What was there not to love about the nineties? This was the era when the internet started to connect us all, and cellphones became an everyday essential item. It was the time when tapes, records, and VHS tapes slowly gave way to CD's, DVD'S and the very first MP3's. This was the decade when digital finally replaced film and changed the world of entertainment forever.
The movies of the nineties pushed the boundaries of what society considered acceptable. Titles like Natural Born Killers and Fight Club were violent and offensive but audiences loved them for breaking new ground. This era also saw a rise in popularity of teen horrors and the decline of the parody genre. Action films were all the rage, especially those with big budget special effects, and slapstick comedy was still funny.
Your taste in movies says a lot about your personality, so what we want to do today is see if we can guess your sign based on your taste in 90's movies. All you need to do is rate these popular titles (which are sure to bring on a heavy rush of nostalgia!) and we'll see if we can get it right. Enjoy your trip down memory lane!
Rate this movie: Clueless

Rate this movie: Titanic
Can love cross social barriers? Of course. Can love find you in the strangest places at the oddest times? Of course, it can. But can it survive the most epic shipwreck in history? Sadly, the answer is no. Titanic was THE love story of the nineties - were you a fan?
Rate this movie: Edward Scissorhands
Johnny Depp has played many 'larger than life' roles since he began his career so it's hard to choose what his best role has been. But many will argue that it was his portrayal of Edward Scissorhands that established him as a leading Hollywood actor.

Rate this movie: The Crow
