Either Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous or In Your Eyes in Say Anything...Cameron Crowe rules.

IMO - the use of Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous was one the most cliched & hackneyed use of song in film. You've got a bunch of 'rockers' about to face certain death and they break into a tune by Elton John?

[/ QUOTE ]

They weren't facing certain death at the time they sang this song.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay - possible death.

[/ QUOTE ]

Still wrong...they sang this one on the bus after Russell's acid trip night, not on the plane. But...if it's cliched, then what are the predecessors?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am wrong. Everyone else is right.

Cameron Crow'ned.

I believe you mean "Machine Gun" by the Commodores in that movie. Wild scene.
