From crime dramas to romantic comedies and action flicks to family entertainers, 1990 saw a clutch of big commercial hits that Hollywood Gossip went on to becoming classics.
With Pretty Woman turning 25 this month, we list out some of our favourites that are also turning silver this year.
8 Hollywood hits that turn 25 this year
Pretty Woman
Originally conceptualised as a gritty take on prostitution, the film ended up being one of the world's most-watched romantic comedies. Richard Gere played the quintessential 'Mills and Boon' hero, successful businessman Edward Lewis who hires a hooker named Vivian (Julia Roberts). The plot of a gorgeous hooker with a heart of gold struck a chord with women all over the world. The title song, Gere and Roberts' warm chemistry and her million-dollar smile brightened up this fairytale story. It has many candid moments that continue to be referenced in romantic movies even today.
Die Hard 2
Twice more fun than its prequel, the second installment of the franchise was packed with action sequences. The film sees Bruce Willis in top form. The New York city cop-and-criminal setting is brought out realistically. It's hard for fans to not watch this on loop, even now.
Goodfellas
The Martin Scorsese classic is a period crime drama that flaunts its swagger on its sleeve. Violence and colourful language aside, who can forget Ray Liotta's immortal line from the film - 'As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster'.
