August 21, 2025 - Though very, very silly, the movie has a lovely message about allowing yourself to be yourself. Fun Fact: Despite their airhead characters, Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino went to Vassar and Harvard, respectively. Synopsis: Two party girls from Venice Beach try to reinvent themselves at their 10 year high school reunion in Arizona. Indie filmmakers in the 90s did things with practical aesthetics that still stand out for their creativity and visual impact.

November 2, 2024 -

Looking for suggestions matching the tone and dialogue/character focus of (mostly) female-centric films like: Sunshine Cleaning, Secrets & Lies, Me & You & Everyone We Know, My Life Without Me, Walking & Talking, You Can Count on Me, The Station Agent, Skeleton Twins, Blue Car, Igby Goes Down, The Savages.

Edit: I’ve seen Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite, honestly a ton of this genre from this era. Doesn’t have to be from those decades, just similar in tone, pace, emotion, etc.

The 25 best romance films of the '90s
June 26, 2023 - In this lovely Bollywood musical, non-resident Indian Londoners Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) and Simran (Kajol) fall in love while traveling through Europe. The only problem: Simran has been arranged to marry the son of her father's friend, so Raj must disrupt the festivities to cancel the engagement. The leads are incredibly charismatic, and each musical number is exuberant thanks to excellent choreography and catchy songs. Though it's an unceasingly fun movie to watch, it's also remarkably thoughtful, exploring intergenerational tensions and the ways that values can shift as young people become more detached from their parents' original homeland.

Themes of eating disorders, suicide, and bullying are all explored as the young characters struggle with their changing circumstances. The transition from high school to whatever comes after is universally tough, and this scarcely-mentioned indie flick does a good job of addressing the awkwardness and questionable decisions that come with being a young adult.

Weekly Question: What '90s indie film changed your life the most?
March 21, 2024 - CLERKS without a doubt. I was 13 years old when it came out. I read about it in the pages of Wizard Magazine. The mom and Pop video store my family went to (and that someday I'd work at) made a point to stock indie films. This was the right movie for the right age and right time for me.

May 22, 2023 - It’s this narrative about intense fascination, gossip, and repression that set the stage for Coppola as she developed a cinematic voice that only continued to thrive after the ’90s.

He kicked off a lot of his motifs with a film called Rushmore, a story about an ill-developed romance triangle that turns a teenager’s life upside-down.
