One of our family’s regular traditions is pizza and movie night on Fridays. We started quarantining at home on a Friday afternoon, and in all of the chaos of getting what we needed and processing what was going on, we did not do our regular pizza and movie night. The next morning when our kids woke up they realized we had skipped it and were disappointed. That was the moment that helped me realize that we needed to keep our regular traditions going and we needed to double down on at home fun.
This last Friday was our fourth Friday night at home, and I’d already run out of movie ideas. Between rainy days, times where we just needed a break, and our regular movie nights, I had exhausted my list. It seems that each of our three kids all want to watch a different movie, which usually always ends in someone being upset. We are anxiously awaiting the new Trolls movie, but knowing new movies are going to be coming at a slow rate and feeling like we have watched all the same movies over and over, I realized we need a movie guide. And not just any movie guide: the 1990’s edition!
I’ve compiled this list of movies from the ‘90s and where you can find them. I plan to reference it myself, and I hope you find it helpful, too!
