Forgotten ‘90s Movies

While there are certainly some movies out there that you’ll immediately think of when someone says ‘90s—hello, Toy Story and Forrest Gump—there are others that you definitely watched but have forgotten about. And maybe, you just didn’t realize they were from the ‘90s.

Hook and The Secret Garden are often two that are overlooked, but they are classics and well worth watching with the whole family again. If you want something just for pure entertainment, Dennis the Menace is a must. We also can’t forget The Borrowers, which certainly brought a great idea to why items in the house keep going missing!

Then there’s Kazaam. This is one of those Mandela effects, as most people will think of Sinbad starring Sinbad, but it turns out that wasn’t a movie after all. Kazaam with Shaquille O’Neal was a real movie, made in 1996.
