What it's about: "Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking order. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other." —IMDb

Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Paul Rudd

Fan review: "When I’m feeling nostalgic for my high school years, I watch it. I loved how it took place on the West Coast in Southern California, which during the early to mid-1990s was a major spot for alternative music, punk rock, hip hop, and skateboarding culture. Even for its time, I thought it dealt with issues of class, race, and gay identity in a respectful and brilliantly comic way. There are too many classic lines and scenes to repeat. But one thing I always remember is the outstanding soundtrack! They really put together a solid playlist. 'Rolling with the homies…'" —u/Indie_Fjord_07

What it's about: "The adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May 1976." —IMDb

Starring: Jason London, Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Anthony Rapp

Fan review: "One of my all-time favorites. It’s an incredible movie — so many interwoven storylines, all of which achieve small profundities in their ordinariness. The film catches myriad little details of what it means to be a teenager perfectly. It’s set in Texas in 1976, but it’s also set in everybody’s high school experience, both the archetype characters who transcend their time and place, and in the overall feel communicated for that period of life. It’s also hysterical, the writing is top-notch, and the soundtrack is amazing. Dazed and Confused birthed multiple quotes that have entered the general lexicon." —u/j2e21

What it's about: "The history of the United States from the 1950s to the '70s unfolds from the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, who yearns to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart." —IMDb

Starring: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, Sally Field

Fan review: "It’s a perfect movie, in my opinion. Flawless acting, amazing visuals, groundbreaking special effects, and they never interfere with the story or characters. A great homage to history and Americana." —u/KintsugiExp

What it's about: "Identical twins Annie and Hallie, separated at birth and each raised by one of their biological parents, discover each other for the first time at summer camp and make a plan to bring their wayward parents back together." —IMDb

Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, Elaine Hendrix, Lisa Ann Walter, Kat Graham

Fan review: "Absolutely understandable. The movie offers a fresh perspective on the book and is my favorite Erich Kästner adaptation. Lindsay is just *chef kiss*. And yes, even with some outdated tropes, it is an absolute comfort movie. The original novel may be from 1949, but one can tell this story in any timeline." —u/adamtheundead

What it's about: "A high-school boy, Cameron, cannot date Bianca until her anti-social older sister, Kat, has a boyfriend. So, Cameron pays a mysterious boy, Patrick, to charm Kat." —IMDb

Starring: Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Oleynik

Fan review: "Honestly, just a perfect film from my childhood.10 Things I Hate About You, She’s All That, and American Pie were like the trifecta from 1999 that defined becoming a teenager for me. Such a powerful nostalgia in all of them. And then Not Another Teen Movie came out two years later at the perfect time when I was becoming more cynical and mad at the world, it was an incredible time for teen movies." —u/blumdiddlyumpkin

What it's about: "It's Friday, and Craig and Smokey must come up with the $200 they owe a local bully, or there won't be a Saturday." —IMDb

Starring: Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Nia Long, Tiny "Zeus" Lister Jr., Regina King, Anna Maria Horsford, Bernie Mac, John Witherspoon

Fan review: "I fucking LOVED this film. I love how the whole movie was made out of one day's events. The dialogue was fantastic, and the chemistry between the two was superb. I actually cared for all the characters and was invested in these people very quickly. Also, I noticed a couple of lines that I have heard referenced or seen in memes, so it's good to have finally seen this! Definitely has rewatch potential." —u/TheRelicEternal

What it's about: "Four teenage boys enter a pact to lose their virginity by prom night." —IMDb

Starring: Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Alyson Hannigan, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge

Fan review: "Great movie. Some might argue that it's stereotypical, not that original, or whatever, but it is exactly what it needs to be. It has enjoyable characters, and even if your high school was nothing like this, like mine, it still feels like a legit high school experience, even though you know it's over the top. I honestly don't know what could be improved about it." —u/CrazyGunnerr

What it's about: "A cowboy doll is profoundly jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as the top toy in a boy's bedroom. When circumstances separate them from their owner, the duo have to put aside their differences to return to him." —IMDb

Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Annie Potts, John Ratzenberger, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Jim Varney

Fan review: "A perfect film. The animation has aged staggeringly well, and even the stuff that hasn’t, what few examples there are, have so much charm. Great writing, great acting, great music, it’s got something for people of all ages. None of the sequels have topped it in my own opinion." —u/BoneMachine92

