90s Favorites

It's no doubt that the 90s is the best decade of modern cinema (imho), with the 50s/60s being the best of what I call “classic” cinema. Hell, the 90s was even known as the Disney Renaissance (yes! It's actually a thing). Renaissance sounds like something from a history textbook. I wonder if they'll actually put Disney Renaissance in future textbooks hundreds of years later. If they do, well those students will be in for a real treat.

Here are just many of my 90s favorites by the year they were released. Add these to your 90s movie marathon!

Home Alone (1990)

The decade started out with this amusing Christmas tale, directed by the popular John Hughes.

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

My Girl (1991)

Jurassic Park (1993)

The Lion King (1994)

Fun fact: did you know that The Lion King was loosely based on the plot in Shakespeare's Hamlet? I know right! Never would have guessed! You really do learn new things every day.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Pocahontas (1995)

Another Fun Fact: Disney actually predicted greater success for Pocahontas than The Lion King, so they had their A-class animators work on Pocahontas and B-class animators on The Lion King. Which explains Pocahontas's stunning animation! Turns out, Disney was proven wrong when The Lion King turned out to be more popular than Pocahontas. Probably because of The Lion King's appeal to both genders and the awesome songs. The circle of life.....okay I'm getting ahead of myself.

Titanic (1997)

Mulan (1998)

The 90s was the best because it combined the latest film technology with the old way of storytelling.

Sooooo many good movies from this decade. What are your favorite 90s movies? Comment below!

That is all.
