"I have to go home." "You are home." These are the best two lines of the whole movie.

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.

Can we all just acknowledge how freaking legendary Elton John and Bernie Taupin were in the 70s? My god ...

If we are lucky in life, we've all shared moments like this with friends singing songs, drinking, laughing and letting the day unknowingly turn to night that turns to day.

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.

THIS is how it's done, how you pay homage to Elton's masterpiece. That song on that Bus, is priceless.

The way he looks at the camera after "You are home" and how she lays her head on his shoulder is so profound. It's always given me goosebumps. I've seen this over 100 times.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the evening is over. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves, and we'll see you all again in 1974. Good evening!"

If I ever form a band, I'm totally naming one of my albums "Rock Stars Have Kidnapped My Son."

This scene depicts the 70s so perfectly. From the music, the lifestyle, the touring. It’s very seldom a scene can capture and describe an era in the space of a few mins. Well done all

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.

One year ago, I watched this scene together with my mother on her death bed just four days before she passed away at just 59 years young. This was her favorite scene and one of her favorite movies. I chose to play Tiny Dancer at the funeral.

"Rock stars have kidnapped my son." I love how the student copies that down! LOL!!

Well, I'm almost 36 and I'm still holding out hope for my "You are home" moment.

When my mother first saw this movie she cried. “What’s wrong?” I asked. She smiled and said, “I remember those days.” ❤️

How this movie didn't win an Oscar is beyond me, great story line with such great music. This movie is a absolute gem.

The scene where they remembered they were all there because they loved the music

I love this movie so much it hurts

Kate Hudson makes this whole movie, her performance makes everyone better and makes this film a classic. Her gleaming smile many times in this movie I think is just the best smile of all time and her sadness is heart wrenching.

I've never seen anything illustrate the unifying and healing power of music as well as this scene. Pure magic.

I have never seen, nor heard of this movie. But this is inexplicably one of the most epic sequences in film that I have seen.

This one will resonate with anyone 55 or older. I laughed. I shed a tear or two. Oh, to be young again, in the 70s.

One of the most incredible scenes in music-movie history. Despite everything that has happened to the band, in the end the magic of Tiny Dancer reminds them that their love of music is what brought them together and made them who they are. I love it.

This scene murders my heart.

This scene shows the power of music and how awesome it is between friends

One of the greatest scenes in movie history. Within the context of the movie the song and acting is perfect.

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.

I know how good Kate Hudson was in this, but Billy Crudup and Jason Lee were the ones that really impressed me here. Seriously. If I ever forget how good they are, I just watch this movie. Ridiculously great.

This shows the power of music, how it unites people

Believe it or not, before I saw this scene, I wasn't aware of how gorgeously perfect Tiny Dancer is.

This is one of the best scenes in movie history and Im dead serious. Its emotional, you can like feel it in your gut somehow.

This is maybe one of the best examples of using a song within a scene, maybe ever.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that can watch this scene for hours

the amount of serotonin this scene provides me is off the charts

For me, the underrated part of this scene is Billy Crudup's slow reintegration back into normality, with Elton carrying him along. It's very unrushed acting and potently effective.

My mom showed me this movie when I was younger so basically grew up watching it, she just passed away a few months ago. So this movie means a lot to me. in this scene particular when penny does that, I do it to people all the time, cause its true home isnt always a place, but a person

Almost Famous Dazed and Confused Empire Records The Warriors Detroit Rock City What more do you need in life? Watch these movies and feel great!

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 scene is just pure magic. I can't describe it any other way.

I'm a drummer in a Elton Tribute Band. Playing his catalog for years I find my self getting board every now and then but when we play "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and "Tiny Dancer" you can just feel the vibe of the theater/Venue get so nostalgic and you see little kids and their Grandparents mouthing the words. Then I realize why we do it and are privaliged to "Tribute" such a Iconic Artist...

Might be one of the best songs ever written. A guy at my brother's wedding after party busted this out on the piano and everyone sang, just like this. Will never forget that.

In '73, I was 26 y/o--------I & my friends LIVED for the music, & for concerts. I've seen everyone . EVERY FUCKING ONE ! --------watching this masterpiece, takes me back, & with tears, I've seen the Bootleg version at least 10 times. It never gets old. NEVER. ------ALL MY HEART & LOVE, to you, Cameron Crowe , & all of the cast, especially Kate Hudson, Jason Lee, Billy C., Patrick, & MOST OF ALL, RIP, Philip Seymour Hoffman . YOU sir, deserved an Oscar , as did Kate Hudson.----it was a time, the likes of which, we will NEVER, EVER, see again., & it was wonderful. I'll take being old now-----to, having been young ---back then. Guess ya had ta be there !--------MJL, 76 y/o

If you watch the making of, you will find that her line, "You are home", was improvised. Even more brilliant...

