10 Things About 90s Movies Everyone Misses Today

10. Fewer Franchises

Not to sound too much like an old man yelling at a cloud, but why is everything a "universe" these days?

Marvel are certainly the biggest offender, but they're not the only culprits. DC, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, that stupid "Dark Universe" idea that Universal dropped after about 30 seconds.

What the hell was all that about?

In an effort to serve the almighty dollar and drown fans in content, film studios and producers immediately think "franchise" as soon as anything new gets puts in front of them.

Whilst the 90s certainly had its fair share of big film series, they weren't so in your face about it.

Some of the most popular films of the decade were stand-alones. Titanic, Forrest Gump, Armageddon, and Ghost all rank amongst the highest-grossing releases from the time and none of them were part of wider plan.

What's even worse is that subsequent decades gave us sequels to 90s movies that nobody wanted! A Men in Black II anyone? How about a follow-on to Independence Day 20 years later that only half the original cast are involved in?

It's sickening, it truly is.
