Personally I’d go with Independence Day if I had to pick a movie that felt the most 90s.

      While reading up on The Last Boy Scout, I found this:

      Shane Black and Tony Scott both expressed dissatisfaction with the final film, and said in later years how the original script was far better. Scott accused Joel Silver of interfering with the production and swore off working with the producer again. His next film, True Romance, features an unflattering film producer character patterned after Silver.

    I had a “back to the 90s” chill day with my brother this spring. Johnny Mnemonic got us in the feels the hardest :).

      Just rewatched that as well. Some of my favorite parts:

      • It’s set in 2021
      • His brain implanted hard drive holds a whopping 80GB. He uses a “doubler” to increase his capacity to 160GB. The whole plot of the movie is that he loads 320GB in, which leaks into his brain, and he has to get it back out before it kills him.
      • The encryption key to the data is photos of a tube television screen that have to be faxed to the recipient.
      • One futuristic aspect to his hotel room is that the TV wakes him up with a personal message on screen and then he uses it for a video call.
      • The local rebels are a group called the Low-Teks - led by Ice-T. They end up having the highest end tech.
      • The best doctor around is Henry Rollins.

        Johnnys head would probably explode if he even heard of the data storage clusters I was working with on a daily basis in 2021.

    Speed or mallrats depending on what kind of vibe you’re going for

    edit: upon reflection I will change my Sandra bullock movie to “the net”. Terrible, but strong 90s vibes

        Yep, it’s really a lot of fun. A little hard on some parts of both southern culture and NY culture, but just enough to make it even funnier. Not just Pesci as a lawyer and all the lawyer jokes; making a judge out of Fred Gwynne so he could make all those facial expressions he’d perfected was a casting winner. So was Marisa Tomei. And the characters that played witnesses … to this day when I’m saying ‘I guess’ it always comes out with that drawl. Every scene in the film was comical first, and never let up. Masterpiece.

          Couldn’t agree more. I’m a car, guy so the fact that the final argument hinged on that was aces. And I think my favorite part was just a little things that happened at the beginning. Most people wouldn’t even notice, but when the prison guard brought Vinny to the jail cell, Vinny have him a tip. Just cracked me up!

          Fun fact, did you know Maria Tomei won the Oscar for her performance? Totally deserved it.
