almost famous

cameron crowe - 2000

This is another one I always watch when it's on. The perfect match of music and film. It runs a few great genres - the 'night journey' wherein a protagonist goes on both a literal and figurative journey and comes out a different person on the other end, coming of age tale, psuedo-historic fake biopic .

Steven Shainberg - 2006

This is a very different film. An imagination of how Diane Arbus left her cookie-cutter life and became one of the twentieth century's most interesting artists. Nicole Kidman & Robert Downey Jr. are great.

good will hunting

Gus Van Sant - 1997
