To ask you for your top early 90s movie picks?

[dinopaws]

I watched Clueless last night on amazon prime and remembered how awesome 1994 was.

What are your top 1990s feel good movie recommendations? I need cult classics that really showcase the 90s in all its shell suited, permed, streaky blushered glory and make me feel like a kid again.

My first thought was Pump Up The Volume
California Man, anything Christian Slater/Keane/Brendan Fraser

It's not set in the early 90s but it was made then and is a joy - The Commitments
Ditto Newsies

BIG...technically late 80's but I think falls into the right genre.

Dances with Wolves
True Romance
Reality Bites
Age of Innocence

argh, sorry realise you don't want historical.

Boyz in the Hood

90s definitely the best decade for films AND music.

My favs,

The Lost Boys
Drop Dead Fred
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile (only just 90s)

Heathers
Dead poets society

Pulp Fiction.

Probably Hopefully won't make you feel like a kid again though...

Heathers and Lost Boys both late 80's. Both great films.

If we're allowing late 80s then may I offer up Stand By Me?

The Doors
The Commitments
The Hard Way
Cape Fear
Dying Young

All films I remembered loving back then.

Wow - enough late 80s/90s gold here to keep me entertained until autumn!

LOVE Brendan Fraser. Have also remembered Weird Science, Bill & Ted, Young Einstein (though late 80s).

Thank you all

Not a 90s film but you can't beat top gun in my eyes

Lifeofpies

I honestly can't remember anything that happens in it, other than watching it is like being beaten round the head by the early 90s.

Bio-dome just squeezes in at 1996

If we're drifting into late 80s, I would also mention Heathers, which is totally early 90s in style and attitude, even though it came out in 1988.

Philadelphia

Romy and Michele's highschool reunion

Leon
Kalifornia
Thelma and Louise
The Basketball Diaries
Muriel's Wedding
While You Were Sleeping

I agree with Heathers if allowing 80s films, one of my favourite films ever!
