+The Class of '95 - A look at the cast, then and now

+We're History - Stories from the cast and crew
+2 Theatrical Trailers
I saw this movie about a week after it opened in theatres. We were supposed to go see Species but backed out at the last minute. It was either Clueless, a loose adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma starring that chick from The Crush and an Aerosmith video, or Nine Months, where we could see the newly scandalous Hugh Grant try his hand at American comedy. The theatre was mostly men surprisingly. While the two people I went with did not like the movie, I loved it. Returning to school a month and a half later, the school lingo had changed. Only 11 years old, we were all "whatever" and "as if!" Ah, great times! Too bad today's kids don't get anything as witty and fresh as Clueless. They get Undiscovered. Most likely, they probably deserve it. Pity Alicia Silverstone didn't even pick up a Golden Globe nod and the script was overlooked at that year's Oscars. They favored another Jane Austen adaptation, Sense and Sensibility. Austen's works were invigorated with life thanks to these two films that year. Most authors would only be so lucky.
