This is one that you may just have to explain to your children. Because the first time I saw this, I had no clue what was happening.

The voice of a generation, Cher Horowitz is a '90s icon that nobody can ever forget. Your kids may not understand the valley girl lingo, or the aggressive nods to all things '90s, but they will understand the classic teenage trope of love, family, and the struggles of high school.

Though kids these days may never understand your love for Leonardo DiCaprio, teaching them about Jack Dawson is good crash course in Leo Love 101. The allure of Jack Dawson in the '90s was strong. And even though many people think he shouldn't have died according to the physics of that door in Titanic, it made for an epic love story.

In prison for more than 30 years, Red became a sort of gang leader for the long-lifers in Shawshank, and takes Andy, the movie's protagonist, under his wing.

Though Edward Scissorhands might be the stuff of nightmares if watched too early, it is a beautiful movie.

The ultimate angry 90's girl role model, Kat Stratford was a hero for every girl in the '90s who didn't quite fit the mold.
