Personally I'd go with Independence Day if I had to pick a movie that felt the most 90s.

Yep, it's really a lot of fun. A little hard on some parts of both southern culture and NY culture, but just enough to make it even funnier. Not just Pesci as a lawyer and all the lawyer jokes; making a judge out of Fred Gwynne so he could make all those facial expressions he'd perfected was a casting winner. So was Marisa Tomei. And the characters that played witnesses ... to this day when I'm saying 'I guess' it always comes out with that drawl. Every scene in the film was comical first, and never let up. Masterpiece.

Couldn't agree more. I'm a car, guy so the fact that the final argument hinged on that was aces. And I think my favorite part was just a little thing that happened at the beginning. Most people wouldn't even notice, but when the prison guard brought Vinny to the jail cell, Vinny gave him a tip. Just cracked me up!

Fun fact, did you know Marisa Tomei won the Oscar for her performance? Totally deserved it.

Yeh, she was outstanding. That 'poor little deer' scene in that Brooklyn accent alone.
