10 Movies That Perfectly Encompassed 1990s Aesthetic
William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet (1996)
Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 update of Shakespeare’s eternal love story did incredibly well at the box office and was hugely influential at the time. Looking back at it now, the movie is so entrenched in '80s fads and fashions that it comes across as slightly embarrassing. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes are appropriately youthful and winsome as the titular lovers, but the hyper-stylized, self-consciously violent setting in the middle of a California gang war between a bunch of rich young men hasn’t aged terribly well.

There’s an overabundance of Hawaiian shirts and the fondling of large silver guns that played well to the MTV generation, but Romeo + Juliet comes off as a period piece today. One thing that remains fresh though is the soundtrack from Garbage, Radiohead, and The Cardigans, etc., as a classic example of '90s pop.

25 Movies From The '90s That Are So Good, If You Haven't Seen Them, Your Friends Should Shame You
If you still haven't seen these, you need to plan a movie night.
7. Romeo + Juliet (1996)
Ah, the movie that has made so many high schoolers across America say, "Wait...does Shakespeare rock?" (And also the movie that has made many high schoolers across America say, "What the f—k is this?")

You know the synopsis: Two families hate each other, their kids fall in love, and it ends in tragedy. Only this time, we had Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, the story was set in gang-infested quasi-LA, and everybody had guns. Is there any movie more iconic that you watched in English class? I didn't think so.

Where to watch this amazing film: Stream it on Hulu.
