It's time for some seriously nostalgia-fuelled homework as STACK and JB Hi-Fi celebrate the movies and television series that defined the 1990s.

FILM

STICKERED STOCK ONLY

Jonathan Demme’s superb adaptation of Thomas Harris’s best-seller delivered an iconic movie villain in Hannibal Lecter and won Academy Awards in the five major categories – Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

This quirky, violent, dialogue-driven heist flick got tongues wagging at the Sundance Film Festival in 1992, announcing the arrival of a former video store clerk turned filmmaker named Quentin Tarantino. Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Steven Spielberg pulled off the impossible – a knockout adaptation of Michael Crichton's best-seller complete with authentic looking dinosaurs. The CGI revolution had truly arrived, and movies would never be the same again. (1993)

Pygmalion received a winning makeover in director Gary Marshall's beloved rom- com, which launched the then 22-year-old Julia Roberts to the top of the A-list and became the third highest grossing film of 1990 in the US. Pretty Woman (1990)

Near, far, wherever you are, it's likely you went to see James Cameron's romantic epic – the first film to reach the billion- dollar figure in global box office, making it the biggest motion picture of all time until Avatar claimed the top spot in 2010. Titanic (1997)

The Matrix (1999)

“Whoa!” The Wachowskis' mind-blowing cyberpunk epic reinvented sci-fi and filmmaking for the new millennium. It also made us question our own reality, coined the VFX term "bullet time", and spawned a devoted fan following and three sequels.
