Neglected 90s Movies That Deserve More YouTube Reactions -- Episode One #1-11

[@mpfromdaov]

"I'm right on top of that, Rose!" was a frequent phrase in my circle of friends. Occasionally, I still say "Dishes are done, man." RIP Christopher Pettiet.

[@TheCrystella26]

I always quote I'm right on top of that Rose. One movie I watched all the time growing up

[@chrissalem3747]

"don't tell mom the babysitters dead." Strong start, strong start. 👏

[@martincolleran7109]

Younger Xennial here May 1983. This channel has been a joy to watch. Brought back many memories. I sometimes feel like I relate to Gen X more since my older sisters exposed me to much more than the typical Xennial, and seeing as they were born in 1973, I witnessed them in their teenage years in the 1980s. The big hair, the aquanet, the malls, the parking lot parties. I feel like I missed out sometimes but I wouldn't change anything.

[@evelynwilson1566]

Muriel's Wedding is one of my favourite films. The Australians are great at doing these 'slice of life'fiilms, grim reality but with great humour. I am Scottish and I see the same kind of thing in UK films. I still say ' You' re terrible Muriel'😆. As for that ending, it cheers me up just to think about Muriel and Rhonda' s friendship and their excitement about a better life. Some other great films from the era were Priscilla Queen of the Desert, East is East, Evita and My Cousin Vinny. Oh and one I haven't seen for years, but I loved it at the time, Shallow Grave. It was directed by Danny Boyle and starred a young Ewan McGregor.

[@CmotDribbler]

“I gotta dollar, I got a dollar, I got a dollar, hey hey hey.” Every time I find spare change.

[@pequena_ninera]

Thank you featuring Newsies and Swing Kids. Two Christian Bale movies that deserve the recognition. I don't care what anybody says, those two movies are still awesome today.

[@hnjceballos3175]

“The dishes are done, Man!” My wife hates it when I quote that line. I tend to replace “dishes” with just about anything that I complete off the “honey do” list.

[@sarahbumgardner8897]

Every time I do dishes!!! I thought I was the only one!! My favorite line in the movie. Lol

[@jamesjohnston1935]

Finally, I am not alone! lol

[@crystalshaw8744]

I was JUST about to comment on the same thing...lmbo

[@crystalshaw8744]

I swear I was going to comment the same thing...lmbo

[@mojojoejoe1983]

Got to throw in "Death becomes Her" and "Nothing but Trouble". Great comedy Gems. Also some Disney gems like "Heavyweights", "The mighty Ducks" (side note the flying V never works in hockey lol), and "Little Giants".

[@whatugonnadu]

The movie swing kids had such a societal effect. Actually brought about a subculture of modern swing. Lots of solid memories there

[@JoanieDoeShadow]

So I Love Father of The Bride, both the old Black & white film and the Steve Martin remake. However, Father of the Bride II is extra special to me and my family. My oldest brother had just told us he & his wife was expecting their first baby days before we rented this from the video store. My dad was laughing and said something about how that wouldn't happen in real life and my mom was getting more and more upset as dad laughed and enjoyed the film... At one point we had to pause the film so dad could check on mom to see why she was angry with him. Us younger kids weren't supposed to know but it was obvious, mom was pregnant and didn't think it was a joke. My baby brother and oldest nephew are 6 weeks a part and we can all laugh and enjoy the film years all these years later.

[@christopherparrisjr.3146]

I first watched The Little Rascals on ABC Family. About a year later, my dad bought me a DVD set of the pre-MGM Our Gang shorts. My exposure to Our Gang, The Wizard of OZ, and TCM as a little kid helped spawn my lifelong love of older movies.

[@KevDiesel]

"The dishes are done, man!"

[@davidsumner7604]

The Ref (1994)! I am genuinely shocked that this movie hasn't gotten a revival yet. Nobody knows about this movie and it really should be a Christmas classic. It would be great reaction fodder and I don't get why it hasn't caught on. Also, The Negotiator (1998).

[@JamesStone-u5w]

Loved, Doug , growing up.

[@KayCeeTX21]

Fellow Xennial here! We came of Age in such a glorious time. No social Media. Life was so much sweeter. I love your channel. It has been a source of much amusement and fond memories. Especially in days when adulting is much more difficult than it should be. I freaking LOVE PCU. Best movie ever. I have thought about it so many times as college campuses lose their cry baby minds! 🤨 😂

[@beeggym666]

"...WE'RE NOT GONNA PROTEST..." Also, I still yell, "OUTSIDE!" whenever I see skateboarding in a movie! Your lists are stellar, and chock full of top shelf trivia! Keep'em coming, please!

