Even though the process of renting a movie has become a thing of the past, the culture surrounding video stores still persists, with people reminiscing about the good old days and sharing their favorite VHS flicks online.

Here are 15 of the biggest VHS hits of the '90s, all certified masterpieces:

It should come as no surprise that this list includes some of the most iconic films of the era, as all of them became cult favorites in large part due to their popularity in video stores, where fans would constantly rent them for re-watching, keeping the hype alive long after their theatrical run ended.

However, this list also includes lesser-known films, with Heath Ledger's iconic romantic comedy "10 Things I Hate About You" being the most prominent example. Don't get us wrong, this lighthearted Shakespeare adaptation is still revered today, but no one seems to be calling it the best romantic movie ever made like they did back in the 90s.

Still, the popularity of films like "Titanic " and "The Lion King " continues to grow, with more and more younger fans jumping on their respected hypetrains, proving once again why they were named the best-selling VHS all those years ago.
