5 iconic ‘90s movies streaming on Netflix — including a gripping space drama with Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon

In the 1990s, Netflix has a variety of iconic movies that can provide hours of entertainment. Here are five standout films that are worth streaming: "A League of Their Own" (1992) is a beloved comedy-drama that follows the story of two sisters who join the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during World War II. The film features Tom Hanks as coach Jimmy Dugan and is known for its memorable one-liners and charming cast.

"Fargo" (1996) is a neo-noir crime thriller written and directed by the Coen brothers, set in snowy Minnesota. The film follows a family's attempt to cover up a kidnapping gone wrong, with Tom Hanks, Frances McDormand, and Steve Buscemi delivering outstanding performances. "Cruel Intentions" (1999) is a stylish teen drama that reimagines a classic novel as a tale of manipulation and seduction among Manhattan's elite students.

Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Michelle Gellar lead the cast in this provocative and enduring cult classic. "Apollo 13" (1995) is a gripping space docudrama starring Tom Hanks as astronaut Jim Lovell. The film chronicles the real-life 1970 Apollo 13 mission, which was forced to abort its lunar landing after an oxygen tank explosion.

The astronauts must work with Mission Control to find a way back to Earth while facing dwindling supplies and time constraints. Finally, "Liar Liar" (1997) is a comedy featuring Jim Carrey as a lawyer who accidentally gains the ability to lie after swearing never to do so again. Directed by Tom Shadyac and produced by Brian Grazer, this film remains a feel-good favorite for its humor and Carrey's iconic performance.
