Empire Records (1995)


The employees of an indie record shop band together to try and save it from being bought up bey a mega conglomerate.

It's sad to think that this film will soon be a cultural anachronism. We'll have to explain to our kids that back in olden days people had to go to brick and mortar stores if they wanted to buy things and that music used to come on discs and cassettes. Where are our punks, goths, hipsters, hippies and outcasts supposed to work when all the record shops go the way of the Dodo? Maybe it's time to re-unite the cast and make a movie about trying to stay afloat in a digital world. I would definitely pay to see that. Damn the man! SAVE THE EMPIRE!
