    I was looking up a Clueless quote the other day, and noted that its release date was 19 July 1995, which makes it 20 years old today. Where the hell has the time gone? Though I wasn't a teenage girl in 90s Beverly Hills, the story - an adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma - is more universal than the film's particular time, setting or cast. It's also one of the most quotable movies ever: I could fill this post with dozens, but choose to limit myself to a few:
    Josh: Hey, James Bond, in America we drive on the right side of the road.
    Cher: I am. You try driving in platforms.

    Cher: Christian had a thing for Tony Curtis so he brought over "Some Like it Hot" and "Sporadicus".

    (In PT Class)
    Amber: Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.
    Dionne: Well, there goes your social life.

    What happened to Alicia Silverstone? After two poorly-rated movies in 1997 (Excess Baggage, Batman & Robin), she was in the interesting Blast From The Past (with Brendan Fraser), then her career kind-of descended in to mostly TV movies and more recently a family. She's very in to Vegan causes, PETA etc - and a couple of years ago popped up in Suburgatory opposite her Clueless co-star Jeremy Sisto, playing a thinly-disguised version of herself. :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
