Nearly 14 years after the release of Cameron Crowe's classic film Almost Famous -- a story of a budding music journalist who goes on tour during the 1970s with the fictitious band Stillwater and falls in love with a groupie -- new details on film's title have been revealed.
In celebration of Empire Magazine's 300th issue, Crowe has released several handwritten lists of titles he considered for what would become Almost Famous. And thank goodness he went with "Almost Famous."
As Slate points out, most of these titles come from song lyrics, song titles and album names. For example, "Tangerine" is a Led Zeppelin song and "My Back Pages" is a Bob Dylan track.
Check out the full list of options below (see the handwritten versions beneath them via TheUncool), and let us know if you think he went with the right choice in the comments section!
