Iconic '90s Movies From Your Childhood That Need a Reboot, Like, Today

The first official trailer for the remake of the '91 surfer flick Point Break was released yesterday, and although it’s missing original stars Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, it still looks to be just as action-packed as the first. And do you remember the sci-fi favorite Independence Day from '96 (a.k.a. one of the highest-grossing films ever made and one of the films that made Will Smith a household name)? Yeah, that’s getting a sequel soon, too.

Those two remakes, in addition to Mad Max: Fury Road, Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, are creating a buzz for what the media is calling “the year of the movie reboot” and although we love the nostalgia we are getting from these blockbusters, there are still some classic '90s films we NEED to get remade this summer, like, ASAP.

Here are some of our fav flicks from the '90s that totally need to be rebooted, like, NOW.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Although this movie was already remade into a (flop) ABC Family series, a 10 Things I Hate About You reboot would be amazing because a) The Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare’s most underrated comedies and b) 10 Things I Hate About You is probably the best example of ’90s teen romance, so updating it for ~millennials~ would make it even better. Wouldn't a sequel to catch up on the lives of Padua High’s student body would be amaze?

The Craft (1996)

Good news: a remake of the supernatural cult classic about a coven of badass teen witches is already in the makes with Sony. And Leigh Janiak (of 2014’s Honeymoon) is set to direct it! Kinda bad news: there is still no set release date and we have no clue if the new cast will do the troupe of Neve Campbell, Fairuza Balk, Rachel True, and Robin Tunney justice (hopefully they do). The main reason we want to see a remake of The Craft so bad is because DUH, grungy, chic, fierce, and powerful women using magic to their advantage! What more do you need in a movie?!?

Dazed and Confused (1993)

It’d be tough to find someone who could replicate Matthew McConaughey’s trademark “alright, alright, alright,” but a 2015 version of Dazed and Confused would be awesome simply for the fact that that it would def be more relatable to a younger generation of movie-watchers who may not know all the weird high school traditions of the late ‘70s, lol.

Clueless (1995)

When you consider the huge cult following it still has in 2015, the quintessential ‘90s valley-girl classic would probs do amazing if rebooted! One thing we don’t want to see if there was ever a reboot, though: problematic Stacey Dash reprising her role as Dionne.

The Virgin Suicides (1999)

Hipsters everywhere would be up-in-arms if ever a remake was made, but Sofia Coppola’s telling of Jeffrey Eugenides coming-of-age novel of the same name would be a good candidate for a reboot because the story of how the Lisbon sisters are kept away from the real world of boys and bad influences would still be a good one to tell, especially in the age of internet and social media.

Poetic Justice (1993)

Poetic Justice is one of those great ‘90s movies that everyone seems to forget about when making their big lists (despite it being #1 at the box office when it came out). The film follows South Central poet Justice (played by Janet Jackson) and a flirtatious postman by the name of Lucky (played by Tupac Shakur) who is vying for her attention. Mix rom-com and drama with a whole lot of Maya Angelou’s poetry, and you’ve got the formula for the perfect Hollywood remake!