[@beeggym666]

Also, also, Newsies features an appearance of Trey Parker as Kid Blink! You must be a menace on trivia nights!

[@slaterchest7153]

Loved Newsies, I had a huge crush on David Moscow. Thank you for putting PCU in here, it was one of my favorites but like no one's heard of it and I started to believe it was a fever dream I had. Swing Kids never fails to make me cry. I remember once I rented Election, Dick and Jawbreaker, it was a good weekend. Empire Records, I still honor Rex Manning day.

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

That was the most 90s comment ever! ❤️ you have to be an Xer to understand it. Absolutely fantastic.

[@sabrinashelton1997]

I was completely hooked on Newsies in middle school and madly in love with Christian Bale.

[@jmgajda8071]

1978 here. It's pronounced 'ZEN-ial' lol. My 13yo loves telling her younger sisters that they're Gen Alpha, but SHE'S Gen Z, so last week I called her Gen Zaloha and she list her ish! 🤣🤣🤣 Love your channel! So much fun it has me lunchin'! 🤍🩷❤️🧡🤎💛💚🩵💙💜🩶🖤

[@cmfort2696]

"... no she's not here, she went to the yarn store."

[@Bucksman36]

I will be 55 this year so I truly grew up with all of the things you talk about in real time. Gen X had the best of everything in entertainment and pop culture. Plus we had an appreciation for movies and classic shows/movies from our boomer parents. I'm glad I grew up when I did. We were exposed to the world in ways that taught us about life and the world around us. I often wonder what today's youth will truly have to look back on and cherish. I still enjoy everything I grew up with. Gen x was so fortunate!

[@rna1561]

Loved these! Dont forget Captain Ron, adventures in babysitting, pure country,my girl,little giants,the war, drop dead fred,i could go on but i guess i should just wait for the next episode.youre doing amazing! So happy you made this!!

[@ocfloydian]

Paul Metzler You Betzler, lol. Dead Presidents, The Stoned Age, Brain Candy, Ed and his Dead Mother, are just a few 90's flicks that deserve more attention

[@lilliedoubleyou3865]

the conspiracist in me absolutely "knows" why PCU isn't available to stream, and it's likely the same reason that some (of the best) SNL episodes from the '70s and '80s aren't available in the NBC collection to stream.

[@unacceptablesisterpeter3431]

Kids in the Hall pC art class😂 Prophetic

[@LL-gf6rq]

Yeah, treating people like actual humans with independent emotions sure is a strain on white people, huh? Thanks making it easy to leave this community.

[@tarafotty3149]

Such as the Eddie Murphy “Kill the White People” skit 😂

[@thedarkestowl4224]

Kids in the Hall- 'F*g' skit 😂😂😂

[@therealmisterap]

Pcu is an underrated comedic masterpiece

[@harrykalb1187]

I always like to plug "The Ref" as one of those "non-traditional" Christmas movies. It's hilarious!

[@heartsstillbeating1110]

One of my favorite movies right off the bat! (Dont Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead) I got way too excited/nostalgic when i saw that lol

[@AgnesLoredana]

Ah Don’t tell mom the babysitter’s dead! I love that one 😍 The cutting edge, Delirious, World’s oldest living bridesmaid…I also like one called Bridesmaids but I think that one is from 89. I love your channel 😁

[@ShaunStackhouse]

I'm a fellow 1977 baby, and I'm so glad that I found this awesome channel!

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

I’m glad you found me! Thanks for the comment.

[@lilliedoubleyou3865]

1988 baby, and I'm glad I found this channel! Your Millennial fan

[@sonjaisaacs1200]

I turned 4 in 1977.

[@sie4431]

There are lots of films that don't get the attention they deserve but I'm interesting in the ones that were seemingly huge and are seemingly forgotten. For example, Pacific Heights and to a lesser extent Sleeping With The Enemy. Two really good thrillers that always seemed to be on TV in the 90's. The former stars Matthew Modine and Melanie Griffith as a couple plagued by possibly the worst live-in tenant that's ever existed. The latter is one woman's attempt to break away from her abusive husband which doesn't sound like the plot of a thriller but it is. I'm glad you mentioned the swing craze of the early 90's. I think it probably started with Memphis Belle which, at least in Britain, proceeded Jive Bunny's SwIng The Mood, a medley of old songs featuring the Glenn Miller song In The Mood, being a number one single. I think Swing Kids helped that cross over to the US and the rest is history

[@sorceress1986]

I ADORE Christian Bale so THANK YOU for highlighting Swing Kids. It's such a relevant movie. Though I mist confess, I always knew Newsies was a bad movie. Once in a while, I gotta watch it... but oy.

