Sadly this might be the most 90s of 90s movie. Others like Terminator are sequels, or movies like You've Got Mail are scripts written 10 years prior. Biodome is a time capsule of mid 1990s.

I know a few other people have already said it, but I'll agree: Hackers, 100%. Late DOS/early-GUI computers + skate punk aesthetic? Can't get more '90s than that!
Speed or mallrats depending on what kind of vibe you’re going for
edit: upon reflection I will change my Sandra bullock movie to “the net”. Terrible, but strong 90s vibes
Space Jam?
Maybe it's just because my mid teens were the late 90s, but my vote would have to be for either Half Baked or American Pie.
As a counterweight to all the american movies on this thread:
Mallrats 100%, followed by the Action Park documentary
Friday 1995
Second post, but I realized the answer might actually be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze.
John Frankenheimer’s Ronin (1998) but not in the way you maybe mean. This movie simply has to take place when it does in the 90s. The plot just wouldn’t work otherwise.

~~Goof Troop~~ A Goofy Movie would be one of my picks. 1995, I think.

Gremlins 2. Not sure any other movie quote captures the absolute cocaine fuelled Hollywood of the early 90s.

There's also a terrible John Leguizamo movie called The Pest, that I'm genuinely amazed didn't end his career right there. The wife was suprised I hadn't seen it, and as we started she just went "you're going to hate it".
She was not wrong.

I'm saying Fern Gully.
New answer: Clerks.
Speed.
Con Air is the most 90's movie that ever 90's its way through the 90's.
The super Mario bros. Movie
Mallrats
Am I the only person who watched Singles (1993)? OK, pretty forgettable romcom, but absolutely the soundtrack of the 90s.

SubUrbia is the 90's distilled for me.

As for movies from the 90's, Jurassic Park would be my pick, with Forrest Gump a close second, but points docked for not being based wholey in the 90's.
Akira
Okay, it's actually 1988, but it definitely got that 90s anime feel.

Wayne's World.
Wayne's World was trying to recapture Mike Myers' childhood in the 70s and early 80s. So doesn't capture spirit of the 90s.
