"You'll believe a man can fly", "In space, no one can hear you scream", "Be Afraid. Be very afraid", and "A long time ago in a galaxy far away". There's an art to forming the perfect movie tagline. A short sentence or two that encapsulates the movie it's attached to, setting the scene and selling the picture to the potential audience. If the tagline does its job then if we hear it many, many years later we will recall the film it's from. I would imagine most of you went straight to Superman: The Movie, Alien, The Fly and Star Wars with those opening four examples.
Just as previously when we rounded-up 30 taglines all taken from classic 1980s movies, we have a new collection from the 1990s below. All of them are taken from films you no doubt know but are you able to name them from their taglines alone? There are no prizes, it's just for entertainment, and you'll find a link to the answers at the very bottom of the page. Of course, you could go looking on the internet for clues but where's the fun in that?
Let us know in the comments below how many of these 1990s movie taglines you can name. A few of them are pretty tough, even though they were attached to some big movies of the day. At least one is particularily tricky. With this in mind, we reckon, without cheating, 25 out of 30 is a pretty decent score. Good luck...
1. "An Adventure 65 Million Years In The Making."
2. "Nice planet. We'll take it!"
3. "EARTH - Take a good look. It could be your last."
4. "Earth. It was fun while it lasted."
