What makes the movie work 20 years later?

* Julia Stiles' Kat and how she asserts her "right to be a bitch in a world that was prepared to demonize her no matter what."

* the movie treats Kat as being correct

One of my favorite movies ever, and I still love quoting it ❤️

I remember seeing this in the cinema. I love it.

Please bring back the teen Shakespeare genre, it created so many classics.

You're right.

There was also this sweet piece in the NYT that's an oral history from the cast/crew:

choice quote from Gabrielle Union "Heath had the ability to look at you, and [make] you feel like Princess Diana. In a very crowded Hollywood landscape, he could make you feel special and seen. That’s a pretty special gift, and I don’t think it’s talked about enough."

I still think this movie is excellent even after hundreds of viewings lol. Kat supplies the majority of my favorite quotes but I especially love when they’re fighting and Bianca asks her if she came from Planet Loser and then Kat is like “as opposed to Planet Look At Me, Look At Me.” It’s not a brilliant come back but it’s all in the delivery lol.

So many great movies came out in 1999, truly one of the best years for movies ever
