Almost Famous clarification.
 

Have there been three releases of this film?
1. Original release
2. re-release (Untitled)
3...I think my dvd is disc two of the Bootleg Cut, did they discontinue 1 ?

I'm not sure though...

Hmm. Not really clear on what you're saying here about the third item. Almost Famous "Untitled" is the "Bootleg Cut". It is two discs plus a CD with Stillwater songs. There was a single disc release before it came out. Those are the only two Region 1 releases of it that I am aware of. The Untitled Bootleg Cut is a hell of a release for a film that really deserved one.

okay, well on my 1 disc dvd
there is an intro by cameron crowe, and he talks about the bootleg cut?

Sounds like you've got a bootleg of the bootleg.

Hope that helps - I think the art changed, but not the DVD on the 1 disc - I could be wrong

I got it at best buy, so I doubt it's a bootleg.
It was in a two-pack with american beauty.

So you have the original release.

Was there a slipcover-ish part for the bootleg. I was looking at mine and it is just a fold up sort of thing, seems odd.

It's just a slipcover on top of the regular one.

Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind also have these.

okay I'm going to finish this and take my time, and then practice my English more. -wink-

Okay. Untitled or, "The Bootleg Cut", the three disc edition came out I believe after the original release. My question is once that came out, did they replace the original with disc 1 from the bootleg cut edition? Because there is an extra on it, Cameron Crowe giving his introduction to the bootleg DVD.

Thank you.

I do not remember that being on the one disc when I owned it. Sometimes I skim supplements quickly and I could have missed it, but that sounds new to me.

Does anyone know when the Bootleg Cut went out of print? I must have missed this announcement.

Earlier this yr. I ordered it from the last DDD sale when it was listed, but it was later cancelled.

Wow, didn't know this went OOP. I lost this DVD in my last move. After a couple of years of looking, I gave up and bought another copy from ebay for $10 + $4 S&H about two months ago. It was actually missing the CD, but I can live with that. I'm just really glad I got it again as it's one of my favorite films of recent years.

To the OP's question : Did we ever figure out if the Theatrical cut was replaced with the bootleg one?

Fixed.
