Plenty of slice-of-life movies from the 1990s stood out as these stories were grounded in well-developed characters, nuanced moments, and life circumstances that mimic the everyday happenings of that era. A slice-of-life movie is a film that gives time to the small, seemingly insignificant occurrences that make up day-to-day existence rather than focusing on grand, dramatic plot points. This was seen in 1990s cult classics that represent the slacker mentalities of wayward Generation X 20-somethings and heartfelt dramas focusing on the life histories of their characters.
