Universal City Studios LLC, doing business as Universal Pictures (also known as Universal Studios or simply Universal) is an American film production and distribution company headquartered at the Universal Studios complex in Universal City, California, and is the flagship studio of Universal Studios, the film studio arm of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast.
Founded in 1912 by Carl Laemmle, Mark Dintenfass, Charles O. Baumann, Adam Kessel, Pat Powers, William Swanson, David Horsley, Robert H.

Universal's most commercially successful film franchises include Fast & Furious, Jurassic Park, and Despicable Me. Additionally, the studio's library includes many individual films such as Jaws and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, both of which became the highest-grossing films of all time during their initial releases. Universal Pictures is a member of the Motion Picture Association (MPA), and was one of the "Little Three" majors during Hollywood's golden age.

Movies You Forgot Exist ('90s Edition)
<p>Millions of dollars spent on their budgets and marketing them to millions across the world, these movies (theatrical releases) became blips on actors' résumés. No notable awards, little to no box-office/DVD profits.</p><p>Little to nothing would merit any reference to these films in conversation, except to wonder if anyone remembered them. Good, bad - irrelevant. Utterly forgettable.</p><p>Feel free to suggest potential additions/subtractions.</p><p>I'm sure these films mean something to someone somewhere ... but I can't imagine why.</p>
Generation X/Millennial Classics (Nostalgia for the 90s Kid)
<p>I do not recommend a vast majority of these films. In fact, a good 80-90% of these are anywhere from bad to terrible. But this list is operating purely on nostalgia when it comes to being a kid who spent their first decade of life from 1990-1999; and is meant to showcase the movies that were put it front of our eyes that decade.</p><p>Being a 90s kid was weird. Parents were sometimes picky and obeyed the MPAA guideline, but many parents also didn’t really give a crap. Not many will have been able to watch the R-rated horror films or comedies on this list, but for those of us who weren’t sheltered - and potentially traumatized or desensitized in equal measure - here’s an epic canon of every film I could think of that was rented at the local Movie Gallery or Blockbuster to babysit us on the weekends (where it’s okay for “American Pie” to be sandwiched between “Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein” and “Baby Geniuses”). </p><p>If I missed anything of essentiality - leave a comment!</p>
