Empire Film Magazine

Empire Magazine is a British film magazine that was first published in July 1989 by Emap, later acquired by Bauer Media Group. It quickly became one of the most respected and widely read movie magazines in the world, known for its in-depth coverage of Hollywood blockbusters, independent cinema, and international films.

Empire features exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes stories, film reviews, and industry news, often providing deep dives into filmmaking and special effects. It also became famous for its annual rankings, including the Empire 500 Greatest Movies of All Time and Empire Awards, which celebrate the best in cinema as voted by readers.

Unlike many other print magazines that have shut down, Empire is still in publication today, both in print and online. It remains a major authority in film journalism, appealing to both casual moviegoers and dedicated cinephiles.
