count the headlights on the highway

5 favourite movie moments (currently):
1. busride singalong (almost famous)
2. when time slows and camera holds its gaze on gwyneth paltrow after she gets off the bus, and then the music starts (the royal tenenbaums)
3. hugh grant saying "ooo can we call her chubby?" in that really high-pitched voice (love actually)
4. anytime emma thompson appears in the frame (stranger than fiction)
5. tie between juno saying "ah FUCKITTY fuck" and "WHOA dream big!" (um, duh)

5 favourite moments in almost famous:
1. elaine miller's (frances mcdormand) reprimanding monologue to russell hammond (billy crudup) over the telephone.
2. close-up of anita miller (zooey deschanel) telling william miller (patrick fugit), "one day...you'll be cool."
3. jeff bebe (jason lee) speaking at length about his theories regarding the dynamics between brain and instincts to william on the tour bus. (extended scene from director's cut)
4. penny lane (kate hudson) dancing amid the debris on the concert hall floor to cat stevens's "the wind."
5. "i miss you, and i love you." -- elaine miller on the phone with william (very emotive moment)