[@RheverendJ]

I just remember every girl asking what the song was they played in Father of the Bride as she walked the aisle (Canon in D), and that pretty much every movie wedding since uses that song now

[@crystalshaw8744]

Say Anything with John Cusack. One of my all-time favorite movies. I had such a crush on the character and the actor.

[@TheCrystella26]

Just subscribed because your number 1 was Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter Is Dead. It was my favorite movie in the 90's

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

It was nice to see Christina Applegate play the smart girl, in contrast to the airhead Kelly Bundy.

[@N_Loco_Parenthesis]

Muriel's WEdding is indeed 90s treasure.

[@HarleyHansonkristy]

There's a movie called "Bullet" from 1996 staring Tupac Shukur and Mickey Rouke and I don't know why but it is so hard to find it's not on any of the streaming channels and I can only find limited DVD availability which is crazy to me because it is an awesome movie and it's not any more radical than anything that has came out in the same time. So I don't understand why it's so hard to find but I'm sure you have probably heard of it because you have heard of everything your channel is awesome I enjoy watching it I subscribed and have encouraged others to subscribe to it I love what you're doing I love the channel keep up the good work and thank you

[@chrisnelson1928]

I’m starting to think that you sat next to me in middle and high school after watching all these videos ha ha!

[@snoo333]

All good choices. wonderful picks. thank you for the memories. I have to pace myself, don't want to finish all your videos in one sitting. lol

[@MariaLopez-kn7qt]

Ummm yes on the Patreon! I'd definitely pay for this!

[@whatugonnadu]

77 kid here too!! Glad i found you.

[@katwernery6505]

Born in December 79, xennial too! It was a weird time to grow up🤪 Loved some of your suggestions , and remember seeing them when they came out or rented from blockbuster or Kroger(anyone else remember when Kroger had videos and DVDs to rent) My faves were Don’t Tell Mom, Speed(pop quiz hotshot, Newies(fine life carring the banner), FB 2, Election, Empire Record( ykyk), Swing Kids, the Little Rascals (oookay) This truly is an impressive list , you have great taste, looking forward to the next

[@jamesjohnston1935]

October '79 Xennial. I quote speed with "Remember, Crazy not stupid" though Im referring to myself.

[@coopsgirl07]

I'm a 77 baby too! Love the channel ❤️

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

Thank you!!😊

[@michaelkleen7991]

You're dead on with PCU - no longer satire, but reality

[@rna1561]

Legends of the Fall ❤❤❤❤

[@RheverendJ]

You left out With Honors starring Brendan Fraser

[@whatugonnadu]

She's not done yet

[@Aimhigh-sl4js]

Love these films! Takes me back yes

[@stephanieosberg6179]

I would love your take on Man in the Moon.

[@TheCrystella26]

Another one of my favorites as a youth. I was just thinking about this movie a couple weeks ago.

[@muadeeb]

Absolutely loved PCU. Actually used it as a reference in an English paper in college with regards to academic dishonesty

[@Marigen1971]

Awesome list, will add a few to my watchlist.

[@thecreamyone3606]

Nothing to Lose 💕

[@georgemurrell8464]

P.C.U. is Animal House thirty years later.

[@jmsl_910]

awesome list! yes to viewing parties!!

[@irktog5175]

My idea for a Legally Blonde movie is that Elle Woods runs for President. Her opponent in the election needs to be equally intelligent and driven but lacking in Elle's moral character. It should be Tracy Flick, and of course Reese Witherspoon would play both roles.

[@ricey23]

I saw this in a movie about a bus has to speed, around the city - keeping it's speed over 50, and if it's speed dropped it would explode - I think it was called The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down

[@What_Makes_Climate_Tick]

I saw Father of the Bride just once when it first came out and the main thing I remember is the "nahvy blue tuxahdo". Swing Kids is well worth including on this list.

