What do you think is the most quotable line from Clueless?
It’s a common Hollywood strategy to take an old story and put some sort of modern twist on it. For some films, this strategy works really well. Just take a look at modern classics like 10 Things I Hate About You (based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew) and Bridget Jones’ Diary (based on Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice). And, for others, not so much. Looking at you, She’s The Man (based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night).
Clueless is one of those films that sits at the top of that success pile. Heckerling put a refreshingly original twist on a classic story and made it her own. Charming, witty, inspirational, and heartwarming, Clueless has everything iconic films are made of.
