Grab some popcorn and settle in for a movie marathon while you practise social distancing

If you&#39;re staying home for social distancing (and you&nbsp;really&nbsp;should be), chances are you&#39;re spending a lot of time watching movies and TV shows. And while the good news is streaming services seem to be one of the only sectors of pop culture releasing new content right now, sometimes you just want to enjoy an old&nbsp;classic. &#39;90s nostalgia is as strong as ever, and though we have to go some time without Bella Hadid&#39;s street style, there&#39;s no better place to look right now than a classic &#39;90s movie. Whether you&#39;re a lifelong Julia Roberts fan or want to revisit some childhood action classics, Netflix is full of options for you, so you&#39;re only a few clicks away from a fun-filled movie&nbsp;night with a quarantini in hand.

But if the internet has taught us anything, it&#39;s that there are&nbsp;so&nbsp;many options when it comes to &#39;90s movies (and literally everything else), and chances are you either feel overwhelmed with choices or uninspired due to one of your favourites&nbsp;being unavailable to stream. Well, we&#39;ve done the work for you and found 12 of the best &#39;90s movies to stream on Netflix now, so you can start (sort of)&nbsp;appreciating your time stuck at home.
