To ask you to recommend me your favourite feel good 90s film?

[Nostalgia1990]

The clothes. The hair. The music. I loved the 90s and want to be transported back this evening via the medium of film!

Please recommend me a film that ticks all my nostalgia boxes.

Practical Magic

Only You. On Prime, but only for four more days.

Not a film but Derry Girls. 2 series and a fab 90s soundtrack.

Was Forrest Gump not a 90s film?

L.A. Story.

I was about to go to bed. Now I want to stay up all night watching 90s movies, which I did all the time in the 90s.

I’ll add Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Cafe to the list as my contribution.

Some great ideas! Will definitely make 14yo DD watch Reality Bites with me tomorrow.

Someone mentioned My So Called Life upthread. I loved that show as a teenager. Any ideas where you can watch it? I've not been able to find it anywhere :(

if you're going as far as 2002, the fabulous "8 Women" - brilliantly daft, I can still remember laughing through it at the cinema with some brilliant friends I've long since lost touch with.
Although based on a 1950's play, so the styles and fashion more from then, but seriously brilliant and definitely worth watching if you've not seen it.

And there's the excellent Go Fish.

Strictly Ballroom
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Austin Powers
The Full Monty
East is East

@fassnk

The truth about cats and dogs

Love that film! ❤️

Another for clueless but if I tried to watch it now at 45 I would be annoyed by it, like I tried to do with the breakfast club

@MoFoFlo I’ve got a box set of DVDs. I’ve just googled and there are a few available. Still as good as ever!

Not quite 90’s as released in 1988 but one of my all time favourites is Mystic Pizza.

Already mentioned but Strictly Ballroom and The Truth about Cats and Dogs are fab

People have mentioned My So Called Life, but I send to love Heartbreak High as the Aussie equivalent - anyone remember that?

You could always watch the Crystal Maze! That was pretty 90's.

Not sure if it is a feel good film, but I recall What's Eating Gilbert Grape as a bit of a 90's indie film.

Used to love, not send to love
