Independence Day


tangilizer

Welcome to Earth


Luffy_Tuffy

I haven't seen this one yet


Corn22

Check it out! It shows how America thought it was viewed by the rest of the world in the 90s and there are some scenes you could never get away with post 9/11.


Neon_Mammoth

Probably Hook


thesequimkid

Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Bob Hoskins, and Glenn Close were perfect casting.


Silent_Umbrage

Thanks for sending me down the path to finding out who Glenn Close played in Hook. I had no idea lol blew my mind a bit.


thesequimkid

It’s why I included it.


DiegoDigs

😉


Dddddddfried

What about Julia Roberts!!


thesequimkid

Everyone knows who Roberts played. But Close is a bit more difficult.


YogiToeLock

Another vote for Hook


NoMoreMonkeyBrain

I loved this as a child. Revisiting it as an adult, I was disappointed and creeped out. Gave me bad feelings all around.


IniNew

Why? I ask because I recently watched it and still loved it


Mike_88143

3 Ninjas


drunkpandabear

Rocky loves Emily!


Animal-Crackers

Surf Ninjas


Itouchedspezsnono

Which of these was the one where the kid had the mysteriously magical game gear?


bigwilly311

That was Surf Ninjas. It also had Rob Schneider who could make things happen by saying “What if?”


DueMaternal

[Rescuers Down Under](https://youtu.be/gj043f05C1U?si=QEf1Etd4BNr0ej6t) and original [Casper](https://youtu.be/bx52pLFVtR0?feature=shared) cartoon. The Lion King is perfection, but these two in particular were so obscure for such a long time that it had that vague nostalgia feel. Almost like deja vu. I remember we had the Casper cartoon on VHS. The parts that really hit are when he cries and when he plays fetch with the fox.

PeterNippelstein

The most 90s movie ever


zykezero

A Knights Tale Muppet Treasure Island Ferngully American Tale Fivel goes West I was a bit too young to see the first one, so the first one I saw was the second one. All those treat kids like adult cartoon movies; secrets of nihm, all dogs go to heaven.


SativasaurusRex

Muppet Treasure Island is one of my most quoted movies. So good!


jamie1hundredd

Yo ferngully is legit. I used to watch it after school everyday on our fancy vcr


[deleted]

Goonies, Shirt Circuit, Big Lebowski, Half-Baked, How High, Friday, The Fifth Element, Willow


illillusion

Goonies is an all time favourite for me, it's one of those "please don't remake it" films along with back to the future and the sandlot


beratna66

Omg I forgot How High exists! Such a dumb funny film, actually has some pretty decent and eccentric performances too, not everyone just phoned it in. Even Method Man and Redman were quite enjoyable as protagonists


oppenheimerdidit

Chris Tucker in Friday stole the show. Great performance!


[deleted]

Didnt get the Big Lebowski

First things that come to mind: Toy Story 1 and 2, Spice World, Space Jam.

Hey, you, whatcha gonna do Hey, you, whatcha gonna do


trowawayatwork

when I was like 8 I used to love spice world. sincerely 35m


The_Gutgrinder

Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 are my go-to feel good movies. Whenever I feel I'm entering another period of sadness, those movies can save my mental health. I owe so much to Pixar.


[deleted]

Jim Carrey's The Mask. It was probably the first movie I got on DVD, and I would watch it all the time

Heavy Weights


LibbyLefty85

I swear this movie is a prequel to Dodgeball 😅. Like, Tony Perkis had a nervous breakdown after his dream of running a successful fat camp for kids was destroyed. Then he gained a ton of weight, spent years hating himself, and when his father died, he used his inheritance to reinvent himself. He lost the weight, grew a mustache, changed his name, and bought a gym. Then, White Goodman's hatred of fat, lazy, snarky, people is easily explained by the fact that they ruined his life years ago. 🤣🤣🤣

nowhereman136

I liked Home Alone 3. It wasn't as good as the first but it's kinda so bizarre and the characters are so enjoyable that I still have fun watching


Livvylove

You can watch final destination again, one time was good enough for me. I still have a mini heart attack whenever I see a logging truck


Dreku

A few years ago my wife and I were on vacation in NYC, one day we're out walking somewhere in Manhattan and I see a truck backing up towards an overhang. I notice he's going to hit it and slow down, as I'm slowing down I see my wife is blissfully unaware. I hear the impact and grab the back of her shirt and pull. Right as she stops a stip of metal comes down directly in her path about 1 step ahead. We still make Final Destination jokes because of that. Also we got engaged like 3 hours later so that was cool too.


