Some of the best movies of our time were produced in the decade I was born. Whether you have seen them 100 times already or not even once, sit back, relax and enjoy the greatest films of the “90s.
“American Pie” (“99)
You can”t go wrong with a classic. Along with his unconventional circle of friends, Jim (Jason Biggs) learns how complicated senior year, girls, friendships and prom night can really be in this hilarious high school comedy. P.S. You will never look at pie the same again.
“10 Things I Hate About You” (“99)
In this quintessential 90″s rom-com, two teens (Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles) fall for one another under completely different circumstances. Loosely based on a Shakespeare classic, this film will make you fall in love with high school all over again.

“Good Will Hunting” (“97)
This is the touching story of a blue-collar janitor at MIT (Matt Damon) who finds that he is a mathematical genius. With a little help from a curious professor and a shrink (Robin Williams), he finds his way. It is the perfect college underdog story anyone can relate to.
“Titanic” (“97)
You can never go wrong with Jack and Rose (Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet). This cinematic wonder is the epitome of love stories, depicting a high-class passenger finding hope in a third-class artist. It is the perfect movie to indulge in fictionalized and romanticized history this fall.
“Jerry Maguire” (“96)
In this dramatic comedy, a high-end sports agent hits rock bottom after expressing his life-changing epiphany to his boss. In the cruel world of sports management, Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) must stick with a hot-tempered, up-and-coming football star, and “show him the money” (the best phrase to emerge from the “90s).
“Forrest Gump” (“94)
Life is like a box of chocolates, and this film is just as great. Follow Forrest (Tom Hanks), a kind-hearted Southerner, who can find the good in just about any situation. Spanning over several decades, this captivating motion picture will keep you watching every second of the way.
