Almost Famous (2000 Cameron Crowe & scr)

Emotional. Brilliantly written. In his Oscar acceptance speech he says it was a love letter to music and to his family, Alice Crowe, Cindy Webber and his wife Nancy Wilson. It's probably Cameron's greatest film.

Almost certainly Cameron's own stuff

And - as though it needs saying - it has an insanely good soundtrack featuring amongst others Simon & Garfunkel, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Elton John, Yes, The Who, The Allman Brothers and David Bowie (his version of Waiting for the Man from 1972).
