Singles was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title, so I'd go with that one.

^^^I was just going to say that, along with every other Kevin Smith movie from the 90s.

Re: movies that epitomize the 90's

Weirdly one of the movies that epitomizes the 90s the most to me is The Brady Bunch Movie, it kind of manages to sum up the 90s 70s nostalogia while also presenting a relatively accurate portrait of the 90s.

I'd also add:

Scream
Jawbreaker
10 Things I Hate About You

Re: movies that epitomize the 90's

I can't see all the pictures from my work computer, so I'm not sure if they've been mentioned, but I'd like to throw in the first American Pie and Can't Hardly Wait. Maybe its because I was roughly the age of the characters when the films were released, but both films seem like a snapshot of everybody I knew in the late-90s.
