90's Cult Flicks
Possibly the most 90's films ever, that age like your grandparents; they're unhealthy, racist and do not make any sense at all, but you still love em. Side Note: movies picked based on how much of a relic they are, not the quality (I liked the initial description but the morality of some of these are perfectly fine)

- DirectorAllan MoyleStarsAnthony LaPagliaDebi MazarMaxwell CaulfieldTwenty-four hours in the lives of the young employees at Empire Records when they all grow up and become young adults thanks to each other and the manager. They all face the store joining a chain store with strict rules.
- DirectorIain SoftleyStarsJonny Lee MillerAngelina JolieJesse BradfordTeenage hackers discover a criminal conspiracy with plans to use a computer virus that will capsize five oil tankers.One of my all time favorite movies and quite possibly the most 90's film ever made, Hackers is a mistunderstood masterpiece of 90's culture. Starring a pool of decade favorites with a soundtrack of the best dance music you will ever come across, Hackers is a hell of a ride. The NY visuals, the mumbo jumbo tech dialogue and the fucking swimsuit as normal day wear makes this a definitive 1990's movie.
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsChristopher LambertRobin ShouLinden AshbyThree unknowing martial artists are summoned to a mysterious island to compete in a tournament whose outcome will decide the fate of the world.The most definitive game-to-movie adaptation, MK captures the bat shit craziness of the violent video game and provides classic over-acting from actors who you never saw again. The plastic CGI and the house inspired soundtrack blends perfectly into this over the top 90's blockbuster.

- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsJason LondonWiley WigginsMatthew McConaugheyThe adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May 1976.I put this film in mainly due to the cast and cultural impact it had on films in the 90s.

- DirectorWes CravenStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid ArquetteA year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a masked killer who targets her and her friends by using scary movies as part of a deadly game.The film that reignited the horror genre and brought the teen aspect into it, Wes Craven's masterpiece impacted so much culturally. Featuring so many 90's teen stars, it's hard to count. Matthew Lillard (She's All That, Hackers), Neve Campbell (The Craft, Wild Things), Rose McGowan (The Doom Generation, Jawbreaker) and Jamie Kennedy (Romeo + Juliet, As Good As It Gets) all star in Craven's parodical tribute to the genre that made him famous.

Starring 90's veterans Val and Liz Shue, this Bond rip off that ends up being better than most 90's bond films actually displays a great amount of heart and effort in its manic plot. Watch for the vibe, not for the logic.
- DirectorJohn SingletonStarsJanet JacksonTupac ShakurRegina KingGrieving hairdresser Justice goes on a road trip from South Central L.A. to Oakland on a mail truck alongside her friend and an obnoxious postal worker.
- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsSophia LorenJulia RobertsMarcello MastroianniA chronicle of the interconnected lives of a group of people in the lead up to Paris Fashion Week.Literally a film thats purpose is to just to cash in on the popularity of models in the 90's, the plot is so thin that not even the models could be as thin. Yet that's what makes this a definitive 90's film. Cameo's from all of the biggest supermodels of the time (Christy Turlington, Carla Bruni, Helena Christensen etc) and boasts a cast of 90's classics like Julia Roberts (Notting Hill, Hook), Lili Taylor (I Shot Andy Warhol, The Addiction) and even Bjork. The film also features a soundtrack of 90's greats who had ties in the fashion industry such as U2 and CeCe Peniston.
- DirectorAlfonso CuarónStarsEthan HawkeGwyneth PaltrowHank AzariaModernization of Charles Dickens' classic story finds the hapless Finn as a painter in New York City pursuing his unrequited and haughty childhood love.Although not the most admired film, it shares many satisfying 90's elements. New York's stunning visuals mixed with the melodramatic strings (w/ a hint of breakbeat/downtempo beats), basically it's just a good vibe. I dunno, maybe I'll rethink this one later down the line, but as a romance it's a nice film, the chemistry is there, just not the coherent story. So vibe it up. Also it's about time I put a drama on this list, the 90's style of drama tended to carry over into the 00's, so a bit reluctant, but this film has many boxes ticked.
