definitely in my top 5

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2003)

Apart from the soundtrack being totally kick-butt, which it is, I really think that Empire is really like a High Fidelity for a younger audience. Both movies have just awesome soundtracks, both deal with love (Empire has it as a subplot, yes, but it's still there) and both don't get caught up with all the pompousness of 20-million-dollar-a-movie actors.

Empire Records is a must see, don't even bother renting it, just buy the thing :) ****1/2
