Mid 90s family friendly Christmas action comedy with Arnie Schwarzenegger as a workaholic dad who keeps breaking promises to his kid (a young Jake Lloyd. Yes, that Jake Lloyd who would later play kid Anakin Skywalker, who grows up to become Darth Vader) and ends up hunting all over town on Christmas Eve for this seasons must-have Christmas present: a turbo-man action doll.
Amusing enough, but not one of Arnie's better kid-friendly offerings IMO.

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Bernard Cornwell adaptations.
I (generally) like his books.
I've yet to encounter a good adaptation, with the possible exception of the 90s Sharpe series (with Sean Bean), although those definitely needed a bigger budget!
This is loosely based on Cornwell's 'Warlord' trilogy - The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur - which Cornwell himself views as his best works.
They're a 'realistic' retelling of the Arthurian stories, basically.

I have and will always hate ABBA
I was brought up on music pre-90s and my parents listened to a lot.... And I mean a lot of Disco but no matter how fun and catchy ABBA's music tends to be to most people there is just something about their music that is just nails on a chalkboard to me and even after giving them another try not that I'm older I still just hate their music so damn much.

I remember playing this back in the back in 90s and been impressed by the game I think it was my first ever shoot em up type at the time I was still playing games like mario bros and other same type games and I tried this game and I was blown away by the graphics thought it was too gory at first but I got over that eventually still one of the best first person shooter games ever

Great Batman Film everyone should watch !!!
If you love batman as much as I do this film will surely live up to your exceptions. Yes it was made in the 90s, however the animation is still top notch. Plus Mark Hamil as the Joker and Kevin Conroy as Batman is just fantastic. Now when it comes to the plot it contains themes that are relatable to children as well as adults. Overall a good solid Batman film.

Mid-90s TV Sean Bean starring TV movie, loosely based on the Bernard Cornwell novel of the same name.
I say loosely based, but as not as loosely as the previous (Sharpe's Gold): here, the rough outline is pretty much the same as in the novel - sure, there are liberties taken and subplots left out and/or changed, but this *is* recognizably the same story, complete with Brigadier Guy Loup, the spanish Real Compania Irelande (sp?) et al
