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

Wayne's World.

Wayne's World was trying to recapture Mike Myers' childhood in the 70s and early 80s. So doesn't capture spirit of the 90s.

Hrm, I think you're more right than I was.

False. Wayne’s world captures the spirit of today, but back when it was a counter culture.

What people don’t realize is the kind of snark and goofy jokes that exist all throughout the movie used to be unusual. Now it’s basically how everyone talks.
