If you got 8\/8, then we\u2019re impressed. There are some movies of the \u201890s where you forget there even was a love interest, and in some cases, there were a few. Make this your excuse to cozy up tonight and put on your favorite \u201890s rom-coms and dramas, whether you got them all right or not!<\/p>\n

The Power of \u201890s Romances<\/p>\n

The 1990s were a decade filled with beautiful and deep romances, even when the characters only knew each other for a few days. It was an era before smartphones, when people were willing to let a relationship develop and were in for the ride, even if it meant the romance didn\u2019t happen until two-thirds of the way through.<\/p>\n

It also helped that there were some of the most popular actors paired together. Think back to Pretty Woman<\/a>, giving us Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, or Sleepless in Seattle <\/a>with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. <\/p>\n

Even a romance that ended in tragedy was something that could score well with audiences without too many complaints. Sure, plenty will try to argue that they could both fit on the door\u2014they could, but that door would have likely sunk from their weight\u2014but the finality of Jack and Rose\u2019s love story is what kept us coming back to Titanic<\/a>. It helped to keep the hope alive that they could be happy together if there was a chance.<\/p>\n

This was also an era of Shakespearean tragedies and iconic plays being turned into movies, bringing romances that we still wish we could find. 10 Things I Hate About You<\/a> is a teen retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, and you can\u2019t tell us that you didn\u2019t fall for Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles\u2019 portrayal of teen romance.<\/p>\n

When you need some warmth and love, it\u2019s time to turn to the movies of the \u201890s.
