From neon crop tops and bright scrunchies to faded grunge jeans and snobby penny loafers, 90s fashion was a bit all over the place. But the decade brought Americans more than just mom jeans and Keds: some of the country’s most recognizable blockbusters first hit theaters before Y2K.

The team at FrontierBundles.com decided to answer that question in 2021. Using digital search data, we created a map of each state’s most googled 90s flick. If you happen to be getting a little deja vu, it’s not just in your head: our team published the first edition of this study back in 2018.
