Most dated movies of any given decade?

Pulp Fiction seems dated, which is amusing since it was deliberately retro.

Buckaroo Banzai, very 80's.

Most movies set in the era they were made are gonna seem dated.
 
See, these movies all *scream* 90's in that you see one second of footage and know that they were made in the 90's.

Of the 1990's, I'd have to say "Singles", both "Wayne's World" movies, "Single White Female", "Reality Bites", "Mallrats", "Encino Man", "Clueless", "The Craft", "Clerks", "White Men Can't Jump", "Sleepless in Seattle", "House Party", "Heathers", "Airheads".

That's all I got for now.
You forgot "Ghost".

1910's: little choice - Intolerance

For the 20's: Metropolis

For the 30's: Bringing up Baby (among many others like The Women and The Philadelphia Story... basically anything Cukor did in the 30's)

For the 40's: Gilda (and Casablanca, Laura...)

For the 50's: Rebel Without a Cause (and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes)

For the 60's: Barbarella (Maybe Hello, Dolly! too)

For the 70's: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Phantom of the Paradise, Hair. Hell, even All the President's Men.

For the 80's: Ladyhawke (stupid soundtrack) and Top Gun (or about anything of the 80's with Tom Cruise in it)

For the 90's: I might add Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

For the 2000's: I am tempted to say the Matrix trilogy, although it began in 1999, and the X-Men trilogy.

I am used to using "dated" in a bad way, but at least half of these ^ are dated in a good way.
