Tuesday, Feb. 18, marks the 20th anniversary of one of the quintessential '90s films: "Reality Bites."
The movie has the perfect cast -- including Janeane Garofalo, Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn and Ben Stiller -- but it is Lelaina, played by Winona Ryder, who will always have our hearts.
Below are some of the reasons why 20 years later, Lelaina is still our '90s girl crush:
Her style
![tv show gifs]()
Her taste in TV
She knows how to win an argument
Her stressing about life at the old age of 23
Her singing voice
Her dance moves
Her upbeat demeanor

... but also her excitable nature
And finally, her taste in friends

BONUS: The Pop Up version of the Lisa Loeb "Stay" music video ... because it's the best.
