1. 10 Things I Hate About You

Like most of the world agrees, watching young Heath Ledger playing the bad boy is something I am willing to do every time I see this movie pop up on T.V. A modern spin on Shakespeare’s classic play “The Taming Of The Shrew”, this 90’s rom coms stars a young popular high schooler, Bianca Stratford, lives under the strict rules of her father that she is not allowed to date until her older sister Kat chooses to.

Problem is, Kat doesn’t like ANYBODY, being an empowered independent woman and all. So when new student Cameron, who is smitten by Bianca, comes up with a plan to pay someone to take Kat out on a date, he chooses the toughest guy in school who doesn’t scare easily, Heath Ledger’s character Patrick.

2. Never Been Kissed

Drew Barrymore is hysterical in this 90’s rom coms, where she is a 25-year-old reporter who goes undercover as a high school student to get a good story on what goes on in the day of the life of a popular girl. Unfortunately for Barrymore’s character, Josie Geller, she was not exactly the popular type back when she really was a high school student. In fact, she was completely the least popular student there. Not having the confidence she most desperately wanted in life, this resulted in her never having her first kiss, ever.

Now she has a complete do-over, and this time she’s determined to be one of the cool kids, even if they don’t accept her just yet. On top of that, there is a hot teacher who befriends her that she starts to crush on, with the problem that he thinks she’s a students age!

3. She’s All That

Now, this 90’s rom coms really pulls on your heartstrings. Popular guy Zack, played by gorgeous Freddie Prinze Jr., just got dumped by his bitchy girlfriend, who thinks she’s too good for a high school boyfriend, right before prom. So what is the natural solution to finding a date? Having your friends bet you that you can take out the weirdest girl in school and turn her into a prom queen of course.

Zack starts to hang out with outcast, Laney, who enjoys getting lost in the artistic world and knows better than to trust a group of kids who have made fun of her whole life. But Zack trying to win her trust over so that he can transform her into the beautiful girl she is and make her prom queen worthy. But the motive starts to change when he realizes that Laney is not as strange as she first appears to be and that he actually might be falling for her.

4. You’ve Got Mail

While this 90’s rom coms movie is about a love story on two people who have been out of high school for a while, it has a fabulous unique storyline.
