Travis: Okay, like, the way I feel about the Rolling Stones is the way my kids are gonna feel about Nine Inch Nails, so I really shouldn’t torment my mom anymore, huh?ĭid you know Seth Green was almost cast as Travis, the stoner with a heart of gold? According to Vanity Fair’s oral history of the film, it came down to Green and Breckin Meyer-who also happened to be best friends-and it’s easy to imagine an alternate reality in which the former delivered these iconic lines. Also, treat yourself to the YouTube rabbit hole that is Cher and Dionne Warwick’s infomercials. Nothing screams instant friendship like such glorious nomenclature. It’s clear who would fare better in 2020.Ĭher: Dionne and I were both named after great singers of the past who now do infomercials. Josh (Paul Rudd) is for symbolic activism that props up celebrity worship. Getting Marky Mark to take time from his busy pants-dropping schedule to plant trees.Ĭher knows Mark Wahlberg is trash.
We might get Marky Mark to plant a celebrity tree. Josh: Actually, I’m going to a Tree People meeting. Enjoy the 25 best quotes from Clueless, one for every year we’ve been blessed with this ‘90s classic. No character is too small to have a good line, even the DMV instructor Cher terrorizes in her “loqued-out” Jeep. The film feels like a precursor to sitcoms like 30 Rock, packing in a laugh a minute. Heckerling’s razor-sharp dialogue is instrumental in making Clueless work, though. Needless to say, it’s a delight to see Silverstone return to the screen in The Baby-Sitters Club, some quarter of a century after she wowed us as Cher. Oftentimes the main character in teen comedies is the dullest member of a colorful cast, playing the straight man while others steal the scene. A throwaway line instantly becomes iconic thanks to her Valley Girl drawl.
The entire cast is talented-and damn if Paul Rudd looks like he hasn’t aged a day since-but Silverstone’s comedic timing is particularly stellar. Amy Heckerling’s film is one of the most quotable of the ‘90s and ushered in the decade-long trend of teen films based on classic works of literature, from She’s All That ( Pygmalion) to She’s the Man ( Twelfth Night).Ĭlueless remains relevant beyond its cultural influence it’s a brilliant comedy, pure and simple. Besides being a terrible driver, she’s also an ambitious student, caring friend, expert on popularity, and an avatar for Jane Austen’s Emma Woodhouse.
As of July 19, Clueless is old enough to rent a car-not that its protagonist, Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone), ever should.
