Clueless (1995)
9/10
Finally saw it after 20+ years - wow was this good.

The movie - I thought this would just be a dumb chick flick and that's why I never saw it with my buds in high school when it came out, even though I was in love with Alicia like everyone else. But it's not that at all, just saw it a few weeks ago and it's just this fun and loveable movie that is light hearted and really funny. There is no big villain to overcome and the lead character is strange in a good way in that she is the ditzy rich popular girl but she is not mean and is actually really caring and helpful towards others. The cast is great and a lot of the lines are really funny. I lol'd HARD more than once. And I think the amorphous thing about the movie that is really key is just that I felt happy and in a great mood while watching and afterward. I've since watched it more than once and each time it just puts me in a great mood!

Alicia - Ok, so I was 14 or 15 when she was in The Crush and for high school/junior high kids I think it was fairly well known because MTV made a big deal out of it at the time. Well I watched The Crush and thought she was really cute, then the Aerosmith videos came out and thought she was crazy sexy and cute at the same time. So my experience of Alicia until a few weeks ago watching this was crazy girl in the Crush and sexy silent girl in Aerosmith videos. While watching Clueless I was really shocked at how funny she can be and just how great at acting she is. Like super impressed. It changed my view of her as kind of just this young sex icon to a real deal actress. Now, having said that, I've also got to say that there were times and scenes in Clueless where it's literally just jaw dropping how gorgeous she is. Her eyes, lips, smile, hair - wow, one of the most beautiful combos of everything every to exist I think. And she doesn't have this stereotypical killer bod with giant chest or anything - she's just drop dead GORGEOUS. So that didn't hurt, but like I said, even if she wasn't 10/10 face she's just damn fun to watch and great at acting!

Overall spectacular movie!