What it's about: "After a woman leaves a briefcase at the airport terminal, a dumb limo driver and his dumber friend set out on a hilarious cross-country road trip to Aspen to return it." —IMDb

Starring: Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Lauren Holly, Karen Duffy, Mike Starr, Charles Rocket, Teri Garr

Fan review: "Watching Dumb and Dumber for the umpteenth time, and it is a literal masterpiece! Jim Carrey was firing on all cylinders and at the peak of his game. Jeff Daniels was the perfect foil to act off of Jim's hilarity and really held his own and wasn't overshadowed at all. It is also one of the most quotable movies of all time, and it always gets laughs no matter how many times I watch it. The soundtrack is also absolutely perfect and complements the movie so well. Honestly, I use this film as a comedy litmus test when meeting new people to gauge how well I'll get along with them!" —u/anonymous 

What it's about: "During World War II, sisters Dottie and Kit join the first female professional baseball league and struggle to help it succeed amid their own growing rivalry." —IMDb

Starring: Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Jon Lovitz, David Strathairn, Garry Marshall, Bill Pullman

Fan review: "I love this movie so very much...and I usually *hate* sports movies. I've seen it a few times. The acting and action are so real, vivid, and convincing; I feel invested the entire time. I cared about all of their stories, individually and as a team. Penny Marshall is one of the least recognized directors and comedians of all time." —u/Kevin_Turvey

What it's about: "Stella is a highly successful, forty-something San Francisco stockbroker who is persuaded by her colorful New York girlfriend Delilah to take a well-deserved, first-class vacation to Jamaica." —IMDb

Starring: Angela Bassett, Taye Diggs, Whoopi Goldberg, Regina King

Fan review: "The film touches on aspects of love/romance/relationships, aspects of fatherhood/separating, aspects of business, aspects of passion/purpose, and aspects of friendship, amongst other points. I like the film. I think the acting partners work well together in the film. I think the film is a real chill watch and a light feel-good film in the end." —u/OulsiuenBeneigr

What it's about: "A man gets a chance to meet up with his dream girl from high school, even though his date with her back then was a complete disaster." —IMDb

Starring: Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon, Lee Evans, Chris Elliott

Fan review: "This movie kills me. There’s never a dull moment. It’s just quality humor the entire time. I really can’t think of any other films that had me laughing out loud from beginning to end. Maybe one of Chris Farley’s films comes close, but to me, this is one of the best comedies of all time." —u/anonymous

What it's about: "An insurance salesman begins to suspect that his whole life is actually some sort of reality TV show." —IMDb

Starring: Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Ed Harris, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone, Holland Taylor, Paul Giamatti

Fan review: "Jim Carrey puts it all on the line here. He has his classic goofiness, but he’s also vulnerable, emotional, real, and conflicted. The pacing from start to finish is perfect, and it does not taper, culminating to an epic finale that should have EVERYONE in tears of joy, sadness, and relief. The Truman Show manages to accomplish full character development in less than two hours, while most TV shows take entire seasons to flesh somebody out. It’s such a rare occurrence to be this thoroughly invested in a character in such a short amount of time, as his world begins to literally crumble around him. Truly a remarkable film! My only regret is that I can’t watch it for the first time ever again." —u/Coash

What it's about: "An industrialist invites some experts to visit his theme park of cloned dinosaurs. After a power failure, the creatures run loose, putting everyone's lives, including his grandchildren's, in danger." —IMDb

Starring: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough

Fan review: "I watched it for the 30th time recently, but with about a 15-year gap between. It had me on the edge like it was 1993 all over again. Just a masterpiece. Even the visuals hold up exceptionally well." —u/HomeOrificeSupplies

What it's about: "An F.B.I. Agent goes undercover to catch a gang of surfers who may be bank robbers." —IMDb

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey, Lori Petty

Fan review: "I always recommend this film. It's such a fun time at the movies. Awesome action scenes from shootouts, chases, surfing, and skydiving. A little bit for everyone. Keanu and Swayze are incredibly hot and badass in this film. That foot chase scene! I've honestly never heard anyone say it was a bad film after I recommended it." —u/oldschoolbishop

What it's about: "An Arkansas waitress and a housewife shoot a rapist and take off in a '66 Thunderbird." —IMDb

Starring: Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, Brad Pitt

Fan review: "This movie is thrilling, sad, emotional, empowering, and has so much heart. It’s STILL as amazing as it was the first time I watched it. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon are so convincing and believable. Great story, great character arcs, amazing cinematography. Amazing acting. What else could you ask for? Fantastic from beginning to end. A+" —u/Inevitable_Ball_3856