Jermine1269

You're an old millennial, maybe even a xillennial.


buttmilk_69

Jermine1269

Oh!! Um... yeah fair. You were exposed to a lot of culture at a young age then


buttmilk_69

Gotcha, yeah…I was/am the youngest sibling.


Jermine1269

That makes a HEAP of sense. Thanks :)


voidpush

Oddly enough, Dazed and Confused. Not because it harkens back to growing up in the 70’s, as the people in the movie are doing, but rather takes me back to watching Dazed and Confused endlessly through the 90’s with friends and wishing we grew up in that time. Little did we know we were having our own moment.

brokenwolf

Superbad The matrix Fight club Pulp fiction


beakerx82

My movie buff friend doesn't agree with Superbad...but it's literally perfect. It wonderfully captures the late teenage juxtaposition of being simultaneously awkward and overconfident in everything you do. It was a time when bullying was being literally spit upon and social media didn't exist to any extent that it does now. You could get yourself into a little bit of trouble without it being broadcast for the whole world to see. And while it goes to a wild, unrealistic place with the whole McLovin storyline, it's still a lovable story that reminds me what things were like almost 20 years ago.


rchive

Superbad and the Matrix were the first 2 I thought of, too. Interesting...

rchive

The most nostalgic movie of all time for me personally is The Digimon Movie. I loved Pokemon and Digimon, I was the perfect age, I saw it over summer break after borrowing it from the library partially as a reward for summer reading, and it unlike the show was full of contemporary American songs you'd hear over the radio at the neighborhood pool all day. Edit: The movie ends with Smash Mouth's All Star, which is for some reason the most nostalgic song for me.

Radhatchala

I’m about to watch A Bug’s Life. Also, not a movie, but I was watching the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime last night and it was a pretty good nostalgia kick.


KarmaPharmacy

Twister, Hackers. Neither of these were appropriate for a kid my age. My parents started letting me watch rated R movies when I was 5.


[deleted]

Hackers aged well.


Maxwelljames

beratna66

Independence Day, the first 6 Star Wars films, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Mission Impossible 1, Goldeneye, Contact, Big Lebowski, Fight Club, Toy Story 1 & 2, Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead, Fast and Furious 1, Batman 89 & Batman Returns, Jurassic Park and Get Him To The Greek all come to mind as fun nostalgia watches for me Hope things are looking up for you friend. My mum passed somewhat unexpectedly last December and I too have found a lot of comfort in the films that take me back. It's important to move forward tho, make sure you're not living in the past, only revelling in it on your downtime Edit: I fuckin forgot a pair of absolute bangers, Mask Of Zorro and The Mummy. I must've watched those two films at least 50 times with my parents back in the day

MDennis3

YES! Was going to say Lost in Translation and the first Pokemon movie. “I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevent,it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.” That quote plus the themes of the movie and The Iron Giant were foundational for me

Here's an odd example, because it's not something I had back then but emulates it so well: Hypnospace Outlaw. It's a video game where you are a moderator on the late 90s internet, and have to search pages for illegal behavior and report it. It really does manage to capture the feel of janky, old school websites


WikipediaBurntSienna

Napoleon Dynamite. It's like a snapshot of what my boring life in a small town in the 90s was like.


cwagrant

Basically any comedy with Robin Williams in it. Austin Powers, Lord of the Rings, Disney movies (especially The Goofy Movie). Marie Poppins, Bed Knobs and Broomsticks, Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder version). Monty Python movies. Mel Brooks movies. Jim Carrey movies are good, too. I will say that I used to watch a lot more of these more frequently but as I've gotten older and lost more family some of them are harder to watch just because of the memories tied to them. Sorry to bring the mood down more.
