I don't often recommend "R" rated movies. But I recently watched "Almost Famous" for a second look and the film is still very good.
Cameron Crowe (who directed the film) took home the academy award for best screen play. The film came out in 2000 and marked one of the first memorable appearances of Kate Hudson in film.
The film is a fairly realistic portrayal of a kid who wants to write about rock and roll and finds an opportunity. It's loosely based on actual experiences of Cameron Crowe and so has an edginess that earned it it's R rating. By today's standards the number of "F" words would still put it over the P-13 rating, but it would be a very soft R.
I found the entertainment value of the film to be worth the small amount of bad language and I would recommend it for a second (or first) look.