What it's about: "The aliens are coming, and their goal is to invade and destroy Earth. Fighting superior technology, mankind's best weapon is the will to survive." —IMDb

Starring: Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Mary McDonnell, Judd Hirsch, Margaret Colin, Randy Quaid, Vivica A. Fox

Fan review: "Lovable, cheesy, but very fun film. Huge event flick at the time. Will Smith in his prime of likability. Goldblum was effective. Funny old Jew father. Awesome actor who plays the president. Some of the effects with the smaller alien craft and clear model work for the F-18s are dated, but the rest is dope. The Area 51 stuff was creepy as hell. And believable based on current events. My fave part is the 'got me dragging your ass through the desert... I could’ve been at a BBQ! And what the hell is that smell?' Also, funny enough, testimonials of encounters say they smell like the worst putrid sulfur and ammonia. Still love that flick... [My] fave hostile alien invasion movie ever." —u/anonymous

What it's about: "A world-class playboy and part-time secret agent from the 1960s emerges after thirty years in a cryogenic state to battle with his nemesis Dr. Evil." —IMDb

Starring: Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York, Robert Wagner, Seth Green, Mindy Sterling

Fan review: "This movie is a cult classic in my family. My mom actually worked on it when I was young and met Mike Myers and plenty of the other people involved. My parents absolutely loved the movie, and despite the adult content, they felt they had to let my sister and me watch it because they enjoyed it so much (we were 8 and 6 when it came out). We watched each of the AP films millions of times as a family, and some of the quotes still get repeated to this day. I remember, for some reason, my mom had a full-size cardboard stand-up Austin Powers that stood in our house for many years and was well-known to all who visited. Fuck I have to rewatch them!" —u/FrismFrasm

What it's about: "Two storm chasers on the brink of divorce must work together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes." —IMDb

Starring: Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, Cary Elwes

Fan review: "This is my ultimate comfort film. The chemistry between the whole team is amazing: Bill Paxton is the ultimate everyman, the sweeping shots of small-town America make me want to visit it so badly, and the special effects still hold up today. IT'S THE WONDER OF NATURE, BABY!" —u/james2183

What it's about: "At an archaeological dig in the ancient city of Hamunaptra, an American serving in the French Foreign Legion accidentally awakens a mummy who begins to wreak havoc as he searches for the reincarnation of his long-lost love." —IMDb

Starring: Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo

Fan review: "It's like one of the best movies I have seen. A perfect combination of action, adventure, horror, and comedy, all done in two hours. Just Beni being Beni is hilarious. That scene where he prays to all religions, LOL. And the soundtrack is amazing... [I] think it is severely underrated." —u/123KidHello

What it's about: "James, an NYC cop, is hired by Agent K of a secret government agency that monitors extraterrestrial life on Earth. Together, they must recover an item that has been stolen by an intergalactic villain." —IMDb

Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rip Torn

Fan review: "Great sci-fi comedy with CGI that holds up well enough for being 25+ years old. Engaging, well thought-out story kids can watch, some adult humor sprinkled in, and some really great pieces of dialogue." —u/boomheadshot7

What it's about: "Stranded in 1955, Marty McFly learns about the death of Doc Brown in 1885 and must travel back in time to save him. With no fuel readily available for the DeLorean, the two must figure out how to escape the Old West before Emmett is murdered." —IMDb

Starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Mary Steenburgen, Thomas F. Wilson, Lea Thompson

Fan review: "It's my favorite of the series. As perfect as the first film is, Part III has that as its backstory and is filled with so much love as we know these characters and explore them on a deeper level than ever before. The relationships are already set, and we can truly feel that history and the weight of their journey's end. The atmosphere and feel are very warm and nostalgic. There's a calm to it that allows us to sit and wonder with these characters at the awe of it all — of life and the beauty of time and how it changes us." —u/XyberVoX

What it's about: "An American agent, under false suspicion of disloyalty, must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization." —IMDb

Starring: Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, Emmanuelle Béart, Jean Reno, Ving Rhames, Kristin Scott Thomas

