Why We're Still Obsessed with "10 Things I Hate About You"
This movie came out in 1999. Yep, it's older than some of you reading this! But trust me, it still holds up.
It's a Modern Take on Shakespeare (Sort Of)
Did you know it's based on "The Taming of the Shrew?" Shakespeare, but with way more cool cars and witty banter.
Don't worry if you never read the play! The movie is super easy to follow and enjoy.
The Cast is Pure 90s Gold
We're talking a young and charming Heath Ledger. Need I say more?
Plus, Julia Stiles as the super-smart and independent Kat Stratford. She's a total icon.
And don't forget about Joseph Gordon-Levitt! So much talent in one movie!
The Plot is Totally Relatable (Even Now)
Boy wants to date girl, but her overprotective dad says no. Classic teen movie stuff, right?
Except, there's a catch! The younger sister can't date until the older, "un-dateable" sister does.
Cue the scheme to pay someone to woo Kat. Drama ensues!
The Humor is Actually Funny
This isn't just cheesy teen movie humor. The dialogue is sharp and clever.
Kat's sarcastic remarks are legendary. You'll be quoting them for days!

But that's what makes it so good! You actually root for them to get together.
That poem scene? Forget about it. Gets me every time!
The Soundtrack is a 90s Time Capsule
Think Letters to Cleo, Save Ferris, and other awesome 90s bands. The music perfectly captures the movie's vibe.