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!

When his mother said , “Rock stars have kidnapped my son.” , and the girl wrote it down. I burst out laughing.

I'm here to re-watch a great scene from a great movie and read the comments. It's amazing how people living across the globe have had similar experiences with a piece of art? We're more connected that we've realised. I'm writing this in the middle of the pandemic but I'm sure we'll emerge from it stronger and better.

When penny says you are home is magical 💓

What a fantastic movie and Kate Hudson is priceless!!

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

I remember on my senior class trip in 2003 we went to inner harbor Baltimore, It was about 3 hours away. On the way home the song ‘I hope you dance’ by Leanna Womack came on and the entire bus started singing, even macho football players and it felt like this exact moment. I knew I would remember that moment and feeing always and still do 20 years later.

Still amazed this didn’t get a best picture nomination

Takes me back to my teen years , the 70's were great . I just didn't know they would ever end .

One of the most famous scenes in movies. Not the best, not the smartest, but one of the most famous.

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

Almost Famous is a masterpiece.

I fucking adore this movie.

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

One of the greatest movie clips ever

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!

"I AM A GOLDEN GOD!"

"I'm sorry I can't concentrate, ROCKSTARS HAVE KIDNAPPED MY SON"

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

one of the greatest movie scenes ever filmed. ever. this is a fact.

Magical movie moment. I can't quantify what makes this scene so wonderful. Personally, it represents all the best things about being young and in a band. Kate Hudson is a composite of all the girls you fell for at fifteen, but were just out of reach. Just perfection.

Without doubt, one of THE most evocative and poignant movie/music scenes of all time. If you don't shed a tear watching this, you have a heart of stone!

Possibly my favorite movie scene because it takes me back to the early 70's. We had our group, we were tight, like family!! 40 years later it only exists in my memories!!!

Probably one of the most underrated films ever made. Almost Famous was art with artistry ....

2:27 could be the coolest moment in movie history.

Man. Just watched this movie again for the first time in years. Left my gut in a twist. Truly a masterpiece, in my opinion, and Cameron's best film. You just can't make something as magical again after this one. ""The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."

It’s 2020 and this is still the greatest scene in movie history

"I have to go Home" and the way she replies "You are home". Best line ever

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

Russell looked so happy when singing

How does this not just put a huge smile on your face?

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...

I first saw this film when I was 33 years old. I found it to be rather emotional. In a good way. I laughed, I would tear up, I would get angry, I felt young, I felt old. This scene always makes me long for someone to look at me and say with such conviction "You are home". This movie just worked!

One of the greatest movie scenes of all time

2020 and this scene still makes me cry

Before podcasts existed, I used to play this movie on repeat. Like they were all my friends. How sad is that? lol

Everytime I watch this scene, it is just as powerful as the first time. Maybe even more powerful. The whole ambiance and emotion it provokes is magic.

Everything about this scene is perfection, particularly Kate Hudson.

One of the best cinematic moments ever

It’s a beautiful love story to the 70s and my god it’s just a wonderful movie. Thank you.

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

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.

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

Greatest ending to a classic scene ever every delivery is perfect

Anyone disliking this video must be really miserable.

Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today

That little affectionate back scratch as the song starts to kick in always gets me.

Forever bitter that I missed the 70’s. I’ll die mad about it.

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.

Yes! YES! This Scene!! This moment right here encapsulates so much and so many things. That perfect, perfect feeling that only comes along a few times in our journey through life’s-being together and totally unified with a group of like-minded friends who all share a love and connectivity for their common passion, in this case, music. This brought me back to my running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 Family and traveling with our Run Club to various marathons around the country-we ran, trained, sweated, cried, and very much SANG together in moments similar to this. I’m 52 now. I’ve lost three dear friends from our group to cancer in the past three years and I will always remember and never forget our shared experiences together. Weeping as I write this. This scene. What Life Is All About #home #connectedness #belonging #passionsshared

This movie and this scene immortalized this song. One of Elton’s greatest songs ever.

"Rock stars have kidnapped my son" and jots down those notes will never stop being funny to me. One of my favorite scenes from any movie.

One of the best uses of music in a movie EVER. Perfect song for this moment, moves the plot meaningfully. Cant imagine another song working as well

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!

Man this movie holds a very special place in my heart ❤

Best movie ever. Best scene. Best script. Best performances.

Perfect song and movie, Kate Hudson so gorgeus.
