The Most 90's Film of All Time

Inspired by this guy

What do you think could be the most 90's movie? To qualify, it must mostly be an Unintentional Period Piece, have actors associated with the 90's, negative reactions to homosexuality, outdated technology, bad fashion, etc. Currently his Most 90's Film is Houseguest. [1] Here's his "review".

Power Rangers The Movie deserves a honor mention.

But they don't have any real "name" actors in that movie. Maybe you could argue Paul Freeman or Amy Jo Johnson, but there's not many faces familiar to people who didn't watch the show.

I'd suggest Space Jam.

Yes, Space Jam. You hardly get more deep-down Nineties (unless you define Nineties as more early-90s, with a lot of the old late eighties tropes built in)

Airborne. The Nostalgia Critic even described as "an ad for the 90s."

Did Saved By The Bell ever have a movie?

Only a pair of TV movies, I think.

It counts!

Spice World or Tank Girl for me.

Jurassic Park?

The Matrix?

Toy Story?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Happy Gilmore?

Dumb & Dumber?

Home Alone?

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective?

Kindergarten Cop?

Men in Black?

Austin Powers?

Super Mario Bros.?

Tommy Boy?

Mystery Men?

Junior?

Honey I Blew Up the Kid?

Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back?

Baby Geniuses?

Jingle All the Way?

Nutty Professor?

Arachnophobia?

The Santa Clause?

Clueless?

Gone With the Wind is the most 90s movie ever.

No Gay Panic, but Independence Day.

It's hard to think of a film with a more stereotypically 90s feel than Clueless.

Clerks.

Air Force One is definitely a reflection of the political nineties and that post-Soviet wave.

Oh, if TV movies count, I'm tossing my hat in for the Baywatch one.

I'm not entirely familiar with the gay panic in movies or media in the ninties

I grew up in the 90s and I don't remember it. I remember the movie Philadelphia coming out and I had one conservative teacher who called it "The worst problem our nation faces today" but for the most part no one talked about it and most of the movies had a message of tolerance.

I don't think their was "gay panic" per se, but it was definitely usually treated either as a joke or something really weird.

Gay characters that weren't walking stereotypes or the butt of a joke were pretty rare.

You know, something just occured to me. Comedies seem to be the kind of movie that dates the easiest

It's always a crutch. Probably because being overly topical does date your movie considerably.

Then again, the solution is to not be too topical: Airplane may have jokes about Gerald Ford and disco but it's still funny as hell, even now.

Monty Python's movies still stand tall. In fact, like wine, they tend to get better as years go by.

Bill And Ted have aged well, too. Mostly because they avert Unintentional Period Piece by seemingly doing it intentionally. And the moral of "Be excellent to each other/party on dudes!" is pretty timeless.
