Music plays a very big role in movies. If we remember the movie hits of the 80s and 90s, we will immediately realize that each of them was accompanied by its own unforgettable musical hit, which often became so successful precisely because we heard it in a certain movie.

Although in Slovenia we do not have the same "problems" as in the USA, where the age limit for watching a movie in the cinema is more than just a warning/recommendation, as children we all found ourselves in situations when our parents covered our eyes because of inappropriate scenes, ranging from excessive violence to sex, or they even banned us from viewing it. We've collected some of those from the 90s that you could only watch as an adult.
