This is tied with High Fidelity as my favorite "music" movie of all time. This Is Spinal Tap is up there, but doesn't quite make the cut.

Show some love.

almost famous and empire records are two of my favorite movies. i couldnt pick between the two cuz there are reasons why each would make a better movie in my opinion...

Guilty pleasure of mine. I always feel like I shouldn't be watching it when I do. Almost Famous is the shit.

I always liked this movie, and it was 7 bucks at fye, so I bought it.

Anyone else think it's ironic that fye sells it in the first place?

Movie based after a guy who used to work at a Tower Records (RIP).

But freaking great movie.

I worked at a Sam Goody for a few years back in high school, and we would always put this on at night when the manager had already taken off, lots of good times just hanging out sitting on the counters and watching this.

in the current movie climate, garden state made a big push to reintroduce music to move another form of art to another level.

High Fidelity and Empire Records are the two that always connect in my mind.

I love this movie, I TiVoed it when it was on Fuse the other day (it's on there every now and then). I might buy it eventually.

Great movie, it definitely ranks up there with High Fidelity as far as "music movies" go

So funny I was thinking about watching this movie. It was filmed in Wilmington, NC where I live. I wish we'd get some awesome movies like that filming here now. Subject wise, I liked High Fidelity much more. Also I love John Cusack

woahh a movie you've seen that I haven't??

I know Fuse has been airing these types of movies lately, but when it's on I'll be at school, and I don't think I get that channel.

I won't be home until November, there would be no point in DVRing it. I'll probably rent it when I get back to school in a week, there won't be anything better to do.

God I love this movie. I bought a ER movie poster last fall for my room, but when I took it down it tore and I had to throw it out :-(

Never seen it - it's not simply a 90's movie is it? Sometimes music films can appear dated.

i mean they don't spend all their time texting with friends or updating their facebook pages on their iphones, but it's not like 'hackers' where they're drooling over a laptop with a 56k modem.

No definitely not just a 90's movie, maybe its just me but it doesnt really seem dated at all watching it now.
