Hilarious, iconic, and very rewatchable, these are movies that defined a decade.
The ’90s gave us some of the most unforgettable comedies ever made — the kind you quote at parties, still find on streaming, and somehow never get tired of. Whether you were renting VHS tapes on Friday nights or catching these in packed theaters, these films still bring the funny.
Let’s count down the 10 comedy movies that truly owned the ’90s:
10. Liar Liar (1997)
The truth shall set you…hilarious.
Jim Carrey’s high-energy performance as a lawyer cursed to tell the truth for 24 hours is a nonstop showcase of physical comedy and facial expressions only he could pull off.
9. Notting Hill (1999)
“I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy…”Notting Hill is the definition of romantic comedy at its finest warm, witty, and effortlessly charming. Hugh Grant plays the awkward British bookseller, and Julia Roberts is the world’s biggest movie star, yet somehow their on-screen chemistry feels genuine and grounded. Add in a quirky group of side characters, dry humor, and a killer soundtrack, and you’ve got a rom-com that hits all the right notes. It’s the kind of movie you can watch on a lazy Sunday and still get swept away every time.
8. Galaxy Quest (1999)
Never give up. Never surrender.
A loving spoof of sci-fi fandom that somehow became one of the funniest and most heartfelt movies of the decade. Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman = perfection.
7. Clueless (1995)
A high school classic that still totally holds up. Clueless is smart, stylish, and packed with one-liners. Loosely based on Jane Austen’s Emma, it gave the teen comedy a fashion-forward, Valley Girl twist that felt fresh then and still feels iconic now. Alicia Silverstone shines as Cher Horowitz, the well-meaning matchmaker with a heart of gold and a killer closet. And let’s not forget: this was Paul Rudd’s first major film role — and yes, he somehow looks exactly the same.
6. The Birdcage (1996)
Robin Williams. Nathan Lane. South Beach. Chaos.
This fabulous farce about a gay couple pretending to be straight for conservative in-laws is a masterclass in timing, camp, and feel-good comedy with a message.
5. Office Space (1999)
If you’ve ever worked in a cubicle, this one hits hard.
This cult favorite perfectly nails the soul-crushing reality of 9-to-5 office life — and introduced us to the joy of smashing printers.
4. Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
He’s not just a nanny …
Robin Williams delivers a memorable performance, blending laugh-out-loud comedy with real emotional depth. Behind the outrageous disguise is a heartfelt story about love, family, and the lengths a parent will go to stay close to their kids.
3. Groundhog Day (1993)
Every day is the same… until it’s not.
Bill Murray finds comedy (and redemption) in repetition. Funny, smart, and sneakily profound, this is a classic.
2. Home Alone (1990)
Home alone is one of the most iconic movies of the 90`s. Home Alone isn’t just a comedy classic it’s a holiday essential. With its perfect blend of laughs and heartfelt moments, this film turned Macaulay Culkin into a superstar and launched one of the most beloved movie franchises of the ’90s. No Christmas season is complete without it.
- My Cousin Vinny (1992)
Joe Pesci is unforgettable as Vinny Gambini, a fast-talking, wildly unqualified New York lawyer who somehow turns a backwoods murder trial into a funny legal showdown. A movie that meant an Oscar for Marisa Tomei, My Cousin Vinny blends great humor with fantastic dialogue and endlessly quotable moments. It’s smart, hilarious, and completely rewatchable, a true ’90s classic that deserves the top spot. Courtroom comedy doesn’t get better than this.
