10 Things I Hate About You. Shakespeare in the 90s, Heath Ledger and a tender Joseph Gordon-Levitt. What’s not to love? This classic movie is a sleepover staple and a feelgood 90s legend. If you’re planning on celebrating #BRWC10 in style, this is how to do it.

Shrewish Kat Stratford (this isn’t where the Shakespeare references end) is a razor sharp senior at Padua High, whose father has one rule: her younger sister (the popular, gorgeous, inevitably conceited Bianca) can not date until Kat does. Kat, who has sworn off high school boys, makes this a bit of a problem.

Enter Gordon-Levitt. He convinced mysterious burnout Ledger to court Katherine in the hopes of getting his chance with her younger sister. What follows is a movie with all the classic staples – teen angst, artsy kids clashing with jocks and burnouts, and a high school dance to boot. But this movie goes above and beyond and doesn’t just give us what we want, but what we need. Yes we do need Heath Ledger running along the bleachers serenading the girls’ football team, yes we do need Allison Janney writing erotica in between counselling sessions. This feel good, tense and touchingly tender romantic comedy captures the essence of youthful recklessness and the burning hope of first love. Get some popcorn, get your PJs on and settle in.
