Personally I'd go with Independence Day if I had to pick a movie that felt the most 90s.

John Frankenheimer’s Ronin (1998) but not in the way you maybe mean. This movie simply has to take place when it does in the 90s. The plot just wouldn’t work otherwise.

Frankenheimer knew how to show a car chase; Ronin has cuts to the hands of the driver showing what they're doing, which I thought was a nice touch.

Best car chases ever put on film. You learn a lot of cool tidbits from the director’s commentary too.

I've got a soft spot for The Blues Brothers when it comes to car chases.

It also has to be 90s because no way De Niro would've punked Boromir out like that