[@FreddyKurganNimmo]

4:08 - I can't watch anything with Jon Favreau in it now without automatically thinking "Gutter is a tool!"😆

[@markcorl2022]

It is a shame more people aren’t talking about the film ‘Election’. I’ve probably watched it at least 50 times since it was first released and it’s in my top ten favorite films of all time. There is absolutely nothing I can say that is wrong with this film - It’s as close to a perfect film as it gets. The writing, the performances, the directing. Absolutely hilarious, right down to the brilliant ending, (which I am glad they changed from the book).

[@whatugonnadu]

"Dishes are done man..."

[@TheCrystella26]

😂😂

[@Bdhstl95]

The dishes are done, man!

[@aaronsoucy2658]

Love PCU!!! '67 here......Supposedly that movie is based off either Trinity or Weslyan in Connecticut

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

We watched PCU constantly in college (95-99), and thought it was a fun stoner movie that was an absurd exaggeration! 😂 I could never (then or now) go to a school like that.

[@jp3813]

Speed is quite popular for reaction channels.

[@lifeofatruckerswife]

Muriel's Wedding!!! I identified with Muriel soooo much Such a good movie

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

I remember seeing _Our Gang_ and _Three Stooges_ shorts on television back in the 1970's. Back then, television stations weren't totally opposed to showing stuff that was still black and white. Later, they totally rejected stuff in black and white. That's kind of sad.

[@sabrinashelton1997]

And how bout I Love Lucy? I was obsessed with that as a kid (born 1979). I still am, honestly.

[@btetschner]

A+ video! Awesome picks!

[@jimthar17]

I just checked and PCU is available on DVD on Amazon. No bluray though.

[@bluebear1985]

Not too long ago, when both Steve Martin and Martin Short hosted SNL together, they wound up doing a Father of the Bride sketch, where they brought back their old characters. Apparently they had George's daughter getting married again, and because of how recent it was, they were trying to get Selena Gomez to perform at the reception. Whatever works, I guess.

[@johncollins1884]

@mysocalledgenxlife Thank you for the suggestions. When you're finished making this group of presentations (101 90's movies) will you edit it together to make one full length presentation?

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

Yes. I definitely will. I got a bit sidetracked from that series, but I will get back to it soon! Thanks for the comment.

[@CelticShrew]

My fellow '77 baby! I've heard us called Gen X, Xennials, The Token Generation and The Oregon Trail Generation. I accept them all.

[@KreativeKerri]

I remember that game and math munchers.

[@CelticShrew]

@@KreativeKerri I loved math muchers!

[@CelticShrew]

@PatrickRockwell24 I graduated in 1995, we had 4 computers in our library and the competition to use them was FIERCE.

[@daniellemaroney2931]

Thank you for mentioning Father of the Bride part 1 and 2. It was one of my favorite movies of the 1990s. But please don't downplay my favorite show on Hulu only murders in the building. Steve Martin and Martin Short has truly found their niche together in this comedy. Together they can't help but to shine, especially when you add in Selena Gomez.

[@80sdreamwave32]

I remember lots great movies I have some this in DVD and Blu-ray

[@Ophelia_Doll]

Every year I watch Empire records and reality bites back to back...

[@AnsonBeeker]

You hit PCU out of the park.

[@mazokuchan]

Will you talk about Kuffs?!

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

I might just do that! Gotta have at least one Christian Slater movie on a 90s movie list.

[@aaronsoucy2658]

It's Rex Manning Day!!!!!!

[@SteelBoy]

As you named the cast of Newsies, you forgot Max Casella. Who played Vinnie, in Doogie Howser. And currently in Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone.

[@thedarkestowl4224]

I remember when PCU was reran nonstop on Comedy Central 😂😂😂😂

[@kerrywelsh8391]

3 titles to add to the list: Wild Horses Can't Be Broken, Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion

[@jamesjohnston1935]

I also own PCU and have frequently subjugated my younger siblings friends to viewing parties with it.

[@sandrafaith]

_Presumed Innocent_ always makes me think of an old sketch from The Kids in the Hall. "Evil, evil, EVIL!" 😈 (iykyk)

[@jamesbonnen]

Hopefully Stay Tuned is on a future list

[@flazada]

Girl you're not the only one that mixes up Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman cuz I did the exact same thing before you said it. Whatever happened to Bill Pullman? Anyway, he's amazing

[@melissaisloud7404]

Let’s Watch PCU together! I actually watched ‘Father of the Bride 1 & 2’ last weekend.

