The whip-smart, late-20th-century retelling of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew is one of the most epochal teen rom-coms. Here, we meet the Stratford sisters who couldn't be more different: Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) is a quintessentially perky popular girl while Kate (Julia Stiles) is an antisocial senior who marches to her own beat. With their overprotective father forbidding Bianca from dating until Kate does, heart-eyed new student Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) pays Padua High's Australian bad boy (Heath Ledger, a born rom-com lead) to win Kate's heart so he can date Bianca.
