Modern cinema offers many worthy examples of the best comedies that have won viewer love. But no matter how bright new films turn out to be, history will always remember old paintings that were popular several decades ago. They made our parents generation laugh, so why not review them today? What do you remember the American comedies of the 90s? We will list the best of the best in this article.
Good family movies
Perhaps itâs worth starting with this category. âHome Aloneâ became a familiar Christmas story in which 7-year-old Kevin, left home without parents, copes with the robbers who overtook him, and at the end he meets his big noisy family again. Much nostalgic for childhood, an incredibly moving and funny story, as well as its continuation, has remained in the memory of many of us.
1994 âNanniesâ deservedly fall into American comedies of the 80-90s. Many believe that this is exclusively a teenage (and mostly children's) movie, but they are mistaken. According to statistics, this film remains among the favorites of an adult audience. The story of the twins Bradley and Stephen and the bodyguards David and Peter hired for them, who by chance turned out to also be twins, is filled with many comical situations that make the audience laugh at all ages.
What happens if the baby is alone? Little Bink got lost amidst the bustle of city streets and immediately turned into an object of increased attention. Worried parents offer a substantial amount to those who return it home. This is decided by scammers. But the cunning little boy is not so simple as it seems. He will give them such a brainwash that they themselves will refuse money!
Beethoven - a four-legged friend deserves a separate film
How many tears were shed from viewing this picture? The truly dramatic story of St. Bernard Beethoven could not pass by many families who watched the on-screen development of the plot. Having turned from a puppy into a huge dog, delivering a lot of trouble to Newtons, the dog becomes a potential object for medical research. But Newtons are not going to give their pet to a calculating veterinarian!
This family-run movie made it into the best American comedies of the 90s. The list of this direction can be continued with several continuation of the Beethoven story. The most successful of them - the second part - was released in 1993 and includes the previous cast.
The best adventure for the whole family
How hard it is to be a brilliant professor! Especially when you declare a new word in science, and children become the first models for experiments. Wayne Zalinsky has developed a special machine that can reduce the size of objects and things. By chance, the children who are next to them fall under its action and are reduced in size. Now they must get out of the garbage can, where they were sent by an unsuspecting engineer, and somehow return to normal. But before - fight with home cockroaches!
With a budget of 18 million, the movie âDarling, I have reduced childrenâ brought the creators a box office in excess of $ 200 million. This picture, filled with sparkling humor, is deservedly included in American comedies of the 80-90s. The list goes on with the 1992 sequel. Its plot is directly opposite to its predecessor, and therefore the name turned out to be appropriate - "Darling, I increased the child." This time, the victim of fatherâs experiments is the newborn son Adam, who is turning into a giant before his eyes. Can Las Vegas accept such an unusual resident?
It is worth recalling another comedy related to scientific inventions, which for some reason acquire a different character than the one for which they were designed. Paul and Diana are deep-seated researchers. They recently created an elixir of love that helps the two opposites converge. And if animal experiments have been successful, then how are things going with people? Having chosen himself as victims, the young couple, taking the drug, goes on a long amorous journey. âLove Drink No. 9â takes its place in the category âBest Comedies of the 90s (American)â.
Holiday traditions
This story can be called Christmas. Since only at this magical time the head of the Grizvolodov family intends to comply with all accepted principles regarding how to celebrate the holiday. To do this, bring the whole friendly family together, set a large table, and install a live Christmas tree with thousands of light bulbs on the street. Let the whole street have fun! The main thing is to avoid incidents in the form of a fire or an exploding turkey. The âChristmas holidaysâ of 1989 became, of course, a prime example of family comedies.
War of generations
Who said that children are worse than adults know what they need? The comedy of 1989 will try to refute this. Baby Miki, who has not yet been born, sits in her motherâs stomach and observes everything with her own eyes. Of course, commenting along the way.
The second part of the picture tells of a sister who appeared in Mika, who turns out to be a mischievous hooligan. Unfortunately, parents do not see this, and the main character has to look for ways to confirm their innocence. The third part of the franchise replenishes the Ubriakko family with two charming dogs who, like little heroes, discuss everything that is happening in the house ...
The best comedies of the 90s (American) include the film âWhoever Saysâ. The main roles of all parts were invariably played by John Travolta and Kersti Ellie, and Bruce Willis gave the voice to the youngest character.
Merciless games of adults
What will the children do when they learn about the imminent divorce of their parents? They will act very unusual, like the heroes of the picture âHouse Arrestâ, who sent the mother and father to the basement of the house. Until they solve their problems, they will remain in a confined space. And if the whole school finds out about this experiment, the same fate awaits the parents of other families ...
Nature's mistake
Julius and Vincent could become ordinary twins, but a genetic experiment leads to an unexpected turn. Once separated in childhood, they meet years later, however this event is somewhat overshadowed: in front of them they see an educated giant with a good heart and a little short man with a constant desire to get rich. Julius and Vincent hardly believe that they are twins. Figure out the truth to the heroes of the comedy will help travel to the mother, who is obliged to tell the truth.
âTwinsâ with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny De Vito starred in American comedies of the 90s. The list can be continued with another comedy that has a criminal connotation. The story is built around an African American named Ashtray, who moved to Los Angeles. He meets his family: his father looks very young, which cannot be cool, an elderly grandmother swears and smokes pigtails, and the local gangster turns out to be a cousin. The hero of the film âDo not threaten the South Central, drinking juice in your quarterâ has to make a choice how to stay in life: a good black man or a dangerous black man.
