Almost Famous - Tiny Dancer

[@barse.255]

Despite of its popularity its one of the most underrated movies in history... I mean it’s just amazing. Especially this scene. This scene has an amazing vibe and it makes me so emotional.

[@fireman_17]

That is cause of the epic cast.. If you look the cast most of them was not really that known till after Almost Famous.. But the movie stands on it own..

[@TheWrestlingClassic]

So they were all basically almost famous....;)

[@thejaramogi1]

Great piece of Art!!

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Ekin KIYAK Well, that's the thing about AF : everything about it is great. There's not a single damn scene that isn't great, at least in the bootleg cut. I still remember the look we had with my friends during the end credits... ("dudes can you believe how good was this fucking movie ?!")

[@scottieferguson2295]

Too much conventional, overrated in my opinion. Just a nice movie.

[@davidtaylor8548]

This is where I came in! I had never heard of this film, until I found the beginning of this scene when changing channels. And that was it...

“Timeless”

[@bettierusso5410]

Stuck eternally in the 1970s! Watching this movie is like watching my life as a teenager. Great music, great times. I was deeply in love, and 15. I married him one year later and we are almost 48 yrs of marriage and still deeply in love. Funny how the Spirit inside of us never ages, then we catch a glimpse in the mirror and stop cold in your tracks. What the hell happened? Who is this old woman?? Where did the time go?? In my mind and heart, we still look that good, but the outside means nothing next to sharing every minute of your life with your soul mate!! Thank you Jesus and Thank you, John.

[@MrWallybones]

Well said - powerful and heartfelt. I watched it again last night and found myself getting very emotional at times. The music is really triggering! ✌

[@paulareeves8778]

Me too

[@killianlpc]

I think thousands of people watching this feel the very same, and have that exact lived experience. It really was the best of times to be a teenager. The music just brings it all back.

[@xheidix1974]

My high school english teacher played this clip as part of his farewell speech to my senior class. He compared college to the road trip. He said there would be times when we would want to come back home, but we'd have someone tell us "you are home" and everything would be alright.

:/ I love how my time line matches up w/ my tastes 🤦... I'd say I should feel cringey, idky. Bc I was just young and stupid... But this came out before I even graduated... 36 now and I wish I could just be young again. Bc then ppl would be like," 🤔 oh, just give her some passes. She's just young..." :/ 😅🤣😂. I click on one thing, search one thing, keep clicking, & sh just stays more in my feed. So now I got this movie stuck in my head & all it's random attachments... I def. related to the writer more... Penny's lucky she made it out alive... Does that sound cheesey cliche over the top? I was/ am kind of about that life... Huh? But I do remember lessons of random elders & peers... Bc even like penny tho, ...I'm the wanderer too... "Family doesn't hafta mean blood." Ok...

[@alicegrasss]

I just love how the band members were so mad with each other just a few minutes before this scene and then, all they need is music, the simple and beautiful music that reunites them and remembers them why they are here and what their dreams are. This movie means so much to me.

[@matthewbryan-taff1306]

I think this is a great scene and very entertaining, but it just shows how superficial all of this actually is. A tour bus is not “home” for any of them, and singing a song together doesn’t actually resolve any of their underlying issues.

[@dongeorge4037]

Not being "musical" I still have, twice, experienced the "power" of music as it lifted the performers into a different realm, one beyond the understanding of observers.

[@bigbearkat2010]

@@matthewbryan-taff1306I half agree with you and OP. To me this scene has always been about the power a good song can have on people. Like you said, this didn't actually resolve any of their actual problems with each other and they will continue being at each other's throats throughout the rest of the movie. For a few minutes though that suddenly doesn't matter and they all silently agree to put that stuff on pause to listen to a kick ass song.

[@bicj1179]

As I grow older, I take Penny's 'you are home' in an even more meaningful way. To William, he's still that young teen wanting to get back home to his familiarity, and Penny says 'you are home' to reassure him that he is in his place of comfort - music, so he will always be 'home'. But I feel it's so relevant to life in general. We're always trying to return 'home', to a place of comfort and stability and reassurance, like scared little kids. But we are always 'home', with our feet on the ground, air in our lungs and the strength to power through. Ok, perhaps with no promise of another day on this earth, but we always have the moment, and if we keep living in that moment, we will grow and learn and never have to feel we aren't home.

This is such an underrated scene... everything about it is perfect. The way they join in all together even though their mad, the way Kate Hudson starts to song kills me because of how powerful and confident she is, the way Russell sits their pissed and disappointed and finally gives in to the music. And this part especially kills me because Russell does LOVE the music more than life. Its everything to hims. It’s so perfect because this it what it means to be a band. The drugs, sex, tours & road trips, groupies, and journalists.. it’s the definition of rock band. And the song is just so wonderfully written by Elton john that you can’t not want to be apart of that kind of life after watching this. This song makes me dream of a life like this. And what makes it even more perfect is that it’s based in the 70s it’s like living in the “Golden music era”... well done to the screenplay who wrote this scene it was genius!

