Personally I’d go with Independence Day if I had to pick a movie that felt the most 90s.
Clerks
Yall probably forgot about Hackers because it’s a documentary but it’s pretty 90s
Terminator 2 is in a weird spot since it’s a sequel to an 80s movie but is itself a 90s movie. But I’d nominate it for this award.
Back when it came out, 1996 seemed about the same as 2027 feels now. Near future, who knows what could be different.
It’s an interesting choice, because there was really no present-day sci fi tech in the movie save for a video game that articulated as the player flew a plane (which may have existed but I hadn’t seen before in 1992).
So they chose to make the movie take place in the present day technology-wise, but still in the future. Just slightly in the future.
Clueless, anyone?
It’s a 90s movie about the internet, but it’s all technobabble magic and represented in a very made-for-TV way. Just the right balance of interesting plot and complete cringe which is pretty much how I remember the 90s.
God that’s such a good movie. Probably gonna throw that on soon since haven’t watched it in years.
Can I add Johnny Mnemonic to this list? Classic Keanu
