A Year in Film History: 1990

The year is 1990 and we are hot off the heels of a decade that saw the massive rise of Hollywood blockbusters, action movie stars and major advancements in practical effects. And the year 1990 was no slouch with the releases of Dances with Wolves, Goodfellas, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghost, Pretty Woman, Home Alone, Edward Scissorhands and much more.

Welcome to A Year In Film History, a new series where we’re going to go year by year and take a look at all of the interesting, controversial and sometimes whacky things that happened in the film industry. In this video we'll be focusing on 1990 with its controversial best picture winner, the birth of IMDB and the start of the second golden age of TV with Twin Peaks.

Please note:
Due to copyright issues, some parts of the Dances with Wolves section had to be removed at 1:35. Nothing too important but we'll list the removed facts here:
- Kevin Costner starred in, directed and produced the film
- It was difficult finding someone to finance the film and it exceeded its $15 million budget after which Costner had to spend $3 million from his own pocket to keep production going
- A reason for going over budget was because of its scale. It took nearly 3 weeks to shoot the buffalo hunt scene in which there were 3,500 bison, 20 wranglers, 24 bareback Native American stunt riders and 150 extras. A link to this scene has been added to the description.

It's really incredible just how much happens every year when you really break it down. We're just living our lives one day at a time, and we often have boring days. Yet, relevant events are happening on a literal daily basis. It's wild to catalog these things.

Goodfellas was not short by any means, and I would say has left a much larger cultural imprint than Dances With Wolves.

Thank you for making me feel old.
I watched the TV release of Dances with Wolfs when I was a kid.
Four days. An hour of film a day.

This is great. We need more video series like this. Exploring film history is so fascinating, because it informs me so much and connects me to the culture and history around me. I actually have wanted to do my own series of exploring movies of the 80's. I just haven't gotten the writing and best feel for it yet. I forgot how many classics were released in 1990 alone! Dances with Wolves is one of my favorites. It's in my top 3. I normally don't care for the western genre, but DWW is so personal and the acting and story is so great. It deserved the awards it got. And kudos to Costner for it being his first time directing! I believe he's currently directing another western movie at this time.

I still remember clear as day when ninja turtles came out. I got to the theater and the line was past the building and the whole thing was packed up every single seat and I was not disappointed at all.

I found this channel recently and fall in love instantly. What makes your content so great is amount of details I’ve never heard before. You are the real deal.

And yes - it’s true - there was a voting in Poland for Home Alone to be played during Christmas - I’ve voted too 😂

[willstarr]

I don’t even leave comments on videos but I just wanted to pop in and say I love this video and I’m very excited to see more of these.

It's mind blowing to think how far ago 1990 was, and how many iconic movies were released back then. Makes me wonder what are the movies/tv-streaming series people will be talking about 30 years from now? And what will be hold as a classic.

Goodfellas is a flawless movie. And it's influence is far, far reaching. Case closed.

During the 90s I couldn't wait for the 2000s, now I want to go back to the 90s...

Unbelievably underrated: 1971

1971: The French Connection, The Last Picture Show, A Clockwork Orange, Harold and Maude, Straw Dogs, Fiddler on the Roof, Klute, Sunday bloody Sunday

The beginning of the greatest decade!!!!

The craziest fact is that the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 in 2023.

[FemaletroubleOINKOINK]

[xcapeasmr]

Nice job! this was done so well and I feel covered exactly what most remembered well. There’s a lot of hard work done with your videos 🙌🙌💯

Cool video!! A lot of coming-of-age teen comedies, were made before 1990, and after; and a lot of them are classics!! However; the first ever teen comedy with an all Black cast, was released in 1990! It also spawned 3 sequils & a recent reboot!! That movie is House Party!! How did that not make this list?? 🤔
