We're Throwing It Back With All the Good '90s Movies on Netflix Right Now

Ah, the '90s — a bad time to be a pair of eyebrows and the best time to be a movie-goer. Action movies were awesome, comedies were silly but still laugh-out-loud funny, and the rom-coms were at its pinnacle. It was a time when covering your bedroom walls with posters of your favorite stars was still cool, and when going to movie theaters was still a thing people did. Luckily for us, there are plenty of '90s movies available to stream on Netflix and watch from the comfort of our own homes. Read on to see the best '90s offerings on Netflix, ahead!
