Movies that defined the 90s – What’s YOUR Score?
I consider the 90s to be one of the most colorful eras in the film industry.
There was something for everyone including character driven stories that shined alongside those with revolutionary special effects and heart-pounding action sequences. It was also a good (and lucrative) time for indie filmmakers to make a name for themselves.
So when a British film geek shared with me a quiz featuring movie posters from the 90s, I decided to play along and see how many quotes from these motion pictures I could recognize.
Here are my results:
# of movie quotes listed in the quiz: 29
# of film titles I guessed correctly: 7
# of film titles I guessed incorrectly: 10
In the end, I scored a paltry 7 out of 29 on this movie quiz. These results come as a surprise to me because I've watched many of these flicks -- 14 to be exact (some even multiple times, having had access to them on home video) -- and am at least familiar with most all other movies on the list. Now I’m curious to know if anyone else is up for putting his or her knowledge of film quotes to the test....

I'm not all that good with quotes, though I may do okay if the movie was The Color Purple.
For me, the 90's was all about the gangsta, whether it was street gangsta or organized crime.
Epic fail for me! A total of four, and I've seen most of these movies. Memory like a sieve...
Angela,
The Color Purple has some memorable lines indeed. You probably know more quotes than you think. Your onto something with that gangsta trend...it had me thinking of New Jack City...can't get any more gangsta (as far as the streetwise ones go) than Nino Brown. Ha! Thanks for reading this post :)
Kern,
Four is still better than none so I'd say you can pat yourself on the back for that! Doesn't it seem nuts to be so familiar with a lot of the movies in that quiz, yet, not remembering much of any quotes from said films?! That's how I feel at least because some of those movies I've watched several times over and still wasn't able to identify the lines. Thank you for visiting and checking out that movie quiz! :)
