If you consider yourself a film buff, then you know all about movies of the 1990s. Some of the best movies of all time came from this decade, when complex antiheroes were on the rise and independent movies became more mainstream. Put your knowledge to the test with the quiz below, in which you’ll choose the one-word movie title based on the definition. What makes it more difficult is that you’ve got a two-minute time limit. Good luck!
Were you able to get all 15 movies correct in less than two minutes? They were all pretty straightforward, but having that time limit creates so much more pressure. If you got a high score, be sure to share the quiz with your movie-obsessed friends to see how they do.
From dramas and romances to comedies and horror, the 1990s had a little bit of everything when it came to movies. Looking back, it’s hard to pick a favorite (or even a few!) because there were just so many classics to come out of the decade. That said, each state does have their favorite ‘90s movie, and the results, as reported by iHeart, probably won’t surprise you. Check out the data from Frontier Bundles below, mapped for easy viewing.

It won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
In second-place is Men in Black, winning over six states. The 1997 Barry Sonnenfeld sci-fi comedy is a classic fun and easy watch, making it an understandable favorite.
