How do you feel about a nostalgic 90s film made in the 10s?

I don't know about anyone else, but I could really go for a nostalgic 90s film similar to how the 80s have been treated in films like "The Wedding Singer", "Hot Tub Time Machine", etc.

Personally, I'm tired of seeing so many 80s films. I want to see 90s fashion, hairstyles, and trends in a cute self-aware way. Is that so strange?

It's bound to become popular any year now. A few of them already exist, actually.

Let's be honest, the nostalgia of any time period usually refers to the stuff from two decades before (e.g.: 50s nostalgia in the 70s, 60s in the 80s, etc.).

In other words, any day now.

They'll probably start coming out around now. Maybe a little bit more towards 2015 though. I think it would be interesting. This would also be the first decade that I remember.

Lol, I was about to say that there were tons of 80's nostalgia movies out in the nineties, but then I remembered that those were all actual reruns from the 80's. Oops.

We nineties kids got all the reruns.

I still cannot figure out a single thing that distinguished the 90s stylistically, so I'd welcome a film like this.

i wouldn't make it, though

You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!

• Grunge
• Mainstream acceptance of hip-hop
• A different kind of synthpop from the 80s
• Apathy
• Bill Clinton
• Romantic comedies
• Bill Clinton's wiener
• OJ Simpson
• Tom Hanks
• Coming-of-age movies (more so than the 80s)
• Sports movies (DEFINITELY more so than the 80s)
• Sports movies that were coming of age stories
• Endless sequels to The Land Before Time
• Nickelodeon
• Cartoon Network
• According to some demotivational poster a friend sent me yesterday, floppy disks
• The rise of the internet
• Kevin Smith
• The Macarena

Now combine that all into a movie.

OI'd like a movie like this to be a part of my repetoire.

This. Exactly what I'm talking about. I want to see that on the big screen.

More like "The OJ Simpson Trial"(and that white Ford Bronco police chase). No one remembers that OJ was a Heisman winning RB from Syracuse who played for the Bills and is in the Hall of Fame, and was in all three Naked Gun movies...

Except those who grew up in the 80s or earlier, and Football fans...

I would call Barbershop something of a 90's-esque movie made in the 00's, but I guess it is only vaguely and I suppose people hadn't really left the 90's mindset at the time of it's creation.

I will say this - black 90's culture was distinctive enough that I'd definitely recognize it immediately in a film. On television, I'd love to see something like Everybody Hates Chris about the 90's as apposed to the 70's.

An "Everybody Hates Chris" 90s show does sound pretty interesting.

They should make a movie about how Nickelodeon started to pretty much suck, or a movie about a kid in the 90's whose shunned for disliking Nirvana although he appears very grungy himself, so he is taunted by the ever-so 90's and early 2000's term "poser". or petty crime kids who still find leather jackets cool and sell stolen walkmen's and Cd's somehow ending up in a drug chain.

My PM box is always open to anyone who wants to talk/vent.

Or maybe about someone who wants to bring back Nickelodeon theaters

People don't still use the term poser today?

Maybe it's just because I have Kevin Smith on the brain right now, but the first thing I thought of with this was Jay and Silent Bob (even though they don't wear leather jackets).

Well, Kevin Smith is inspirational to me because he makes low budget films about silly things and a lot of people still really like them, but then again a lot of people don't like them, but that's how most things that make it big are.

The good of the nineties is outweighed by the bad. A film about something good from the nineties would be alright, a film about the 90s would be terrible, unless its goal was to remind everyone with a Nostalgia Filter why it was so bad, like Horrible Histories or Angry Video game Nerd.

Oh, come now, I'm sure there's someone from every decade who says that. You know how many people there are that say that the sixties sucked?

Part of me fears media of 90s nostalgia just for the potential for hack jokes you know will show up in it. A sitcom would be the worst:

Still waiting for a Legion of Losers movie...

B-but...I love those kinds of jokes. That's part of why I love Back To The Future so much!

Not saying it can't work, but I suspect so much potential for shallow parody and a lack of BTTF's charm that I have my doubts.

Still waiting for a Legion of Losers movie...

Eh, I still get a kick out of even the worst of those jokes either way.

I will admit to likely enjoying a sequence of some college student bringing up their essay on Osama Bin Laden and his/her family assuming that's the name of a soccer player.

So, pretty much a "That 90s Show?".

Thing is the 60s kind of were terrible. Where did you live in then? No matter, you saw assassinations, unwanted wars and whether it bugged you or not did not change the fact the two biggest bully nations could destroy the whole world in their crossfire should they ever go beyond posturing. Don't forget inflation, unemployment either or the fact colonialism was not far enough on its way out.

Godzilla was demoted to fighting King Kong and got an awful sidekick. That awful Casino Royal was showing along with Manos The Hands Of Fate, The Wild World Of Batwoman...this goes for any decade. We shouldn't pretend it was all Antonio Rocca and 2001 Space Odyssey.

But they did have The Beatles, safer drugs, and sexual liberation.
