Men in Black (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1997 / DCP)
Director Barry Sonnenfeld’s sci-fi comedy based on the hugely popular comic book was one of the biggest blockbusters of the 1990s, thanks in no small part to the unusual (yet totally perfect) pairing of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. Also starring Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D’Onofrio, Rip Torn, and Tony Shalhoub. A streetwise NYPD detective joins a secret organization that polices extraterrestrial affairs on Earth.

Reality Bites (Ben Stiller, 1997)
Director Ben Stiller’s Reality Bites has taken on a life of its own since its release in 1994, becoming a beloved cult-classic touchstone for anyone who came of age (or didn’t) during the 1990s. Starring Ethan Hawke, Winona Ryder, Janeane Garofalo, Ben Stiller, and Steve Zahn. Generation X Graduates face life after college with a filmmaker looking for work and love in Houston.
