Customer Ratings & Reviews

The delightful cast brings colorful characters to life. The soundtrack totally rules.

This is a fun '99s movie. If you like the quirky, offbeat types, this is for you

Rare movie you don't hear alot about....But was big when it came out....I personally love the stars in this one...the fact it's on Blu Ray... well done

It's a fun story and can be a little predictable, but overall a classic that needs to be in every movie collection.

Love this movie if your a romcom lover from the 90s To early 2000s than this is a movie you need to check out if you haven’t.

This film got terrible reviews...plain and simple. Why? Because it wasn't aimed at film critics ...at all. The film is an experiment in teen flicks along the lines of "The Breakfast Club" it chronicles the lives of a bunch of angst y, depressed, manic teens over the course of a single day, finding odd little ways to tell each of their stories. It definitely accomplishes this goal, using "Rex Manning Day" as the vehicle for delivering half a dozen life stories without telling a boring narrative. Granted, it's doesn't have the most original plot, or Oscar caliber acting, but it the film does what it sets out to do, and for this reason, earned its cult following. Watch this film and you will find yourself quoting lines and recalling scenes. If you're looking for a fun romp with a story that will neither bore you, nor tax your mental reserves, this is a great flick--lots of fun, quotable dialogue, and of course, great music. Both Cochrane and Embry give memorable performances as the night manager, turned well meaning felon turned philosopher and the happy go lucky stoner respectively. The story line is a tad incongruous and disjointed and some of the characters are stereotypical in their attempts to shatter the stereotypes, but if you go in to this movie with the expectations that it's just going to be a fun flick, you'll be satisfied.

I’ve held on to my dvd copy for years, now I finally own this classic in Blu-ray! Such a good movie

Excellent throwback movie from the 90s. Excellent soundtrack. Does NOT include digital copy.

Great movie even better product! Liked the movie and really enjoy owning the Bluray! A+++++

A guilty pleasure of mine. This movie is about how crazy life can be working in a record store.

Great quality with Bluray. This is also a classic movie. A must for any 90's fan.

The 90's supplied some of the greatest corny yet awesome movies, this is one of the best.

I was so happy to find this movie in one of the dvd bins. Its such a classic 90's movie.

Empire Records [Blu-ray] [1995] An awesome classic 80's style movie. This movie rules.

"Empire Records" was one of my first indie films following Kevin Smith's first couple back in the 90s. It's a story of a day in the life of the employees of a record store and their various ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and a visiting Rock Star after a misunderstanding sends the closing manager Lucas to Atlantic City where he loses all of the store income from the previous day. To tell you more would be doing a disservice to this hilarious ensemble comedy staring Rene Zellweger, Ethan Embry, Robin Tunney, Liv Tyler, Anthony LaPaglia, etc. It's crazy, its not at all serious, and the soundtrack is amazing if you have any love for the 90s alternative rock scene. Best of all this is the original theatrical version, not the Fan Remix extended version. Normally the extended cuts are better and that one is fine but I prefer this version as it's just a bit better paced and moves better. Blu-ray has a series of deleted scenes which was a fun added bonus I hadn't expected before ordering.

Take people from different backgrounds and bring them together for a common goal. Interesting and enjoyable.

Pretty funny movie with a decent soundtrack. The stories not bad and the acting itself isn't bad either.

I enjoyed the film. The blu-ray has several bonus features that kept me entertained after the movie was finished.

Love that I was finally able to find this on dvd. Been looking for years.

I have to work this weekend for my kids to get me and then to the mall
