I feel this comment so much. It is so bizarre to think basically our generation is the last who can actually relate to this movie, and truly 'GET IT'. It's kinda cool, but it's also EXTREMELY SAD.
This is such a perfect film. Its emotional, its funny, it's just classic. The acting is brilliant and so is the soundtrack. Also Joe is 100% my favourite character if not only for the fact he genuinely cares for every single employee. Lucas fucks him over majorly and he STILL cares for him, asks him if he needed the money because he was in trouble. Is stressed the hell out and STILL wishes AJ luck with telling Corey how he feels about her. Takes the time to tell Debra she is doing a good job in hopes of making her feel better. There are so many more examples but the point is Joe is KING 🤴
watched this movie for the first time as a kid bc it was my mom’s favorite and have watched it a ton of other times since. i was at the thrift store today and found an original release soundtrack cd for this movie and so now i gotta watch it again. greatest movie
I was in high-school when this came out and I still love it as much as I did then. I jokingly made a button for my work name badge in the early 2000s that said 'Marc sucks' as me and coworkers were each representing characters from the film. I was Marc lol though I'm more like a non suicidal (but somewhat self destructive) Deb crossed with Marc lol.
Personally, I was shocked that it was a flop! This came out when I was in college and I loved it and still love it. Watch it every few months! Does anyone else recognize Rex Manning and what other "major" roles he had??? I can tell you...! =)
Thank you for uploading this. It isn't available anywhere here in Denmark anymore, so I'm happy I found it here and rewatch it. It's such a great comfort movie, great story, funny, heartwarming, weird and the music is amazing. I miss the time where there music was just as important as the movies, if not more. To be a teenager in the 90's was pretty epic in so many ways.
Watch it 1st time after the release. Sparked me to work at the record store in my place. Missed those memories. Among the underated movies but still being appreciate by the people who knew about this movie.
White, Suburban American Teenagers from the same generation of the featured characters all *LOVE* this movie because it was so easy to see themselves as parallel to a particular character…what I can say now watching it through the eyes of an adult with kids. It’s a coming of age story; a group of record store employees are working to close-out their adolescence and believe they’re ready to become adults, but some impulsive decisions have them coming to terms with the fact that they aren’t adults yet…
@@ericbush3399 I was one of those white suburban teenagers…I think you missed the point of my comment, the idea I was trying to convey was that it’s a story about a group of adolescents who think they’re ready for all that adulthood has to throw at them & each one of them finds themselves *WAY* over their head…
This movie is more polarizing than i expected. In the comments, some shred this movie profusely, others say it was the best film ever. When it first came out i loved it. Decades later i just like it. Some of the scenes are unclassy. My favorite character is a tossup between AJ & Lucas. I usually dont like characters with lucas personality, but the actor pulls it off so well he is likeable.
I was 29 years old when this movie came out man I am old there's almost no one can remember record's or spending a entire day at a record store I only have enough for one album and I always new exactly what album I was going to buy I should have been in and out in 2 minutes but every time it was 4 hr minimum
Imagine working with a chic and she walks into work, doesn’t say a word, goes to the bathroom and comes out looking like GI Jane. 😂 that’s one crazy bee right there!
Could Tlak for HOURS about this Movie, It's a Fav! I Still use lines from this all the time! I only ended up here because I was looking for a soundtrack song. TY TH-cam! So Happy to Watch THIS! It's sad its a free movie, but its its mine now so... "I do Not regret the things I have done, But Those I did not do."
The film was severely edited in post-production, removing three significant characters and up to 40 minutes of film. The story was also condensed from occurring over two days to a single day.
Empire records before it was bought out and turned into F.Y.E lol but always loved going to record stores and discovering new artists before the internet ruined that
Paul the pizza guy is also in White Oleander!!! He's the comic book keeper that keeps Astrid's letters!! Cool other fact Aj is headed to my hometown!!!! Aj give my home hell for me
Loved hanging out in record stores my experiences spannedover 4 decades from 60s on all Kool music kept changing adding formats reinventing expression never disappointing only thing lps 2 CDs got too expensive then downloading downsizing n finally disappearing But they were really something while my guitar gently weeps. Amen❤Go in peace not today's fashion. But hey my entire record collection goes were my device travels n more Things got kooler compact n relived😂❤Go Johnny go go gone baby freak out with Frank🎉
Wondering if Harry Styles got a bit of his inspirstion for Watermelon Sugar High .. from Sugar.High.. different tempo yet still.. sugar High is a great hook 🎉
I wonder why The The's song "This is the day" which is played at the end of the movie when everyone is dancing on the roof, why that song didn't make it onto the soundtrack?

Who else watches every Rex Manning Day?! ❤
Also Kurt Cobain's Deathiversary. April 8th
The 90s was a truly the greatest era to be a teenager.
🎉100% accurate
YES IT WAS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes it was. I wish I could go back and be a kid again.. 💯 😢
100%
Born right at 80. Child of the 80s, teen of the 90s, best stretch ever
Music meant so much during the 90s.
People who lived through the 90s will get this movie. One of the greatest movies of that era.
I wish we could go back to these times, I really do
I feel this comment so much.
It is so bizarre to think basically our generation is the last who can actually relate to this movie, and truly 'GET IT'.
It's kinda cool, but it's also EXTREMELY SAD.
40 years old still my favorite movie ever from the 90s growing up as a skater amd real big into grunge
This is such a perfect film. Its emotional, its funny, it's just classic. The acting is brilliant and so is the soundtrack.

