Same here on movies making you want to live in an era before your time. Being a teen/young adult in Los Angeles in the late 60s/early 70s seems like it would have been amazing.
Los Angeles would have been the absolute bomb for teenage me in the eighties. Partying on Sunset Strip every night? Hell yeah!

The most "90s" movies I can think of:
Mallrats
Tower Records
Varsity Blues
Scream
Can't Hardly Wait
Clueless
Encino Man
Airborne
Camp Nowhere
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II
Angels in the Outfield (remake)
Blank Check
Rookie of the Year
Speed
Lethal Weapon 3
Last Action Hero
Blue Chips
The Program
Hackers
The Net
If someone wants a time warp to know what the decade was like, just watch all of those. They encapsulate basically every genre perfectly.

The late 80s were a blast. But the music in the early 80s is probably my favorite era and it seems like it would have been fun to be in high school when arcades were at their peak.
When I was in high school I saw:
Ozzy and Randy Rhoads on the Diary of a Madman tour
Rush on the Moving Pictures tour
Van Halen on the Fair Warning tour
I also saw Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck in the same concert.
We didn't know how good we had it back then.
So of course Fast Times is my movie.

Bad News Bears is a good call. Hit the 70s as a kid or pre-teen perfectly.
Dazed & Confused could practically be a documentary of my high school years if you took out the hazing stuff (Class of ‘82).

I like the soundtrack but none of the movies set in NYC in the 70s are very nostalgic for me.
The Smokey and the Bandit films and Nashville are a few that really look like the 70s that I grew up in.
There was a movie called The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia(Dennis Quaid, Mark Hamill, Kristy McNichol) that was filmed in and around my hometown when I was 9 or 10. It's not very good but I'm so glad that it exists, just to see the buildings, scenery, etc from an era that's long gone)

American Pie
Varsity Blues
Neither of them were very realistic, but still some nostalgia there.

Not a movie and I didn't live in either era but for me it would be Little House on the Prairie or Andy Griffith.

There’s a BMX movie that came out in 1986 called Rad. That’s back when I was 7-8 years old and rode my bike everywhere. I wore that movie out on VHS.
And then just about every boy who was a kid in the ‘80s and had any sense of fun and adventure about them is sentimental toward The Goonies. Hell, a couple of years ago on a trip to Oregon I made a point to visit the jail and Cannon Beach where some of the scenes were filmed.

American Pie is a good one. It’s late 90s but the soundtrack alone just reeks of teen angst of that time
