Another movie that at least deserves to be shortlisted IMO is Trainspotting.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

You could also add Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels from the UK.
Trainspotting was also set in the 1980s.
But it did have Archie Gemmill.

:x to the idea of fucking a teenager.

Mrs. Robinson was alright with it.

She also thought Dustin Hoffman was attractive so...

Here's what IMDB says:

QuoteThe film doesn't intend to explicitly detail around what time it is set, and instead it hints its timeline through the music, as director Danny Boyle has stated in the making-of interview. Boyle also claims that it is set more precisely around the late 1980s. There are, throughout the feature, some suggestions that it may actually be set in the early 1990s, such as the techno music and a scene on which the characters talk about "Russian" sailors (which means that the Soviet Union may have already ended). Anyway, Trainspotting can be set anywhere between 1987 and 1993 (the year the novel was released).

Swingers is too upbeat.

Not money.

It's not money because the message of Swingers is that there are three possible fates in life: suicidal despair, superficial self-indulgence, or microscopically improbable connection with the one person in the universe you are compatible with.

I just assumed it must have been a 21st century film. :blush:

I think Jennifer Aniston and Diedrich Bader add extra weight to its 90s nature.