There are so many more examples but the point is Joe is KING 🤴
Joe IS the man
He's a great boss, full of cares for each individual.
I'm here watching this on Rex Manning Day.
Full movie for free?! Thanks, man! Great quality!

First time I saw this movie I was 12 or 13...very formulative for me!
I guess your mom is GenX like me? Lol to be honest this is an underrated GenX classic
I was in high-school when this came out and I still love it as much as I did then.

hey, could you cut the last 5 seconds off of the video it would be a perfect 90 minutes lmao
He was in Grease 2 with Michelle pfeiffer
Exactly! AND he was in two episodes in the first season of 90210! =)
Maxwell Caulfield
It's become a cult classic over time. My gen z siblings and cousins love it too.
A defining film of the 90's.
Totally underrated movie. Absolutely love it.
Wrong there, buddy it’s not fucking underrated movie you goddamn son of a bitch!!
Great!
Watching this in 2023 - what a nice turnaround humanity could have taken ...
A true gem of a movie that I never knew existed . Brought tears to my eyes !!!😢 Teen of the 90s . Will never be the same .
I really wanna see Tobey Maguire’s scene as Andre, but it will never see the light of day :(
wait what? was he originally in this movie?!
AJ: What’s with you today?
Lucas: What’s with today today?
Happy Rex Manning Day 2024!!! False Idols are always revealed!🎉❤
Never mind the eclipse, Happy Rex Manning Day everyone!
Appreciate this! My comfort movie. I have the VHS, DVD and soundtrack CD. Just easier to put this on here. My HS/teen years right here.

Haven't seen this in forever. One of the best soundtracks of the 90s. TY!
Agree! I rock this soundtrack allll the time!🎉
Watch it 1st time after the release.
Sparked me to work at the record store in my place. Missed those memories.
Among the underated movies but still being appreciate by the people who knew about this movie.
This came out when I was a sophomore in high school it has always been one of my favorite movies.
Damn the man save the empire this is still my fav movie of all time the movie that made every teen of the 90s want to work In a record store

I worked at a store very similar to this one in the nineties. Are we obliged to apologise for where we come from?
....or just feel guilty?

Love this movie first saw it when I was 13 and it blew my mind one of my top ten 1995 movie

Glad you enjoyed it
Earned a subscriber from this teen of the 90s 😢 ❤

This is one of my favourite underrated movies! I have it on dvd and I've likely watched it at least a dozen times
I watch/listen to this at least twice a week, best movie ever made
I'm 57, today and I loved this movie 🎬! Before Liv Tyler knew her father really was Steven Tyler daughter, liv thought her father was Todd rundgren
Could Tlak for HOURS about this Movie, It's a Fav! I Still use lines from this all the time! I only ended up here because I was looking for a soundtrack song. TY TH-cam! So Happy to Watch THIS!

Hahaha...yup TH-cam doesn't always disappoint
The fact there is still a Rex Maning Day every single year says a lot. This movie is perfect
Corey is amazing, telling AJ to go to art school so WW3 doesn't happen
To work at a job like Empire Records? 😎😏😁🤓
Heck, yeah! 🎸 🤘🏼 🤪😜😝😛🙃🥳

Yes
Empire records before it was bought out and turned into F.Y.E lol but always loved going to record stores and discovering new artists before the internet ruined that
the internet has made music even more discoverable than it was before
Damn the Man.
Save the Empire!

Wondering if Harry Styles got a bit of his inspirstion for Watermelon Sugar High .. from Sugar.High.. different tempo yet still.. sugar High is a great hook 🎉
Girl takes off clothes and offers herself to Rex. Rex whips out his penis, girl runs away and is offended LOL 😂
Weirdest movie no one even works they just are like THERE 😂
My favorite movie ❤
thank you
after so many years at least i found a damm song
I wonder why The The's song "This is the day" which is played at the end of the movie when everyone is dancing on the roof, why that song didn't make it onto the soundtrack?
I agree I bought the soundtrack for that song in itself and was so upset when it wasn't on there!!
i'll never look at HMV the same way
Shawty was picking the percs up off the floor that’s crazy.
I guess you grew up after diet pills were a thing, because they most certainly weren't percs.
"I'd get a lot done if I was chewing down speed, too, ya know." Not percs lol
I really miss wearing short little skirts like that either boots!😩😩
Yep.. Women nowadays wearing high cut jeans reall bums me out... Wish the nineties would return...
Greatest job EVVVERRR!
35:12 - saving this bc i'm trying to find the song playing
edit: okay found out it's I Don't Know Why by Sacrilicious
Yeah this movie was definitely for high schoolers 😂
Good memories
Great laugh on a lazy Sunday afternoon, very entertaining cheers
