Loosely based on Director Cameron Crowe's (Jerry Maguire, Say Anything) own teenage years as a music journalist, Almost Famous follows naive 15-year-old William Miller when he is hired by Rolling Stone Magazine to write an article on up-and-coming band Stillwater, as they embark on their latest tour. He is quickly adopted by the band aids (not groupies!) and experiences the classic teen realisation that your idols aren't always as they seem.

Part coming-of-age, part love letter to the '70s, part music epic, Almost Famous is many things but the romance (or lack of) between Penny Lane and Russell is really what makes the film feel magic.

Put on your iconic fur coat, curl your hair and maybe find a man with a moustache for this golden God-like Guilt-Free Pleasures screening.