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

Once I get my streaming going, I will definitely do that! Hopefully will have my studio set up by the end of the summer.

[@colintimp1372]

PCU was how I got to know my wife. She worked at a video store and recommended it to me. That was 1996. We're still together.

[@rna1561]

Now and then!

[@r.d.493]

I don't know if it's on any of your lists, but assuming you haven't seen it, I can't recommend the movie "Clockwatchers" enough. I can't say that it's comedic, but it is certainly a very dark and very believable look at into the lives of temps working in corporate America.

[@Zachbensam321]

I'll add these to the list, I kinda want to make my own version of this with 2000s and 2010s movies

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

It’s so much fun! I kinda stumbled into doing it and now I’m making like 10 videos about it 😂. Make your own version with the 2000s and 2010s. That would be great!

[@ashleigh_whatever]

Was not expecting to see Muriel's Wedding on this list, Another good 90s aussie movie is The Castle, have you seen it?

[@melindamunsinger1034]

I love the Newsies too.

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

The original _Father of the Bride_ starred Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. The sequel was called _Father's Little Dividend_. I may watch the later ones. Steve Martin can be great. I've just never been fond of remakes, and it's hard to outdo Spencer Tracy.

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

I actually played the mom role in the stage version of Father of the Bride based on the Spencer Tracy version when I was in high school! It’s a great version for its time, but I love me some Steve Martin 😊.

[@TheCrystella26]

I know Amos and Andy, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Face Off will be in future episodes

[@sneggleblech]

The Little Rascals had bang on casting

[@RandomDude19868]

As Good As It Gets (97); Servants of Twilight (91); Darkman (90); Pleasantville (98); Now and Then (95); and Mask of the Phantasm (93). Loved the Little Rascals and Election but haven't seen the other 9 on your list.

[@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817]

Father of the Bride is a remake (1950 Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor). Father of the Bride Part II is a remake (Father's Little Dividend 1951 - Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor) Cheaper by the Dozen is remake (and awful one at that. The original [1950 - Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy] is based on the real-life story of The Gilbreth Family. Frank Gilbreth, Sr., was a pioneer in the field of motion study. Lillian Gilbreth: one of the first female engineers to earn a Ph.D., is considered to be the first industrial/organizational psychologist). The Money Pit is a remake (The 1946 comedy novel 'Mr. Blanding's Builds his Dream House' written by Eric Hodgins was adapted as a film by the same name and released in 1948, starring Cary Grant and Myrna Loy). You've Got Mail is a remake (The Shop Around the Corner 1940 - James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan). The Parent Trap is a remake. Some Gen X'er you are.

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

Um ok?! So when I said there were “many” versions of father of the bride, but the 1991 version was my favorite, that came across to you as I didn’t know about the original? lol. I literally played the mom character in a stage version of the Tracy version. Not only am I aware of it, I know many of the lines by heart.

[@captainsplifford]

I also vote for Singles and L.A. Story. I wish more people would react to those.

[@Cubs-Den-Reactions]

Well, I have seen some of these reacted to, and I could do a rewatch for some... If I gave you credit and linked your video, challenge accepted? Would also include your 80's episode and the rest of the 90's series... Gives our channel a starting point, and you get reactions! Win win. Every film chosen from your lists, gets you a shout out and engagement as well... What do you think?

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

There were quite a few books calling out the colleges and their "political correctness" back in the early 1990's. Thomas Sowell had a book called _Inside American Education_. You shouldn't be shocked by what is happening now, if you have been paying attention.

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

I love Thomas Sowell. Black Rednecks and White Liberals and Vision of the Annointed are the two that I have read. Fantastic!

[@battygirlrachel]

May i recomend Locals over patreon? Patreon has cancled users...

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

I am definitely considering it. Still looking into all of these platforms to figure out which ones to learn and use. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@PinkGeekification]

Gotta celebrate Rex Manning Day! April 8th!

[@DeAnnaRocksMost]

You can rent anything ever made across the multiple streaming services, except PCU 🤔

[@jonasirw1]

PCU was actually a documentary

[@btetschner]

x Newsies - My first daily job was as a Paper Boy (when I was 10 or 11) x Election - That was shot in Omaha, it was at the school as a college mate of mine (I live in Nebraska too btw) x I added Presumed Innocent, Swing Kids, and Muriel's Wedding to my September Watchlist! o Other than those three, I have watched all of the other eight.
