How well do you know your 90s Movies?! From Forrest Gump to Home Alone, and Scream to The Sixth Sense, If you were a 90s kid, you should know ALL the answers to our Ultimate 90s Movie Trivia Quiz!
The 90s were a great decade for movies, giving us enduring classics such as Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Home Alone.
Horror went tacky with Scream, low-rent yet terrifying with The Blair Witch Project or psychological with The Silence of the Lambs. Oh, and, for just over 3 hours, anyone with a fear of clowns could have been scared out of their skin with ‘It’. (It was enough to give anyone Coulrophobia).
We continued our love affair with vampires and the supernatural with ‘From Dusk Til Dawn’, ‘Interview with a Vampire’ and ‘The Devil’s Advocate’. Gangsters continued to have the run of the town with Goodfellas, Casino and Reservoir Dogs.
Jim Carey made comedy silly with Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura and The Mask. And along with giving us one of the most iconic scores a movie soundtrack has ever had – we were taught that we shouldn’t try and bring dinosaurs back to life (although over 30 years later we still do not appear to have learned our lesson!)
And while we’re talking about the 90s, it would be rude not to mention the arrival of pop culture: Kids 90s TV was ruled by Nickelodeon, we all made some Friends, the Mickey Mouse Club introduced us to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake; Furbies and Tamagotchis were a generations favorite toys, and everyone knew The Macarena! If you know, you know (and if you don’t know, you missed out!)
But enough with the quick stroll down memory lane, and let’s get right to it and start quiz. We’ll start with some easy 90s movie trivia and the questions will get harder from there – but we promise it will be a lot of fun along the way and will test your knowledge of 90s motion pictures!
