A few years ago Matt became very aware of how much Clueless was a part of my very soul when he walked in the house after work and found me, my best friend and one of his gay co-workers camped out on our couch reciting the lines along with the movie (without subtitles).
He was terrified.
When Clueless came out in theatres, I was eleven years old and my sister and I left the movie complex and went straight to the mall to purchase several pair of color coordinated knee highs immediately after. Despite not living anywhere near Beverly Hills, our local mall had an entire section called "Off Rodeo Drive" where we would go, hang out and eat italian ice and drink cappuccinos. We were so totally existential.
Truthfully though, we learned a lot from this simple classic film:
- I knew the definitions and proper usage of words such as: faux, polyester, and ballistic.
- I understood that it does not say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty.
- Grades are negotiable.
- The occasional makeover is necessary.
- Cindy Crawford is 5'10.
- Everywhere in L.A. takes twenty minutes.
I'm also still sad that Brittany Murphy died.
Here are some of my favourite lines . . . .
Amber: Was I the only one listening? I thought it reeked.
Cher: I believe that was your designer imposter perfume.
Mel: So, what did you do in school today?
Cher: Well, I broke in my purple clogs.
Mel: What the hell is that?
Cher: A dress.
Mel: Says who?
Cher: Calvin Klein.
Cher: Searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.
What's your favourite line from Clueless?

Omg, I loved this movie and watched it religiously back in the day. Thanks for making me relive the memories, truly awesome.
Paul Rudd was definitely hot, and still is.
Me too :) Normal pens just don't feel right!
Oh my gosh, this is still a great movie, in some ways totally timeless! I have watched it many times over the years and my husband still quotes this line to all of my daughters boyfriends, and anyone elso who will listen:
"I have a 45 and a shovel, I doubt anyone will miss you!"
Stopping by from Mama Kat's, have a great day!
I just love the movie...Its awesome!
Thanks for sharing :)

EASY!!!
Travis: "I would like to say this. Tardiness is not something you can do on your own. Many, many people contributed to my tardiness. I would like to thank my parents for never giving me a ride to school, the LA city bus driver who took a chance on an unknown kid and last but not least, the wonderful crew from McDonalds who spend hours making those egg McMuffins without which I'd never be tardy. "
I freaking live and breath that movie..STILL. ^_^
"I think I remember Shakespeare accurately"
"Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately. And he didn't say that. That Polonius guy did."
He is definitely hotter with facial scruff.
would you believe that I am not sure I have seen it! I was 20 in 1995...where was I?? lol! might have to rent it now!!:)
If I'm 40 and I love this movie, am I wrong? It really is great...
U 2! My GF and I so got the knee highs!!!
best line from her "Until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there's no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value."
Love it! Now I totally wanna go watch it again! Oh, the things that influenced our lives!
This post totally made my day!
I hope to see you, but not sporadically! Haha ;)
SHUT UP, loved this movie!! Paul Rudd was and is still a total Baldwin :)

I'm totally going home and watching this tonight! I had the plaid skirt and the pen with the feathers on the end. Clueless is kind of the "cult flick" of our time.
And I've wanted to marry Paul Rudd ever since this movie came out.
My all-time favorite line from this movie:
-my plastic surgeon doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.
-Well, there goes your social life.
lol- i'm agreeing with everyone else, i'm going to have to watch this movie- like, now!
Clueless is a classic. It's the Sixteen Candles or Pretty in Pink of the 90's. Just love it.
So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair - ew - and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so.
oh my gosh I Love this movie!!! It has been so long since I've gotten to see it...going to add it to my netflix list right now.
Mel: Do you know what time it is?
Cher: A watch doesn't really go with this outfit, daddy.
Josh: You want to practice parking?
Cher: What's the point? Everywhere you go has valet.
and my ALL time favorite that we use to always say (and sometimes still do)
Dionne: Hello? There was a stop sign.
Cher: I totally paused.
