I'll definitely take Empire, thanks. Both are great. But Empire's like all time.

I've never seen either!

Don’t watch them

You are blinded by empty nostalgia

You should check them out.

I highly recommend Empire. Watched it again not too long ago. It's a great movie.

Don’t do it, Jorge

Nothing's right I'm torn!

What if he likes them though?

There was another similar one around that time. I can’t recall the name.
It was genuinely bad but so good

This is gonna rattle me. It’s in the top of my tongue

I goddamn love High Fidelity.

Airheads is fun, too. But High Fidelity is probably the best of all the ones we've talked about here so far today.

Cameron Crowe’s got Say Anything and Almost Famous as well, and the time period had The Commitments and That Thing You Do.

The book is much much better.

The Brits were kinda ahead of the curve around that time.
You had Trainspotting and all that dance culture coming out and really speaking to a generation in a real way.
Look over the way and there was nothing comparable really outside teen fluff movies for MTV generation.
Kind of odd.

Commitments was 1990/91. Wouldn’t put it in this category at all. Fucking Hilarious and touching film but again, the book was better. One of the funniest films ever made I’d say
