Watching Twister on AMC (like you should be right now) and the enormous cell phone Jami Gertz whips out every time a tornado hits made me think about other movies that are so dated that they simultaneously take you back to childhood memories and make you cringe that those hairstyles were actually a thing. Looking strictly 90s here and Ill give you my top 5. 5. Space Jam (1996) This one is almost cheating because the players the Monstars rob of their talent were Barkley, Ewing, Larry grandmama Johnson, three foot tall Muggsy Bougues and twelve footer Shawn Bradley. Its superfluous to mention that MJ was the star, but does anybody else think the movie couldve been even better with Bill Murray teaming up with Bugs Bunny and drilling the Monstars into oblivion? Dont be shy about this. 4. Mrs. Dountfire (1993) Do you remember when Robin Williams used to be funny? ME TOO! There are so many quotes in this film that you dont catch when youre 7 that its almost like seeing the movie for the first time again when youre 27. Rumor has it that the dinner scene at Bridges was the most difficult to film, not because Williams had to constantly change clothes (Are you wearing ladies perfume?) but because Pierce Brosnan couldnt keep a straight face. Watch the scene and tell me you can. But try not to let the Guniness truck run over you. Bonus points: the cell phone Sally Field uses in the car...90s all day, every day. 3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) Edward Furlong, that 90s hair, Hasta La Vista Baby (the phrase reportedly grew four billion% in popularity after Arnold blew away the T-1000, the baddest mother to walk the Earth), Linda Hamilton looking like a man, Guns n Roses, the ATM scene, ...I could go on here but the important thing to remember is that this movie, while 90s in every way, introduced us to CGI, resulting in a decreased importance on plot in every action film from then on. 2. American Pie (1999) Webcams, Shannon Elizabeth being relevant, the Sherminator, Chris Klein and The Kid from King Arthurs Court acting in pretty much their only films. Dont let the fact that this was nearly 2000s fool you: its soooooo 90s that Alyson Hannigan wouldnt be known for HIMYM for another six years. To that point, only for that one time at band camp. 90s, we loved you. 1. Good Will Hunting (1997). Minnie Driver was cute, Ben Affleck hadnt gone from Gigli to Daredevil before going Super Eff-You Mode behind the camera to now Batman and Matt Damon was not yet the star of Team America. But...its the hair. Always has been, always will be. Its so dated just by looking at that alone that you kept waiting for the filmmakers to show a gas station with prices at like 80 cents or something.
