Clueless

Clueless

A Millennial cinematic classic, Clueless not only popularized famous catchphrases like “As if!”, but also set new trends in pop culture, which linger to this day in fashion, music, and television. The film follows Cher (Alicia Silverstone), a rich, popular, and “clueless” teenager from Beverly Hills, who, with the help of her best friend, Dionne (Stacey Dash), engineers a successful matchmaking mission for two teachers, as well as a complete makeover for Tai (Brittany Murphy), the new girl in school. Thanks to its sweet humor, charismatic cast, and defining style, Clueless manages to be both a timeless coming-of-age story and an unabashedly ’90s time capsule.
