Endlessly re-watchable 90's movie gold. I have probably seen this film 20 times and it never gets old or stale. I can recite the script word for word. I have the extended edition on DVD (because for some reason they haven't released it on Blu Ray yet!" And I love the extra scenes. This would make a good double feature with That Thing You Do, another movie I love to no end, but I'm waiting for the Blu to come out for that one.

"Top 50 Films of the 1990's Selection"
"Top 10 Film 1995 Selection"
"Top Ten 90's Teen Film Selection"Very entertaining, is the type of film I can watch over and over again, it encapsulates the 90's in a very good way, and on top of that the soundtrack is awesome.

Everyone say awh! This was super cute and fun! Great group of characters with really good casting where everyone does well! Fantastic soundtrack! I'm a sucker for these types of films!

This is one of those films that might not actually be very good technically but in terms of sheer enjoyment it brings to viewers it's superb. Empire Records is a cast filled with potential and a scenario that despite having worked in an indie record shop still remains incredibly desirable with a soundtrack that those of us who were there can revel in.
Damn the man! Save the Empire! Happy Rex Manning Day!

I didn't hate this movie. That's the most I can say for it.

one of the defining films of my teens, love it,
-
This movie actually makes me angry - it's completely overwrought and ridiculous. The writer clearly had no understanding of what makes teenagers tick so he just went with every possible stereotype there is. The actual record store is really cool though...and I love Liv Tyler so...

So fucking 90's it hurts.

Damn the man! Save the Empire!
This movie sparked my obsession to work in a record store. When that dream finally became a reality, there was unfortunately no loveable brownie eating Marc, no cute artist with a heart of gold and no Australia's own Anthony Lapaglia. Life can be very disappointing. Luckily, Empire Records never is. -

A cult classic from the 90s that still has great staying power. I liked it.
