We're now at the stage where the 1990s are referred to with nostalgia and even called "retro", much to the horror of many of What Hi-Fi? team members. But regardless of your feelings about '90s fashion and '90s pop music, you cannot deny that it holds a firm place in cinema history. It managed to follow the decade of The Shining, Back To The Future and The Breakfast Club with some tip-top treasures of its own.
It helps that the '90s marked a prolific period for many of the world's best directors – Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, The Coen Brothers, Tim Burton and Gus Van Sant, to name just a few. Without the '90s, the world would be without Forrest Gump, without Jack and Rose, without the red pill and blue pill meme, and without Mr Blonde dancing to Stuck In the Middle With You.
