'CITY OF ANGELS' (1998)
It's like this movie's soundtrack was inside every one of our high school brains back then. Goo Goo Dolls and Alanis?! We'd rather have this movie than an eternity without it. (Reference!)

'CLUELESS' (1995)
"Clueless" is a comedy all children of the '90s can quote on command. It was also one of the most important movies ever when it comes to fashion, and the iconic film spawned some of the biggest trends of the decade. Who didn't want a mini-backpack or plaid skirt after seeing Cher and pals strut their high school stuff? To this day, this is the only movie to ever get away with pulling off purple clogs. Cher and pals infected our fashion and our lexicon in 1995. To this day, "Clueless" is the only reason why anyone ever uses "As if."

'POINT BREAK' (1991)
Swayze plus Keanu plus Lori "Where Is She Now?" Petty plus Xtreme Sports-lovin' bank robbers equals '90s movie heaven. *sips generously from a Zima

'ROMY AND MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION' (1997)
Nothing says '90s like a whole character's storyline revolving around cigarettes. Plus, the fashion is so '90s it's probably being sold at Forever 21 right now.

'SCREAM' (1996)
You know how I know you're so '90s, "Scream"? Skeet. Ulrich.

'THE CROW' (1994)
The "revenge from beyond the grave" story kinda holds up for the most part. But that soundtrack, though?! Stone Temple Pilots. Helmet. My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult?! *runs up and down steet like Key & Peele valets

'CHASING AMY' (1997)
Kevin Smith's first "Serious" movie was every freshman film school brat's "go to" back in the day. The near-constant use of reference-filled soliloquies that all the characters speak in was kinda novel then, but tired and dated now. But not as dated as Affleck's goatee or the appearance of a SEGA Genesis.

'THE LAWNMOWER MAN' (1992)
'Nuff said. The '90s loved some virtual reality.

'DISCLOSURE' (1994)
Arguably the most dated '90s film ever made. Watch as Michael Douglas races against time in a VR simulation where it takes 30 minutes ... to delete a file! Or where every new email arriving in his inbox is an EVENT -- complete with a spinning "e" icon. "Community" did a great job making fun of the decade's virtual reality craze at the center of this movie, which is supposedly about sexual harassment.

'REALITY BITES' (1994)
If this movie were any more '90s, your screen would spit out shirts from Pac Sun and Cranberries CDs the way Samara climbs out of the TV in "The Ring." And what is up with this poster calling out "credit cards"? Were the '90s that hard, Gen X?

'THE NET' (1995)
You know how I know you're so '90s, "The Net"? Everyone says aloud EVERYTHING that they type. This film's greatest contribution to how movies think computers "work"? Ordering a pizza online without ever speaking to a person. From a time when the internet was new and "scary," Sandra Bullock takes a backseat to weird zoom-ins on words like "mainframe" and "irl." Where something called an "internet number" exists and, never mind that, let's get back to this Pizza.net thing ...
