10 Things I Hate About You

Directed by Gil Junger, 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) is a modern high school adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.

Starring Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the film quickly became a cult favorite. With its witty script, heartfelt performances, and a soundtrack full of 90s hits, it remains one of the most beloved teen comedies of its era.

Celebrated as a “guilty pleasure” done right, the film still tops the class in the teen rom-com genre.
