This is not a good movie, but I sure do love it. Empire Records has characters that are just wild enough that you have to love them. There are some moments that get a little too sappy but for the most part its a worry free way to spend 90 minutes.

Liv Tyler's belly button is the real star of the show.

While the movie is decent to watch. However, the soundtrack may be soundtracks of the best ones ever.

Watching this for the first time ever in 2022 was a fever dream and I loved every second of it :joy:
If you like The Breakfast Club, I think you’ll appreciate this movie.

This movie is 26 years old today. And it has not aged well. Watch Airheads instead.

If you grew up in the 80s/90s this is pure nostalgia goodness. If you didn't, give it a pass. As a member of Generation X this is a good flick to dig out once every few years and remember a time when everything seemed easier.

I kinda like it. For some reason it was kind of a feel-good movie to watch (at least for me, since there's so many negative reviews about it). I mean it's a chill movie. Crazy characters and a bland story.

This one was been much better off as a fond memory; digging it out of the archives for a modern viewing just made me question the judgment of my younger self. A storeful of vapid, self-absorbed caricatures come together to hawk records, listen to radio-friendly '90s mush and reveal just how shallow they truly are as a collective. A very young Liv Tyler and Reneé Zellweger show some skin and look good doing so, but that's pretty much the only highlight. Whoever chose the soundtrack for this needs to be deafened for the good of all mankind; for a store that's supposed to be all about the anti-establishment, it's got very bland, mainstream tastes.

Channeling the spirit of John Hughes and the 80s, Empire Records is a sort of Breakfast Club for Generation Z. It's a story of misfits and underdogs thrown together on one ordinary yet extraordinary day that changes things forever.

When I discovered this gem via a friend sometime in the very early '00s, I'd watch it on a weekly—nay daily—basis. Amongst our circle of friends it became a cult classic, with characters who are instantly quotable (none more so than Rory Cochrane's zen-like Lucas) and a soundtrack that was legendary (even, and in fact especially, Rex Manning's kitch 'Say No More').

Clearly all these bad reviews have been written by The Man. Damn The Man, save the Empire!

Not even a youthful Liv Tyler in her undies can save this trash fire. Dreadful on every level. I actually want to commit violence against this film, it's that bad.

I don't know, looking at reviews I guess I gotta consider this a guilty pleasure. Because I love it, always have. It's a nostalgic good time, features a great soundtrack, fun characters and performances and does a good job of highlighting a youthful optimism.
