Some of the best movie quotes came from the 1990s. Have you ever heard someone say, "You're killing me smalls?" This is a popular quote from the movie, "The Sandlot." It's a lot of fun to say and remains culturally relevant thirty years later.

But what other movie quotes come to mind when you think of the time? So many incredible movies were released during the 1990s, in a large number of genres. For instance, animated films were rising in popularity. During this decade we got movies like, "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "The Rescuers Down Under," "Pocahontas," "Anastasia," and "The Lion King."

There were a lot of movie trends awakening during the 1990s. For instance, during this decade we saw a lot of smaller-budget films become cult classics. Not only were there countless cult classics, but also films with incredible CGI effects. In the 1990s, we saw movies with advanced CGI like "Jurassic Park," "The Mummy," and "Forrest Gump." Interestingly, there was also a small surge in disaster-related films, like "Twister."
