90s film recommendation for 16yr old

[Tapoopoo]

Over the last few weeks DD16 and I have watched a film or a series together a few times a night.

I'm not a big TV person (we wouldn't have one at all if it was up to me) but this has been lovely. She normally just hisses at me or asks for money so I'm enjoying this before normal behaviour resumes. 🤣

What films/series would you recommend?
She is quite eclectic and I dont care but some 90s films would be good to relive my youth.

She likes:
Fallout series
Schitts Creek
Heartbreakers
Pitch Perfect
Fallout Guy
Sliding Doors (this was left field but she really loved it!)

She didn't like
Warm Bodies
Shakespeare In Love
Top Gun
Dirty Dancing

I'm trying to get her to watch The Last of Us and Stranger Things but she's refusing on principle because we wouldn't let her watch them when they first came out.

Gross Pointe Blank

Films
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Galaxy Quest
Series
This Life

Not sure I would want to watch Cruel Intentions with my mum!!

the line “you can put it anywhere.” And the kiss with the salvia. I think I would have died watching that at 16 with my mum 🙊

City Slickers
While You Were Sleeping
Brassed Off
Full Monty
Shakespeare in Love
Leon
Fith Element

Some black comedies/offbeat:
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
Death Becomes Her
Le Dîner de Cons (The Dinner Game)
Delicatessen
Micmacs
Amelie
Goodbye Lenin
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
12 Monkeys
The Big lebowski

Not 90s (2001-2011), but I recently rewatched Smallville on Netflix! I had just finished watching XO Kitty with my 16 year old daughter, and it just started playing. She refused to watch it. She hates anything with even a teeny bit of blood in it!

Films:
Clueless
Romy and Michelle's HS Reunion
Bring It On
10 Things I Hate About You
Empire Records
Dazed and Confused (set 70s, made 90s)

For TV:
Dawson's Creek

The OC and Gilmore Girls if you want to venture into the 2000s

Oh and Frasier! If she enjoys more intellectual and farcical comedy. I've rewatched many times and I think it ages well.

Heathers!

My so called life
Reality bites
Before Sunrise

Also agree you:
Romeo and Juliet
Ten things I hate about you
Cruel intentions

Actually Dawson's Creek is probably too cringe to watch with a parent 😆 I loved the over earnestness as a teen though.

Brilliant and brilliantly watchable movies:
My Cousin Vinnie
The Big Lebowski
Terminator 2
High Fidelity (y2000, but I see people are recommending Ferris Bueller - late 80s!)

Twin Peaks is well worth the commitment.

Just be warned - a lot of the 80s stuff has not aged well!

I watched Sixteen Candles with my 14yo DD recently and her jaw was dropping at the casual racism, homophobia, sexist stereotypes and really problematic treatment of consent ... of course I hadn't remembered any of this and thought it was just a fun teen romcom ...

Late 80's films

Weekend at Bernie's
Mannequin

Would also suggest
Clueless
Groundhog Day
The Truman Show
Speed
Drop dead Fred
Beetlejuice
Free Willy
Beverley Hills Cop 1&2 (3 was a bit naff)

Wow! So many recommendations! Many of which I've never seen myself and many I will love watching again.

It's always interesting/shocking when you rewatch a childhood favourite with adult eyes.

I rewatched Party of Five a few years ago and still (mostly) enjoyed it. I did spend a disproportionate amount of time laughing at all the male characters continually brushing their curtains out of their eyes. It was THE hairstyle to have growing up and all the girls seemed to love it, myself included.

I was thinking about Skins.

I remember quite enjoying it and although there were various adult topics, I was sure it was shown on a weekend morning so couldn't be that bad. I've just googled it and it is a lot more adult than I remember and definately not shown on Sunday mornings! 🤣

Bhcop 3 is the worst 😫, I did enjoy the new one that was on Netflix recently

Something I forgot to mention and i don’t think anyone else has mentioned is the series Sweet Valley High. That was very 90s! Think it was shown on a Saturday morning.

Grease (obvious choice)
back to the future

We’ve just started watching heroes! It was an early 2000’s show we loved. My child has just spend 20 minutes coming up with theories after watching the first 2

Knights Tale.

Look right down in a crowded hall, there's a beauty standing there, is she really everywhere or a reflection 🎶 🎵

That’s so nostalgic 🥰 I remember they were always rollerblading and had that red soft top Jeep. And there was a racy episode where someone painted a portrait of Jessica and when the portrait was unveiled he’d depicted her in the nude. I think it would be cancelled if shown today.

Now we've bought a turntable, the kids have listened to my vinyl copy of the soundtrack. I loved Christian Slater so much back then