Fan review: "I love the original Mission: Impossible movie. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved it. Fuck knows why — I didn't have a clue what the plot was about when I was 6. But when I was a kid, watching Ethan Hunt descend from the ceiling by a wire and clinging onto a super-fast train was the thrill of my life. Only recently, after rewatching MI: Fallout on Netflix, did I realize that I hadn't seen the first film for a good long while... [I] resolved to sit down and watch it again, and holy-fucking-shit. I'm still not entirely sure *now* that I know what's happening in the story. But goddamn, even in its weird moments, this film is magnificent." —u/stemh18

What it's about: "An extortionist bomber rigs a Los Angeles city bus to explode if its speed drops below 50 mph, forcing a young cop and a female passenger to keep it moving and save everyone on board." —IMDb

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, Joe Morton, Jeff Daniels

Fan review: "I rewatched it today after ages and was surprised by how well-constructed it is. There's no ounce of fat or incessant exposition in the movie. It tells you what the situation is and sets up the pieces for showing up. Take the opening elevator scene, for example. In most films, it would have been a finale, but Speed treats it as a warm-up act compared to what's about to follow. I know it's been called Die Hard on a bus, but in all honesty, it's one of the best action movies ever." —u/TheDudeWithNoName_

What it's about: "Bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is transformed into a manic superhero when he wears a mysterious mask." —IMDb

Starring: Jim Carrey, Peter Riegert, Peter Greene, Amy Yasbeck, Richard Jeni, Cameron Diaz

Fan review: "I loved this movie, but oh my gosh, I felt exhausted during and after finishing it because of how much the titular character was taking out of me, and I am saying this as a very, very good thing. It was the kind of exhaustion you get from laughing so hard. He made good use of his screentime every time he was onscreen. I joked to my dad that it felt like '90s Cocomelon, but I obviously mean this in jest, since this movie has loads more substance. I still can’t believe they got most of these jokes under the radar. 'Spread your pâté,' oh boy 😭😭." —u/Melodic-Bee-853

What it's about: "John McClane is forced out of suspension to play a game of 'Simon Says' by a terrorist who has planted bombs all around New York City and will detonate them if McClane doesn't do what he says." —IMDb

Starring: Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons, Samuel L. Jackson, Graham Greene, Colleen Camp

Fan review: "It's my favorite Die Hard, and in my top five favorite action movies ever. It's got everything you want out of an action movie, but the biggest takeaway for me is how fucking funny it is because of the bantering between Willis and Jackson. It's not cringey forced humor that we see so often today; it felt natural and in line with their characters and just worked. A classic and one of the defining movies of the '90s, in my opinion. I rewatch it at least once a year." —u/Suspicious_Guide4286

What it's about: "An idealistic porn producer aspires to elevate his craft to an art when he discovers a hot young talent." —IMDb

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Fan review: "Loved every f------ second of it. Incredible characters, great writing. The Alfred Molina scene is an all-timer. Incredible soundtrack as well. Career-best performances for Wahlberg, Reynolds, and Graham. A perfect movie, in my opinion." —u/August_West_1990

What it's about: "A young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together." —IMDb

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Andrea Eckert, Hanno Pöschl

Fan review: "Before Sunrise is, in my opinion, a perfect film. There's not a single thing about it I'd change. The dialogue, the cast, and their chemistry, the pacing. It's all perfect. Before Sunset and Before Midnight are both must-watches as well, in my opinion. It's such a uniquely beautiful trilogy, watching this couple grow in their relationship." —u/official_bagel

What it's about: "In late 1950s New York, a young underachiever named Tom Ripley is sent to Italy to retrieve Dickie Greenleaf, a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures." —IMDb

Starring: Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett

Fan review: "One of my favorite thriller/mystery/noir (don't really know how to define this) films. The acting is amazing. Hoffman just steals every scene he's in. You don't know how to feel about Ripley. Just great filmmaking." —u/anonymous

What it's about: "Follows the lives of three young males living in the Crenshaw ghetto of Los Angeles, dissecting questions of race, relationships, violence, and future prospects." —IMDb

Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Laurence Fishburne, Ice Cube, Lloyd Avery II

Fan review: "Well fuck, I cried so hard during the last 20 minutes. This is what I call an excellent film... [It's] very well-directed and well-acted. I was impressed by Laurence Fishburne's performance; he did an excellent job creating his supporting role. Also, Ice Cube made a very good debut. I really like the characters; these are real characters facing real problems. It has terrific camera work, a powerful story, and nice filming locations. It's such a powerful, brilliant, and hard-hitting drama about life on the streets... [I] highly recommend this movie if you haven't seen it." —u/prolelol

