FINALLY! A break from the teen romcoms I have been drowning you with! The next movie I have selected as part of the must see Netflix 90’s is Pulp Fiction. Quite the exact opposite of a romantic teen comedy, actually. This movie is filled with suspense, action, and thrilling scenes that will leave you wanting more (and to be apart of the action). I love this movie for the dialect, characters, and overall aesthetic of the film.
You cannot beat the dynamic duo of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, playing Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield. The two hitman begin the film in the apartment of kids who stole their bosses briefcase. With intimidation and the use of their guns they scare the kids to their core, while also eating their burgers and having a sip of their soda. The two are paired perfectly and make being a hitman all that much more glamorous. After retrieving the briefcase their boss, Marsellus Wallace, the scariest mob boss you never want to meet. Wallace asks Vincent to take his wife out while he is out of town, for Vincent this seems like a rather intimidating and strange request. When I spoke of aesthetics before, Mia can be credited with majority of this. Her overall poise and demeanor is intriguing and sexy, you want to know more about her with every word she says. Vincent has no idea what he is getting himself into as he arrives to pick Mia up, a night full of dancing, heroin, and almost killing the bosses wife. Yeah…. You could say that things escalate quickly! So, after almost killing your mobster bosses wife, how could their be any more action? Oh you are in for a treat! This is just the beginning! We now meet boxer Butch Coolidge, older than most of his components, he is paid by Wallace to lose his fight. That is, until he accidentally kills his opponent causing him to flee town. This movie has made it into my top 5 Netflix 90’s for the carefully crafted plot. The four unrelated events that somehow weave their way together leaves no time for you to take your eyes off of the screen. Tarantino incorporates the perfect amount of humor, action, and suspense. So open those laptops and turn on your tv to stream Pulp Fiction on Netflix, I can hardly even believe you can stream such a classic WHENEVER you want as MANY times as you want! XOXO, happy watching!!

I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?4/18/2017 Next is one of my absolute favorite movies, and it’s on Netflix!?! That’s right, this movie is the teen heart throb that you have been searching for, a 90’s masterpiece! 10 Things I Hate About You, directed by Gil Junger is next on my list of binge worthy Netflix 90’s.
Bad. Ass. Two words that describe the main character Katarina Stratford. One of her more famous lines, “How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.” There’s that Shakespeare! Katarina is a rebellious senior who does not take shit from ANYONE that crosses her path, and she’ll make sure to let you know. An outsider to the social scene at Padua High School, Kat does not follow conformity and voices her opinion about feminism whenever she can. Cameron, the new boy at school, receives help from the pretty boy jock, Joey Donner who will hire and pay someone to take Kat out making Bianca now dateable! The things you will do for a date in high school….. However, they have not hired just anyone, they have hired bad boy Patrick Verona. Rumored to have once ate a live duck and set a state trooper on fire. Not to mention Patrick, played by Heath Ledger, makes being bad so DAMN fine. This is where the movie takes a spin away from your stereotypical teen comedy. After much persistence and romantic notions Kat finally agrees to attend prom with Patrick, something she had sworn off for the longest time. Bianca, who was to originally attend with pretty boy Joey, decides to attend prom with Cameron because of information about Joey she learns from her sister. While at prom, Joey who still is infuriated with Bianca’s decision makes the arrangement between him and Patrick to date Kat public. As you can assume, Kat is devastated (and as viewers we all are too). Admitting her obvious love for Patrick, while also becoming teary eyed in class, your heart will break into a thousand pieces. Believe it or not, this scene, which I have included below, only took one time to shoot. Kat’s tears being unplanned and the almost perfect break in her voice a product of perfect timing. After confessing her love in class, Patrick surprises Kat with her very own guitar purchased with all of the money he made from Joey. The two end up happily together and Bianca begins dating Cameron. Now go turn on your TV’s, laptops, tablets, phones, whatever you chose to stream Netflix on and watch this movie!!! You can thank me later, xoxo happy watching! If the title to this post did not already give away the first movie I will be discussing I am pleading with you to find some way of streaming it (preferably Netflix of course ;)! The movie Clueless directed by Amy Heckerling is filled with endless humor, quotable moments, and relatable moments for ANYONE who has gone through high school. I chose this movie as the first to share with all of you for the innocence yet candid and honest story line that follows all of the characters.
There is a certain amount of absurdity followed along with the cast as they're all growing up in Beverly Hills attending Beverly Hills High School. The main character Cher, living a life of luxury yet still finding distress and confusion in her day to day life revolving around boys, clothes, and of course managing to turn a D into an A charming her teachers. Her best friend Dionne is the ultimate sidekick and has enough sass to keep her boyfriend and anyone that tries to talk to them in check. I find this movie to be a fun relatable comedy for everyone no matter what end of the social chain you may have fallen in. There are characters that everyone can find a piece of their self in. Overall, I believe that this movie is a classic from the 90's that should be cherished and watched at least once by everyone in their life time! |
