A great way to get back to the spirit of the era is to check out some of the biggest titles in TV and film from the time.

Netflix is prepared to set the '90s vibe — both with these 40 fabulous picks that capture the era and with the upcoming That '90s Show, out January 19.
1.The Addams Family
2.Addams Family Values
Like a lot of '90s kids, this is a movie I've seen maybe a billion times. Everyone (as in the characters, but also the star-studded cast) brings their A-game to help Uncle Fester.
3.Air Force One
4.All That (Seasons 2 & 3)
5.Blue Streak
6.Croupier
7.Danger Mouse - The Classic Collection (Seasons 9–10)
8.Edge of Seventeen
9.Forrest Gump
10.Goosebumps: Specials
11.Heavy
12.I Know What You Did Last Summer
13.Jerry Maguire
14.Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You for the Last Time
This 1998 comedy special shows that years of sitcom acting didn't dull Jerry Seinfeld's sense for making a live audience laugh.
15.Kenan and Kel (Seasons 1 & 2)
16.Kicking and Screaming
17.Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Seasons 1–3)
Power Rangers blew up as a franchise because of the action-packed glory of MMPR. This series kept us at the edge of our seats and positively gripped with a combination of fun characters and awesome action scenes.
18.Moesha (Seasons 1–5)
Brandy can do no wrong in my book and nothing and Moesha is only part of the reason for it. Growing up with a girl who wasn't afraid to take risks but also cared about her family, however unusual it may have been for the time, was pretty major. It was also one of the great shows that let you grow up with the title character.
19.My Girl
20.Notting Hill
It's hard to pick stand-out romcoms because there were so many good ones in the '90s, but this one has continued to be a conversation piece decades later.
21.Parenthood
22.Reservoir Dogs
23.Rocky V
24.Seinfeld (Seasons 1-9)
Native New Yorkers know Seinfeld is what people who aren't from here think Friends is. Nothing and everything is going on at once, and these characters are figuring it out badly (and relatably).
25.Sinbad: Afros and Bellbottoms
26.Sinbad: Nothin' but the Funk
The other reason Sinbad hit differently was that his standup specials were family friendly at a time when a lot of families were particularly invested in such content.
27.Sinbad: Son of a Preacher Man
Trust me, you'll want more Sinbad.
28.Sister, Sister (Seasons 1–6)
Sister, Sister brought Tia and Tamera to the forefront, where they rightfully belong. They were another great example of characters you grew up alongside who oozed strength and fabulosity all at once.
29.The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (Season 1)
30.The Hunt for Red October
31.The Last Days
32.The Magic School Bus (Season 1)
33.The Mask of Zorro
The Mask of Zorro was a huge box office hit, with people captivated by this sexy vigilante flick.
34.The Nutty Professor
Eddie Murphy was making countless classics throughout the '90s, but what he did in The Nutty Professor was really special. He showed off his comedy chops in a way that cemented him as a favorite for a whole new generation.
35.The Parkers
36.The Quick and the Dead
37.A Triumph of the Heart
38.Unspeakable Acts
39.Victim of Beauty
If there's one thing '90s TV and film were giving, it was range. There were a lot of experiments in what could be popular with audiences and a lot of those trends influence what's being made (and in turn, what we're binging) today.
