Elizabethtown. Has Cameron Crowe ever compiled a less-than-perfect soundtrack? This time around, Elton John, Tom Petty and My Morning Jacket tunes serve as backdrops to Crowe's bittersweet tale about a guy who goes home for his father's funeral. (Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst star.) "Elizabethtown is probably even more of a musical than Almost Famous," Crowe explained in a recent press release. "The music is as important as any of the characters — it's the movie's inner voice, a friendly guide and a secret muse." (Movie release date: Oct. 14. Soundtrack release date: Sept. 13.)