All time favorite movie. This movie gives me such an at home feeling that I can't describe.

[@JohnnyL22420]

Greatest ending to a classic scene ever every delivery is perfect

[@klimber10001]

Best scene in the entire movie, I love it...

[@jaimeharrison4261]

One of the best cinematic moments ever

[@paulineodonnell3163]

This film is cinematic gold. Needs to be put on Netflix to teach the uneducated in music

[@TheBuzzsawlenny]

"Looking back...she just laughs...the boulevard is not that bad.." Elton John and Bernie taupin were a dream team

[@juliantanderson9]

Greatest scene ever. Always shocks my spirit

[@Vlad-sw4zd]

This movie.. I love how good and thoughtful the dialogs are. I love the charisma and complicity of the characters. I love how it shows the beauty of that rock group road trip setting. How it tells a surprisingly nice and respectful story of a groupy.

[@5150Chupacabra]

One of the most iconic scenes in the history of ALL of cinema.

[@utubeDaveutube]

So right!

[@supersaiyanjack9233]

this scene is awesome despite not seeing the movie

[@garyraymer]

That scene with everyone is singing Tiny Dancer on the bus, William tells Penny, "I have to go home"! Penny runs her hand up to his face, and says, "You ARE home"! That scene always gets to me!

The most perfect use of a song in a movie.

[@deboramorken]

One of my favourite scenes of all time. Absolutely love this movie!!!

[@aldobuches14]

Its a really remarkable thing, when a director can set up a scene and leaves the delivery to the actors and with just the right music and the right dialogue you get something so powerful. I remember the first time i saw this scene it really blew my mind

[@theblacknimbus4002]

I cant Even listen to this song anymore without this scene entering my mind, beautiful movie, beautiful scene, beautiful song!!

[@denisesalles7248]

Amazing scene - brings me to tears. A SF Chronicle movie reviewer, Mick LaSalle, said Almost Famous made Tiny Dancer famous, but I think that's crazy. It was a classic way before this movie, but is the PERFECT song for this scene.

[@gibsongirl2100]

He was dead wrong and I'm surprised people didn't come down like a ton of bricks on him for such an ill-informed and inaccurate comment. This song was HUGE back in the day. It's part of the soundtrack to a half-dozen of my memories of that time.

[@denisesalles7248]

@@gibsongirl2100 10000% agree. No one called him out because he would have responded with one of his typical arrogant tongue-lashings about how wrong you were. At this point, I pretty much ignore his reviews but I just couldn't let that one ride. Insane. Also, if it wasn't already a hit, why did every single person on the bus know all the words and music? Mick LaSalle really showed his idiocy on this one.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

That's so beautiful.

[@martyncheung7982]

Genuinely my favourite movie scene of all time. From somber to uplifting...sheer brilliance

[@llbanu]

One of the greatest movies ever. Emotionally draining and long. But a timeless classic.

[@cullencochran3393]

I love that shot right after Penny says "you are home" and they're all singing and happy and a big family. You can feel the motion they feel cruising down the road.

[@cuchelo1]

2:46 - that look breaks my heart. Billy Crudup is such an underrated actor.

[@bridgetmcdowell1583]

Agreed

[@ThomB1031]

Big Fish is great, but yeah, he hasn't had as many great roles as you'd have expected.

He's beautiful... Loved him since "Sleepers"... Great film and he was ssssssmokin hot in it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@martinsorenson1055]

I was fortunate to see him in the Coast of Utopia Plays (three plays at about three hours each all in a day) - he was simply amazing: passionate, fierce and charismatic.

[@RobPresq1717]

This movie, this song, this scene. It remains my favorite memory in any movie. Despite their differences and arguments, it's the love of music that put them together and all it takes is one great song to bring them together again. On a side note, despite playing a lesser role in the movie, I was in love with Anna Paquin from the first time I saw her, not Penny. Keep in mind I was in my early teens at the time I first saw this but I was in awe of Anna's beauty ever since.

[@jeffreyparker1669]

76 model here. This is what I think the 70’s would have been like. The music that was put out in this decade I don’t think will ever happen again. One of the best movies.

[@smokeyRRDokie]

You all know most of us have a song that takes us instantly to a time/place in our like. I was 23-24 when this came out and this for me is one of those songs and always has been. Thank you Sir Elton!

[@rossturcotte419]

I cry everytime I see the young lady wave & blow a kiss to the bus. My ma lived this era and do to personal issues we aren't so close but her stories fill me with such wonder. She says this film and 'dazed & confused' were exactly how it was

[@michaelulbricht9438]

Almost Famous is one of the best movies regarding the 70's Rock and Roll life. The Tiny Dancer scene is just brilliant. A must see movie!

[@anthonydixon452]

One of the greatest movie scenes of any movie of any type....ever. 'Nuff said.
