You ready to feel old? Like, really old? These things turned 20 this past year.
Jurassic Park
I don’t think I slept for two weeks after seeing this movie. Spielberg changed the game forever when he introduced CGI to Hollywood.
Beanie Babies
Gotta catch ’em all, or whatever.
NHL ’94
The cornerstone to any worthwhile Sega Genesis or SNES game collection.
The Intel Pentium Processor
Do you have a computer in your home or office? You can thank this thing.
Microsoft Windows
Corporate America wouldn’t be Corporate America without Microsoft Windows.
The Internet
The internet had been around for a while prior to 1993, but it wasn’t made available to the public until that year.
The Fugitive
Tommy Lee Jones + Harrison Ford + awesome script = Hollywood gold.
“I Will Always Love You”
I guarantee you this was played at every wedding reception from 1993-1997.
The X Files
Gillian Anderson brought redheads back into the mainstream and David Duchovny lived like it was still the ’80s.
NAFTA
This major treaty eliminated trade tariffs between the US, Mexico and Canada. It still stands as one of the most powerful, and controversial trade agreements in the world.
MJ’s First Retirement
We got Space Jam out of it, so it was a win-win for everyone.
“Standing Outside The Fire”
Garth Brooks was country music in the ’90s.
Mortal Kombat II
Nothing like ripping out your opponent’s spinal column to help you unwind after a long day at school.
Cool Runnings
Everything Disney touched in the ’90s turned to gold, including a movie about Jamaican bobsledders.
Ariana Grande
Singer, actress, total babe. Triple threat.
Bill Clinton’s Presidency
By far the most entertaining and controversial presidency since Nixon began this year and taught us all that blowies do not count as “sexual relations.”
The Waco Raids
A 51-day standoff between a religious group known as Branch Davidians and the FBI and ATF ended with a shootout and the total destruction of the compound. In total, four federal agents and six Branch members were killed.
Buckingham Palace Being Open To The Public
This was a huge deal in Great Britain, but was met with a “BFD” everywhere else.
Mrs. Doubtfire
This movie broke the mold and went places that no one has dared go since.
Sleepless In Seattle
Hanks and Ryan owned the romantic comedy scene in the ’90s. Absolutely owned it. Proposals at the top of the Empire State Building increased 600% after this movie came out.

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.

Actually one person has dared to follow in the footsteps of Robin Williams. That brave “man” was Tobias Fünke.
Who wants a banger in the mouth?
The Fugitive is easily one of the best movies of all time.
This would have been better if it was written 2 years ago and included someone’s sister you rubbed spots with on the list.
NHL 95 was better, but I guess doesn’t fit the whole 20 year thing.
I had no clue that the music video for “standing outside the fire” like that.
Being from Waco I’m sick and tired of having to hear about that God damn raid. Regardless, we have the best collegiate sports program in the country right now.
Dude, Baylor is known for their athletic program. #shitnobodysays
