These Are the 100 Best 90s Movies By Jason Kessler, Stacker News On 5/3/21 at 8:00 PM EDT The 1990s represent a magical decade in pop culture history. The O.J. Simpson trial, gangster rap, Must See TV, grunge music, and Friends dominated water cooler conversations, while the internet was just beginning to grab the attention of the world and hit college computer labs. While all of this was happening, incredible movies from big-budget blockbusters to quiet love stories were being released nea...

In the early 90s, we didn’t have Starbucks and Pearl Jam was still known as Mookie Blaylock. Huh? We didn’t use the Internet for everything (yet), and AOL was king. Google wasn’t even invented until 1998 (though didn’t officially become a verb until 2006); instead, we had Ask Jeeves, Alta Vista, Netscape, Lycos, Earthlink, MindSpring, or Yahoo (among others) to search the mysterious, new World Wide Web.  We also saw the birth of email, or Email, or e-mail, or E-mail; yes, it took a wh...

Neil Jordan has cough-cough years on me, but, over the previous 12 months, we seem to have mutated into variations on the same grizzled, spectacled hermit “How is that beard coming?” he asks.

The first movie my partner and I watched together was The Silence of the Lambs. It was one of her favorites, I hadnt seen it in a while, it just happened to be on TV, and so we watched it. Partway through the film, she turned to me and said, "Are you going to be OK watching this?" I looked at her, confused. I didnt know what she meant. "Yknow," she said, "because Bill... with the women." At this point, I should probably mention that Im transgender. But I was still surprised at my partners conc...

Theres a 1950s genre of films that asked to be decoded through a gay lens. They undermined the conventional view of straight, middle-class American life, inviting the irony of outsiders (homosexual or not). Their glamorous, overwrought heroines were role models for the emerging camp sensibility.

Like "Pretty Woman," a movie it resembles in subtle ways, "Indecent Proposal" is a fantasy about characters who are allowed to try out amorality and see if they like it.
