.**
