Empire Records
1995 · Directed by Allan Moyle
A day at an independent record store about to get bought by a chain. A soundtrack with a movie happening around it. Damn the man.
Why It's Cult
Empire Records flopped so hard it damaged careers, then the soundtrack became a 90s mixtape staple and the film slowly re-emerged as a cult artifact. Renée Zellweger, Liv Tyler, Robin Tunney, Anthony LaPaglia. It's not secretly good — it's the same good it always was, and the audience finally caught up.
The Plot, Officially
A day in the life of the employees of Empire Records. Except this is a day where everything comes to a head for a number of them facing personal crises - can they pull through together? And more importantly, can they keep their record store independent and not swallowed up by corporate greed?
Starring
Anthony LaPaglia, Debi Mazar, Maxwell Caulfield
