I was 14 or 15. Everyone my age knew who he was. He was the first person who came to mind when you heard the word “rich.” It was a cool cameo at the time.

Armageddon is a great answer. Big, dumb, star-studded, and with an absolute all-time ballad.

I really don't think movies made 1998 or later (like Armageddon) qualify. Aesthetically, we had already shifted so firmly into the Y2K vibe by then that the feel is totally different. It was a transitional phase that honestly feels more 2000s than 90s to me.

Also, as has been pointed out before, the '90s were a booming time for indie movies and Gen X slackerism. Saying they were "all about blockbusters" is just incorrect. Armageddon doesn't cover the bases at all.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

These are both movies about unmotivated whiny white people, no way are they the answer

Do the Right Thing came out in 1989. It literally starts with Public Enemy shouting "1989."

this question is tough bc the 90s as a decade are vastly different from beginning to end

1991 is a very different time than 1999

early 90s is it's own thing

late 90s is the internet age begins and vastly different

also whites v. non-whites (yes, they are all a team)

so bearing that in mind:

The answer is Hackers. Slackers, rollerblades, internet, topless Angelina Jolie, a cast that intersects with like a dozen other 90s staples, etc
