A classic in every conceivable way, 10 Things I Hate About You has remained a mainstay of teen movies. It is based on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, and features, for the first time in lead roles, Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles.

4/5 stars Comedy, Romance The thing about Someone Great is that it is not the best movie ever, and it doesn’t try to be either.

2.5 stars Drama, Romance, War I have to admit, I don’t think I would have watched this if it hadn’t been for a quote from the novel it’s based on. The quote is as follows, in case you were wondering, “They felt a strange happiness, an urgent need to reveal their hearts to each other

5 stars Comedy, Drama, History Some context: I haven’t read much Shakespeare and that includes Romeo and Juliet which is what this film is inspired by. Even so, it’s easy to get caught up in the stories that are running parallel to each other; both the play that Will is writing (which turns out to
