This movie follows the life of Selena Quintanilla, the Queen of Tejano music, whose songs, style, and heart still influence the world today. Jennifer Lopez brought Selena to life in a way that gave everyone chills, and the movie has become an absolute classic in the Latino community (and beyond!). Between the great music, Selena’s infectious joy, and pure cultural pride, this is the perfect film to warm your heart during the fall. Unfortunately, we all know how it ends, but Selena’s life is worth celebrating and this movie is a good way to do that.
The Craft (1996)

The Craft follows four high school friends who form a coven and start experimenting with magic—only to realize that playing with supernatural forces comes with major consequences. This cult classic is edgy, mysterious, and all kinds of spooky. Plus, it’s bursting with ’90s style and attitude to make you want to bring back chokers and dark lipstick.
My Family / Mi Familia (1995)

My Family captures the immigrant experience, family bonds, and the struggles and triumphs of maintaining cultural identity in the U.S. You’ll laugh, cry, and probably call your loved ones after watching it. It’s one of those films that gives you all the feels and triggers the nostalgia, so be ready for that.
Clueless (1995)

Follow Beverly Hills teen Cher Horowitz as she navigates friendship, love, and a few makeover projects, all while serving fashion inspo that still feels relevant today. It’s funny, charming, and endlessly quotable, and it captures all the ridiculous fun of high school in the ’90s. The witty banter and playful rivals-to-lovers romance will also hit the spot for a feel-good night in. Plus, who doesn’t love Paul Rudd?
