10 Things About 90s Movies Everyone Misses Today
7. Empty House Parties
The teen movie really hit its stride in the 90s, as youth culture started to take over the mainstream.
Films like Clueless and Welcome to the Dollhouse showed what it was like to be a young woman at different stages of life, whilst American Pie and Never Been Kissed tracked teenagers trying to get lucky in love. Albeit from radically different perspectives.
Almost all 90s teen movies have one thing in common though - a giant house party sequence.
10 Things I Hate About You's house party is pivotal to its plot. Can't Hardly Wait takes place almost entirely at a house party. There's literally a 1990 movie called House Party! What further proof could you possibly need?
Yes, modern films have house parties too, but they just don't feel the same. The wildness and craziness is missing from this bygone era where health and safety hadn't been invented yet and the drink driving limit was more of a recommendation than a law.
The 90s perfected the house party scene in films, and for that, we owe it quite a lot.
But please, don't drink and drive. We'll get in trouble.