What it's about: "A wrongfully convicted banker forms a close friendship with a hardened convict over a quarter century while retaining his humanity through simple acts of compassion." —IMDb

Starring: Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows, James Whitmore

Fan review: "OMG, I could talk about this movie for hours, and I’ve seen it so many times. I love it so much that I wrote a paper on it in community college. For me, it’s just one of those movies that strikes all the right notes, and Morgan Freeman’s narration is the icing on the entire cake. Just great storytelling from beginning to end." —u/QuiGonColdGin

What it's about: "Grieving 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." —IMDb

Starring: Janet Jackson, Regina King, Tupac Shakur, Joe Torry

Fan review: "Poetic Justice and Gang Related really showed Tupac’s range as an actor. This was a great movie. Pac and Janet’s acting, along with Singleton’s directing, made for an excellent final product. Wish we’d gotten more films from Pac and Singleton." —u/Wild-Campaign-6358

What it's about: "The story of Henry Hill and his life in the mafia, covering his relationship with his wife Karen and his mob partners Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito." —IMDb

Starring: Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, Paul Sorvino

Fan review: "For whatever reason, I always watch GoodFellas over Christmas, and every year I forget how incredible it is. Ray Liotta is impeccable, De Niro is stunning, and Lorraine Bracco is just spectacular. How spectacular is she? That much. I have no idea how this was so overlooked by all the awards. It's the best movie ever made." —u/sneakyfoote

What it's about: "A naïve teenager is sent to 'sexual redirection' school when her straitlaced parents and friends suspect her of being gay." —IMDb

Starring: Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, Michelle Williams, Melanie Lynskey, RuPaul, Cathy Moriarty

Fan review: "I’m so happy that this movie is seeing a resurgence in popularity. It holds up so well and is so tasteful for a movie that came out in 1999. I was beyond shocked seeing all the gay relationships in the movie portrayed as genuine and loving, versus them being the butt of a joke. The cast is perfect, and I love how stylized the sets are. All in all, just a quintessential LGBTQ+ movie that anybody can enjoy." —u/grayrock99

What it's about: "Four childhood friends gather together to prepare for the birth of Chrissey's baby. They wonder how the girls they were at twelve years could possibly have become the women they are now." —IMDb

Starring: Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffmann, Ashleigh Aston Moore, Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, Rita Wilson

Fan review: "I looove Now and Then, it’s one of my feel-good movies. It gives similar vibes to Stand by Me, of course, but I love the girlhood aspects, and even the lingo and difficulties the girls face are realistically relatable." —u/thegentleplace

What it's about: "After her mother commits suicide, a young woman travels to Italy in search of love, truth, and a deeper connection with herself." —IMDb

Starring: Jeremy Irons, Liv Tyler, Sinéad Cusack, Donal McCann, Joseph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz

Fan review: "I love Stealing Beauty. Let's languish under the Tuscan sun with Liv Tyler and Jeremy Irons. It is a relaxing, interesting, luscious movie with complex characters. Underrated." —u/anonymous

What it's about: "Four young friends bound by a tragic accident are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town." —IMDb

Starring: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prinze Jr.

Fan review: "Honestly, IKWYDLS is neck and neck with Scream for me. I love the atmosphere created through the environment and the tone of the film. It's like you can feel the breeze and smell the sea. It's definitely a slow burn and a thriller, but I enjoy the pacing, and in my opinion, it's pretty phenomenal." —u/brian5mbv

What it's about: "A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancée's right-wing, conservative parents." —IMDb

Starring: Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Dianne Wiest, Nathan Lane, Dan Futterman, Hank Azaria, Christine Baranski

Fan review: "Incredible movie from start to finish. Amazing display of family affection on so many levels. Albert's true desire to be there and support his husband and son is incredible. The dinner scene is one of the funniest ever to be put to film. I think it holds up very well and will be deservedly remembered as a classic for a very long time." —u/Royal-Kiwi9050

What it's about: "Grossly overweight yet good-hearted professor Sherman Klump takes a special chemical that turns him into the slim but obnoxious Buddy Love." —IMDb

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Jada Pinkett Smith, James Coburn, Larry Miller, Dave Chappelle, John Ales

What it's about: "In 1976, a lower-middle-class teenager struggles to cope with living with her neurotic family of nomads on the outskirts of Beverly Hills." —IMDb

