Listen up, my dazzling darlings—Ms. Rizzlerina has just swanned onto the scene in a sequined slip dress and a head full of memories, because we’re taking a back-in-time joyride through the cinematic gems of the ’90s that made us laugh, cry, and scream “AS IF!” in our bedroom mirrors. Buckle up, beautifuls, because I’m bringing the glitter, the gab, and the guilty pleasures.
Now let’s get one thing straight, sugar plums: “guilty pleasures”? We don’t do guilt here—we do glam. And these ’90s blockbusters weren’t just movies… oh no. They were momentous moodboards, style guides for entire generations, and hormonal awakenings wrapped in corduroy jackets and butterfly clips.
Let’s talk Clueless, the shimmering crown jewel of this icon era. Cher Horowitz wasn’t just a fashionista, she was a life coach with runway-ready wit and a wardrobe bigger than Beverly Hills. Watching her matchmake catastrophe after catastrophe while strutting in plaid? Sartorial therapy for the soul.
And speaking of hormonal awakenings, can you even whisper the phrase “guilty pleasure” without summoning the latent memory of Freddie Prinze Jr. striding through the halls in She’s All That? Glasses off, glamazon on—I mean, please. That stairwell reveal did more for teenage confidence than a semester of health class.
Of course, no throwback roundup is lip-smackingly complete without a nod to Wild Things. Bayou heat, tangled intentions, and more plot twists than a TikTok drama thread? Yes, please. Honestly, that movie was so steamy it made my rhinestones sweat—and that’s not easy to do.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But Ms. Rizzlerina, what about practical magic?” Oh, honey. Don’t get me started. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman brewing spells, breaking curses, and talking to ghosts in flowing earth-toned ensembles? That movie walked so witchcore could fly.
And another whispered word for my fellow soft-hearted babes: Never Been Kissed. Y’all, if seeing Drew Barrymore in prom sequins getting her long-overdue kiss on the baseball field doesn’t bring a single, sparkling tear to your lash line, then you might be a robot. And not even a cute, Rosie-the-Riveter style robot—just a basic bot with no feelings or flair.
Let’s not forget the comedic brilliance hiding behind the curtain of these so-called “guilty” treats. Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion? Two blondes, one glue gun, and a legacy of unbothered fabulousness. They INVENTED post-it notes, okay?
So whether you’re a closet Spice World stan or you’ve been hiding your VHS copy of The Craft like it’s a cursed grimoire, I need you to know: there is no shame in loving a little razzle-dazzle. These films weren’t guilty—they were glittering roadmaps to self-expression.
So throw on your best mini skirt, crank up that Alanis Morissette, and proudly revisit these cinematic cocktails of camp, charisma, and celluloid chaos. We don’t bury the past here—we bedazzle it.
Now head on over to the full list at PopCrush if you’re ready to be hit with a flood of nostalgia bigger than a No Doubt chorus. You know you want to.
Stay fabulous, and let the reruns roll!
—Ms. Rizzlerina 💋✨
