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.

Late 80s/early 90s is what DP and I consider to be the best era of films. Can't see any I like that haven't already been mentioned so placemarking for inspiration.

IndianaMoleWoman · 29/07/2017 20:48

Hackers!

Mid-90s Angelina Jolie film with woefully out of date (now) technology and fashions, brilliantly zeitgeisty soundtrack and hilarious baddy.

PoppyFleur · 29/07/2017 20:50

White Men can't jump was a really entertaining film that no one I speak to has ever watched!

Other favs include:
Flat liners
Point break