Starring: Natasha Lyonne, Alan Arkin, Jessica Walter, Marisa Tomei

Fan review: "I love this movie, and it is on my top 10 of all time. I feel they nailed the casting. The writing is funny but still highlights poignant moments of vulnerability for many of the characters without dragging you down. RIP to the great Alan Arkin, telling the story of the steak thief, along with 'Vivian! I didn't know you had a mustache!' had me rolling then and now." —u/DiligentQuarter7648

What it's about: "The Addams Family try to rescue their beloved Uncle Fester from his gold-digging new love, a black widow named Debbie." —IMDb

Starring: Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Joan Cusack, Carol Kane

Fan review: "Addams Family Values gave us everything we wanted in a comedy. Joan Cusack and Christina Ricci stole the show as Debbie Jellinsky and Wednesday Addams. The rare sequel that surpasses the original. It's one of those films I never tire of because of how witty and campy the film is. A lot of it is due to Paul Rudnick, who is known for his shady writing." —u/Lili_Danube

Fan review: "It is one of my FAVORITE '90s movies! I know this is a huge declaration, but it is a fantastic film in my opinion, and I want to give it some love! It’s hilarious! It’s heartwarming! The soundtrack is great! I never get tired of watching it!" —u/Sweetlo123

What it's about: "After a bitter divorce, an actor disguises himself as a female housekeeper to spend time with his children held in custody by his former wife." —IMDb

Starring: Robin Williams, Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, Robert Prosky

Fan review: "The film is funny and genuinely moving and thought-provoking, and features a stellar cast as well as one of Williams’s career-defining roles, where he had to be convincing as both a man and a woman. I was reminded of Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman, but this film hit closer to home, somehow. I understand now why so many people love it because I do, too." —u/BazF91

What it's about: "A dim-witted teenager and his new coworker try to save the old burger joint they work for from failing after the opening of a brand new burger restaurant across the street, which is planning to put them out of business." —IMDb

Starring: Kel Mitchell, Kenan Thompson, Sinbad, Abe Vigoda

Fan review: "This is an all-time classic kids film imo, especially for live action. The occasional adult jokes are hysterical. The dance scene in the psych asylum is amazing. There's a car chase with an ice cream truck. An AMC Pacer shaped like a burger. It has Sinbad! It has Shaq! It has Linda Cardellini as a psychopath! It has Carmen Electra...in a kids' movie! Also, this is one of the few kids' films with black leads that are original characters, not a remake (yes, I know Good Burger started on All That, but it's literally the same two actors). There's also literally a scene where Kel cross-dresses. Nobody batted an eye, and this was 1997!" —u/anonymous

What it's about: "To save her father from death in the army, a young maiden secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China's greatest heroines in the process." —IMDb

Starring: Ming-Na Wen, Eddie Murphy, Miguel Ferrer, BD Wong

Fan review: "It’s a fantastic film, beautifully animated and wonderfully scored. It has a great message behind it, but not in a pushy or preachy way. The songs are some of the best Disney has ever done, in my opinion, too. It felt like a classic ’90s Disney and has still stood the test of time." —u/CampMain

What it's about: "A girl gifted with a keen intellect and telekinetic powers uses both to get even with her callous family and free her kindly schoolteacher from the tyrannical grip of a sadistic headmistress." —IMDb

Starring: Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Embeth Davidtz, Pam Ferris

Fan review: "I just watched this with my daughter for the first time, and I was super impressed. It’s rare that a movie meant for kids is still enjoyable for adults without resorting to double entendres and pop culture references, but Matilda pulled it off with aplomb." —u/ZombieDebs

What it's about: "A man raised by gorillas must decide where he really belongs when he discovers he is a human." —IMDb

Fan review: "I grew up on this film. The animation, the characters, the voice acting, Phil Collins’s music, Mark Mancina’s score, and the themes of family and humanity make Tarzan a near-masterpiece. That said, Clayton is a bit of a letdown as a villain, and Terk makes me groan at times, but it’s a quite underrated Disney film." —u/ChrisCinema

Starring: Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Karen Allen, Denis Leary, James Earl Jones

Fan review: "What a classic and amazing film. Came out in 1993 on the tail end of '80s coming-of-age/teen movies. The actors are above average for their age, in my opinion. The score is a perfect mix for this inspirational sports film and coming-of-age movie. My favorite part, though…Benny. I’m 34 and just rewatched it. His character still challenges me to be a better person. He is so wholesome, supportive, and real. There are definitely outdated parts, but I truly love this film. It has passed my 'time and rewatch test' and planted itself into a classic. Something most childhood/early teen movies can’t do." —u/Comfortable_Crow_424

