Need I say more? Heath Ledger as Patrick Verona? Iconic. He's brooding, mysterious, and totally swoon-worthy.
Just try to resist that smile. Seriously, try.
2. Julia Stiles as the Ultimate Grrl Power Icon
Julia Stiles plays Kat Stratford. She’s smart, independent, and doesn't take any BS.

4. Shakespeare with a Modern Twist
It's based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. But don't worry, you don't need a literature degree to understand it.
They take a classic story and make it totally relevant. They also make it hilarious and fun!
5. The Epic Paintball Scene
Need I say more? A paint ball scene is amazing enough. The fact that the scene features the wonderful actors, make it more amazing.
This is a high school classic. The only problem is that you will be wishing you were there.

From Letters to Cleo to The Cardigans, the music is incredible. You'll be singing along the whole time.
Prepare to add a bunch of songs to your Spotify playlist. Seriously, every song is a banger.
7. The Hilarious One-Liners
"I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair." Who could forget Kat's poem?
The dialogue is witty and quotable. You'll be using these lines for years to come.
8. The Supporting Characters are Gold
From Bianca's ditzy charm to Cameron's awkwardness, the side characters are amazing.
They add so much humor and heart to the story. Their moments are so much fun!
9. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Early Days
Before he was a big star, Joseph Gordon-Levitt played the sweet and clueless Cameron.
It's fun to see him in such a different role. His acting is top tier.
