Released in 1995, Empire Records became a defining cult classic of the decade, following a group of record store employees racing to save their shop from corporate takeover while navigating young adult chaos and a visit from fictional pop star Rex Manning. The ensemble cast featured Renée Zellweger, Liv Tyler, Robin Tunney, Ethan Embry, Rory Cochrane, and Johnny Whitworth.
Music was the heartbeat of the film. The A&M Records soundtrack packed an iconic '90s lineup: The Cranberries, Gin Blossoms, Edwyn Collins, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Better Than Ezra, and more.
