molls convenience stores record shops
sometimes exciting things can happen in
seemingly dull places welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 movies
that revolve around shops this is my
baby right here that’s my baby’s dick
right there for this list we’ve looked
at films that feature shops as a key
location whether it’s because of the
main characters occupation or because a
big part of the action takes place in a
store do you do you have Ghostbusters on
VHS there’s no VHS here buddy
now grab your shopping lists and your
credit cards and let’s go to the mall
number 10 the 40 year old virgin welcome
to smart tech how can I be of service to
you
Andy’s job as an electronic store clerk
at the age of 40 is not the only sign
his development has been arrested are
you hurt
when his colleagues find out he’s never
been with a woman they decide to help
him explore his manhood smart tech thus
becomes the physical setting in which
Andy is schooled in the ways of love and
sex you ever heard of the term buddy as
everyone who works there becomes
involved in helping him often leading to
hilarious situations
and probably shouldn’t be digging in
your ass number nine bad sentence do
some magic here what’s what you
disappear once you get over the shock of
seeing a very profane Santa on screen
you can sit back and enjoy Billy Bob
Thornton’s performance as Willy in this
black comedy Christmas film he’s an
alcoholic con man with a sex addiction
that poses as Santa Claus on Christmas
Eve to rob malls though the film
features a few other locations it’s
essentially at the mall where we witness
all the bad behavior and a series of
foul remarks which is all very fitting
for the holidays or not Jesus kid when I
was your age I didn’t need no gorilla
and I wasn’t as big as one of your legs
four kids beat me up one time I went
crying home to my daddy you know what he
did he made it all better
no he kicked my ass number 8 be kind
rewind after erasing all their tapes by
accident – video store clerks decide
that the only solution to save their
business is to reshoot the movies
requested by their customers themselves
walking down the street and you see a
little ghost what you gonna do about
ghosts what what what is that
that’s that Ghostbusters theme song the
comedy drama is an ode to the dying
technology of VHS tapes and a tribute to
film nerds everywhere this how you make
it look old
so fans get impression that is the old
film and the spring is by the scratch
you see if this doesn’t make you miss
renting movies we don’t know what will
I’m gonna rent ghostbusters ghostbusters
is that out I’m not a Whore
really yeah and that could be
interesting miss falafel wits it’s
actually a lot of nudity number seven
Empire Records Empire Records open till
midnight this is Marc why don’t all have
to check it’s the boss remember in the
90s when working at a record store was
the coolest job on earth
that’s what the characters of this 1995
sleeper hit think at least and they’re
trying their best to save their store
from being bought by a large chain aside
from the obvious feelings of nostalgia
the coming-of-age movie was actually
written by a former employee of Tower
Records number 166 a record store that
closed a decade after Empire Records
release number six the missed list if
your worst nightmare is to be stuck at
the local supermarket while monsters
roam outside then you will agree with
our next entry visit jammed up yeah
we’ll have the staff to the show plus
powers out after a severe thunderstorm
the inhabitants of Bridgeton Maine head
to the local grocery store to pick up
supplies but when a thick mist starts to
surround the town those who are already
inside the supermarket find themselves
trapped and tensions begin to rise oh
stop your chicken ship or I will cut
your chewing tongue house the result is
a sci-fi horror flick the director Frank
Darabont describes as less about the
monsters outside then about the monsters
inside Abraham prepared to sacrifice his
only son to prove his love for God so
number 5 Little Shop of Horrors
how about a musical comedy that takes
place in a flower shop and features a
groovy plant with the voice of Motown
legend levi stubbs
when nerdy florist Seymour discovers
that one of his new plants Audrey too
needs human blood to live
he becomes a local celebrity I wish you
folks at home could see this see more
where did you get such a weird flame
unfortunately he’s unaware of Audrey
twos plans for world domination we’re
not talking about one hungry plant here
we’re talking about world conquest with
music laughs and maybe some scares this
movie encompasses all genres into one
Little Shop of Horrors nature calls
number four – della T I own this store
called championship vinyl our next entry
is about a chronic list maker just like
us
number two on the top five all-time
breakup list was penny Hardwick penny
was a great looking and her top 5
recording artist with Carly Simon Carole
King James Taylor Cat Stevens and Elton
John Rob owns championship vinyl a
record store that he’s barely keeping
afloat and meanwhile he is also going
through a bad breakup no Rob that’s not
obvious enough not at all how about the
point of no return on point of no return
Louis say you can get the comedy-drama
perfectly combines music with his
personal top 5 breakups
despite his knowledge of sad pop songs
Rob is clueless when it comes to
relationships Marvin Gaye is responsible
for our entire relation oh is that so
like a word within them the record store
is where he muses over those and the
movie is essentially a coming-of-age
story for adults with an excellent
soundtrack i was just trying to cheer us
up so go ahead but on some old sad
bastard music see if I care
number three mole-rats now she’s gonna
be auctioned off on live TV from a mall
emo all right Zima show some respect in
this romantic comedy the mall is where
two best friends try to mend their
recently broken hearts no no there is
something out there that can help ease
our simultaneous double loss ritual
suicide no you idiot the mole they get
into all kinds of shenanigans including
an encounter with comic book magnates
Stan Lee holy shit unfortunately for
them they’re ex-girlfriends also have
business that brings them to the mall
the film tells a seemingly pointless
story but it eventually won the hearts
of fans and became a Kevin Smith classic
you called down the Thunder well now you
got it
security rowdy what
Jesus Christ you knocked him out number
two Dawn of the Dead shopping center
when I was big into her malls so far on
our list the mall has been a place for
Christmas craziness and for slacking off
after a break up in this 1978 George
Romero horror however a shopping mall
becomes a refuge from a much larger
threat than greedy Santa impersonators
and ex-girlfriends here
the danger is zombies a reporter his
girlfriend and two SWAT team members
attempt to escape via helicopter but
circumstances forced them to make a stop
at this secluded hideout however first
they must purge it from any remaining
flesh eaters in a critique of modern
consumerist society Romero uses them all
as a temporary paradise for his heroes
temporary being the key word here
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions may I ask who you
are
Kathleen Kelly I own this door and you
are Joe just call me Joe well take these
books this is work by the way my little
truffle bookshop what the am i doing
down here doing business in this
shithole mall but that’s Dobis
that’s the prior – Dobis get used to it
cuz this place is gonna change no one
clerks just beautiful just fish Oh
anything that moves our number one pick
is the film that revolves around a shop
okay keep track and wise that’s why
you’re jockeying to register in some
local convenience so instead of working
on a steady job Dante and Randall are
retail store clerks who hate their job
but do it anyway alright if you hate
this job and the people and the fact
that you have to come in on your day off
don’t you quit the comedy follows one
day in their lives showing us how they
annoy customers discuss relationships
and movies and even find some time to
play hockey on the roof I have a
responsibility here I can’t have
everybody grab him free drinks
responsibility what responsibilities or
closing a store to play hockey he’s
blood but he’s got a point nobody
expected this movie to become a cult
classic including director Kevin Smith
himself but thanks to its realism dark
humor and relatable characters that’s
exactly what happened the body can
maintain an erection after expiration
sometimes for hours did he have the
adult magazine when he came in I know I
gave a talk he asked me for it it also
spawned a prequel a year later which you
might remember from a couple of entries
ago
