10 Highest Grossing Movies of the '90s

Few decades are as iconic and memorable for filmmaking as the 90s, with highly creative and inventive films that were pushing the boundaries of technological capabilities being released constantly. Many films from the decade are still in contention for being considered some of the greatest films of all time, including The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, and The Matrix.

9 'Men in Black' Worldwide Box Office: $589.3 Million The initial film that launched a series of massively successful sci-fi action comedies, Men in Black is the quintessential example of what a 90s summer blockbuster was, laying the groundwork for blockbusters going forward. The film follows NYC cop James Edwards , who after an encounter with a mysterious alien lifeforce, is recruited by Agent K to join a secret organization that monitors and polices alien activity on Earth.

While the film was considered a miss and a downgrade to the original film according to critics and audiences of the time, the amount of hype and excitement for a new film in the franchise couldn't stop The Lost World from being a massive success worldwide. Considering the fact that the original film was the then-highest grossing movie of all time, it's certainly excusable that this sequel wasn't able to live up to the legacy and impact of the original.

Forrest Gump is easily one of the most iconic and critically acclaimed films of its era, often being in contention and conversation as one of the greatest films of all time by several film scholars. It's brilliant usage of modern technology and retelling of a distinct era of American history made it as much of a smash hit with audiences as it did with critics, being the quintessential American film of the era.
