About this picker

One press, one pick worth watching

The nineties are a comfort decade for a reason: the studios still made mid-budget films for adults, the comedies were quotable, and the thrillers had endings. A random 90s movie from this picker is always one released between 1990 and 1999. Add a genre to narrow it, or Funny for the comedies you half remember from a friend's basement.

Every pick links to a page with where it streams, ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic, the trailer, and the cast. The full random movie picker lets you mix any genre, mood, and decade, the What to watch quiz turns six questions into a ranked lineup, and the binge calculator tells you how long a series will take. Limelight itself is a free download for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
