Empire Records... where do I begin? It certainly gets my vote for most super-awesome 90s movie. A bevy of quirky teenaged characters (including a young Liv Tyler and Renee Zelweger), a killer soundtrack, silly plotline with random tangential scenes. Rex Manning Day? Warren the shoplifter? Oh, and as if that weren't enough, an adorable Ethan Embry plays the metal-loving goofball with a hankering for pot brownies. And, like all 90s movies of any importance, it ends with the cast dancing together on the roof. Roll credits.
I decided as we watched the movie for the umpteenth time tonight that I would live-blog all my favorite lines.
Talk back in the comments... your favorite part of the movie I missed or your own best 90s movie memories.
