I’m slowly working my way through Heath Ledger’s movies, and the last one I saw is 10 Things I Hate about You. I laughed through the whole thing. It’s fabulous. Here are ten things I liked about it.
- The story is (loosely) based on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. Not my favorite of his plays, but it’s fun to see a modern retelling.
- Heath. He’s adorable (and pretty; see #3) in this movie.
- This conversation.
Cameron: And here’s another problem. Bianca said that Kat likes pretty guys.
Patrick [Pulls away from the table to stand taller]: Are you telling me I’m not a pretty guy?
Michael: Very pretty. He’s a gorgeous guy. [Gives the thumbs up sign] You’re a gorgeous guy.
Patrick [Leans back against the table]
Cameron: Yeah. I just wasn’t sure. I didn’t know. - The great one-liners. Really, there are too many to list.
- This line.
Kat’s Dad: You’re eighteen—you don’t know what you want. And you won’t know what you want ’til you’re forty-five, and even if you get it, you’ll be too old to use it.
- This song.
- This conversation.
Patrick: We’re looking at seventy-five bucks.
Joey: This isn’t a negotiation. Take it or leave it, Trailer Park.
Patrick: Fifty bucks and we got a deal, Fabio. - This smile.
- This line.
Patrick [Shouts to be heard over the playing music]: I was watching you out there before. I’ve never seen you look [Still shouting, though the music stops] so sexy.
- It’s a fun and funny feel-good movie.

I love this movie. Love, love, love it! You’re right about the one-liners, and Heath is so damn cute in it.
Okay, now I’m going to have to go rent it

This is seriously one of my favorite movies of all time. I probably watch it every six month (which is like every day for normal people who watch movies). LOL. I’m so glad you saw it!
P.S. I bet it’s my weird computer, but I couldn’t hear the song. Is it the “Come on, Come on” song? I love that one!

I didn’t see the movie but the clip was really neat! Thanks.

This is definitely one of my fave movies. Does anyone but me remember when Heath hit the U.S. in a short-lived but much loved (at least by me) tv show called “Roar”? He was such a hottie.
But yeah, 10 Things is such a quotable movie, and really captures the fun, whacky stuff about high school.
