Jason Biggs could cure cancer tomorrow but he'll still be known best as the kid who f***ed a pie.

Everyone agrees "American Beauty" is dreadful, and there's no way to explain why we all liked it in 1999.

"The Matrix" is a movie about a red pill, birthing an entire online subculture of society's worst people.

The details changed — Staplers? Fax machines? What are they? — but office ennui is timeless.

M. Night Shyamalan has made 74 movies since "The Sixth Sense," and all of them are putrid.

Apart from "GoldenEye," every Brosnan Bond flick is interchangeable. No one knows which one is which.

The first cinematic adaptation of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" was the 1960 French film "Purple Noon."

There have been rumors for years of an impending fourth "Austin Powers" film. God help us all.

It's going to take an extinction level event to get them to stop making "Toy Story" sequels.

Sorry, "Clueless" fans, but "10 Things I Hate About You" is the best teen movie of the '90s. Don't @ me.

I know you think I made "Three to Tango" up, but I swear to God it is a real movie that really exists.

This is one of those movies you paid $10 to watch even though you were interested in only one scene.

"Three to Tango" is a real movie, but we made this one up. There's no such movie as "Lost and Found."

Although its iconic in its memory today, the film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel “Fight Club” was a total box office bomb in 1999, grossing only $37 million from its $63 million budget.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson followed up the success of “Boogie Nights” with the epic drama “Magnolia,” which starred just about every ‘90s box office draw you can think of, including Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly and Tom Cruise.

“Boys Don’t Cry” was way ahead of its time. Hilary Swank earned her first Oscar the following year for her role as a transgeder man. Chloë Sevigny starred alongside her, making this movie a must watch for any film fan.

Malcolm D. Lee’s directorial debut made nearly four times its $9 million budget, reminding everyone that inclusivity in film is totally necessary. This rom-com still holds up, unlike others from the ‘90s.

“The Iron Giant” became an instant animated movie classic, marking one of the last great traditionally animated films. Just kidding, the Giant was animated almost entirely using CGI, but it could’ve fooled you, huh?

What makes “Galaxy Quest” the best sci-fi parody movie of all time is its incredible cast. Casting Sigourney Weaver to joke on her “Alien” role was a stroke of genius and Alan Rickman’s chops are enough to carry any film.

“Cruel Intentions” is like the R-rated version of “Gossip Girl” with some ‘90s powerhouses in the cast. Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair and Ryan Phillippe gave audiences something to talk about and earned this movie over $70 million at the box office.

“Election” still holds up as one of the most brutally honest portrayals of high school politics on film and probably says more about the current political system than anything Aaron Sorkin has written.

This meta-comedy still manages to be one of the weirdest things ever shown on screens and thankfully it does it well. “Being John Malkovich” picked up three Oscar nominations that year.

This British crime comedy starring Jason Statham and Sting was one of the biggest box office draws in England in 1999, making over $20 million. It was also Statham’s first role as an actor.

This 1999 film takes place in 1991 during a military mission in Iraq. Perfect setting for comedy, right? Even stranger is its cast, which includes George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube, taking the comedy potential through the roof.

“Bowfinger” is as great as a buddy-film starring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy can get. Martin as a Z-grade film producer and Murphy as his paranoid star really work well together in this Frank Oz directed vehicle.

Completely dominating the sad girl must-watch list, “Girl, Interrupted” earned Angelina Jolie an Oscar and blessed us all with her cringe-worthy acceptance speech where she confessed her incredible love for her brother.

It’s hard to remember how big of an event this movie was for all ‘90s kids. The Pokémon movie premiered on a Wednesday, which led to so many kids blowing off school that a new illness was coined, “the Pokéflu.”

“October Sky” was a great Jake Gyllenahaal vehicle and a total tear-jerker, but now it comes across as a movie made for substitute teachers to show in class when there isn’t any work to do.

Any Nicolas Cage movie is gonna have its ups and downs. In this one, he plays an ambulance driver in the mean streets of New York. It was also the last movie to ever be sold on LaserDisc.

“The Mummy” was the successful first installation of the franchise that has continued much longer than it needed to. Brendan Fraser plays a dumbed-down Indiana Jones type, which is enough fun for just about one feature length film.

The most memorable aspect of “Ghost Dog” is the score, written by Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA. The rest of the movie was a little too weird to get mainstream attention, but its cool factor still holds up.

Perhaps the only good movie made from a “Saturday Night Live” character, Molly Shannon totally rocked it in “Superstar.” Why hasn’t she led any major films since?

“Analyze This” is an absolutely forgettable moment in Robert De Niro’s career. He’s usually got pretty good comedic timing, but when he’s playing opposite Billy Crystal, he is just not that funny.

"The Green Mile" was an epic, which might be best exemplified by the fact that the movie required two VHS tapes to view (remember that problem?). Michael Clark Duncan earned an Oscar nom for his role, which included a scene where hundreds of bees fly out of his mouth.

“Varsity Blues” has all of the tropes of any good football movie: a tragic injury, a funny linebacker for comic relief, and a dramatic lead up to the ‘big game.’ What more could you ask for?

“Dogma” was Kevin Smith’s comedic answer to genre shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Charmed” and it had some solid casting decisions. Alanis Morissette plays God, that’s all you need to know.

“Jawbreaker” is basically just “Heathers” in the ‘90s, and we’re not mad about that. What is unsettling is Marilyn Manson’s cameo in the movie, which only happened because he was engaged to star Rose McGowan at the time.

After “Twin Peaks” and before “Mulholland Drive” David Lynch directed the G-rated and Disney-produced “The Straight Story.” It’s a totally tame tear-jerker based on the story of a man who takes a 240-mile drive on a lawn mower to meet his estranged brother.
