Last Action Hero https://youtu.be/ShBw43KJoLk?si=m8U5c_65a8BXU5je
Its so self aware of its genre and all the tropes up to that point.
Am I the only person who watched Singles (1993)? OK, pretty forgettable romcom, but absolutely the soundtrack of the 90s.

Wayne's World.
Wayne's World was trying to recapture Mike Myers' childhood in the 70s and early 80s. So doesn't capture spirit of the 90s.

Home Alone. It's a movie that really couldn't take place today due to cell phones and the Internet making easier to communicate with someone if the landlines are down. Also, the family wouldn't have been able to get through the airport like they did back then thanks to 9/11.

Mallrats 100%, followed by the Action Park documentary
Do the Right Thing - Spike Lee
Prep for the 90s.
The Birdcage and Get Shorty are tied for me
I'll toss in Empire Records - the store set, the costumes, the music, the actors, the meandering listlessness... all scream "this is a 90's movie about the 90's". Plus the whole Rex Manning plot is absolutely what happened to so many 70's and 80's artists. Not perfect by any means, but a great encapsulation of the decade.
That was a throw back to the 1980s Brat Pack, so you can group in the late 80s.
Adventures of Ford Fairlaine? Though it might be 80's rather 90's, despite the movie itself came out in 90'...
Definitely The Mummy starring Brenden Fraiser and Rachel Weisz
Space Jam?
PCU
For me and my friend group: trainspotting
The trainspotting and the Jackie Brown soundtrack were the only CDs people wanted to hear at parties for a time. I learned to hate them both. The only boy who could ever teach me... And: I got a lust for life... Really annoy me now because of that.
The only boy... is from Pulp Fiction.
Akira
Okay, it's actually 1988, but it definitely got that 90s anime feel.
Sparked the worldwide anime boom, so yeah, pretty iconic.