Starring: Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Moira Kelly, Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, Rowan Atkinson

Fan review: "It’s the most incredible movie I’ve ever watched. The voice actors, the songs. I cry every time I watch the movie. 'Be Prepared' gives me chills, especially as an adult. It’s a 10/10 for me and not just for nostalgia." —u/insideanoctavarium

What it's about: "Alyssa and Amanda are two little girls who are identical, but complete strangers, that accidentally meet one day." —IMDb

Starring: Kirstie Alley, Steve Guttenberg, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen

Fan review: "This is one of my favorite movies from the '90s. It just gives you that warm, cozy feeling and a sense of pure nostalgia. Everything about it feels so natural: kids being kids, that classic '90s vibe, and those wholesome family moments. Great romance, actually." —u/VMojitoBabe

What it's about: "The son of Zeus and Hera is stripped of his immortality as an infant and must become a true hero in order to reclaim it." —IMDb

Starring: Tate Donovan, Danny DeVito, James Woods, Susan Egan

Fan review: "I love this movie so much: the soundtrack, Hades (James Wood is fantastic in this film), the sassy and independent nature of Meg, Danny DeVito as Phil... Hell, I remember watching the show and liking that, too. This film is ridiculously underrated in my opinion." —u/Catdaddypanther97

What it's about: "Seven junior-high-school girls organize a daycare camp for children while at the same time experiencing classic adolescent growing pains." —IMDb

Starring: Schuyler Fisk, Bre Blair, Tricia Joe, Rachael Leigh Cook, Larisa Oleynik, Stacy Linn Ramsower, Zelda Harris

Fan review: "My mom babysat, and the majority of the kids were girls, a little bit older than me. They forced this movie into my consciousness, and every spring, I dust it off to get 'hyped' for summer… It’s a sickness, I’m an almost-40 dad of two boys." —u/NoteMcgotes

What it's about: "A kind-hearted street urchin and a power-hungry Grand Vizier vie for a magic lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true." —IMDb

Starring: Scott Weinger, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Jonathan Freeman, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried, Douglas Seale

Fan review: "It goes without saying that this movie is such an iconic part of many of our childhoods. As a kid, Robin Williams as the Genie was uproariously funny, but as I get older, I just keep finding more and more about his performance to love... [Credit] also needs to be given to the late Gilbert Gottfried, who added plenty of his own humor as comic relief sidekick Iago. Jonathan Freeman deliciously hammed it up as Jafar, eating up every scene he was in. The soundtrack was great... [I] don’t think there will ever be a time when this movie gets old. It is one of the few films I will gladly describe as timeless." —u/shadowlarx

What it's about: "When a boy learns that a beloved killer whale is to be killed by the aquarium owners, the boy risks everything to free the whale." —IMDb

Starring: Jason James Richter, Lori Petty, Jayne Atkinson, August Schellenberg, Michael Madsen

Fan review: "Watched this movie for the first time since I was a kid, and I loved it. Even before Blackfish came out, this movie made me feel bad for captive orcas. If somebody wants to see me cry, all they need to do is put this movie on. The end-credits sequence, when Willy is reunited with his family and the Michael Jackson song plays, never fails to make me super emotional. I’m so thankful I have this movie and the two sequels on DVD." —u/anonymous

What it's about: "Plump kids are lured into joining a posh fat camp with the promise of quick weight loss and good times, only to find that it is a woodland hellhole run by a psycho ex-fitness instructor." —IMDb

Starring: Ben Stiller, Tom McGowan, Aaron Schwartz, Shaun Weiss, Leah Lail, Paul Feig, Kenan Thompson

Fan review: "It’s an absolute classic that was ahead of its time. When it came out, people weren’t ready for this type of comedy. It’s basically a Judd Apatow film but a kids' version. This was a favorite for my sister and me. We can literally quote the entire movie, and we still watch it regularly to this day. She has kids now, and we watched it with her 13-year-old here recently, and he loved it, perfect humor for his age group. A little bit dirty, but not dirty enough that you gotta worry about him getting in trouble at school for repeating it. It should be more popular than it is, and it’s definitely a cult film for older millennials who grew up with it. One day, I feel like it will bust out and be more loved and watched by more." —u/CryptographerBig7346
