On March 31st, 1999 perhaps one of the most quintessential 90's movies came out: 10 Things I Hate About You. While there are many things to love about the movie, one thing sticks out in particular from the movie. When I say one thing, what I really mean is one person, Heath Ledger. Here is a list of 10 reasons Heath Ledger is simply perfect in this 90's classic.
1. Kicking it off with the obvious one: his smile
Throughout the entire movie, you can expect to have mini heart attacks every time he does one of his signature Heath smiles.
2. He's essentially a mind reader
At several points in the movie, you'll find Heath Ledger's character saying exactly what you're thinking.
3. He can sing (and it's perfect)
and added bonus he can dance.
Just when you honestly thought he was perfect in this movie, he goes and sings, and happens to have an amazing voice
4. His Australian Accent
If you are not obsessed with Australian accents before seeing this movie, you should definitely plan to be after you see it.
5. He's hilarious
Throughout the movie, Heath's character delivers different one liners that will make you laugh hysterically.
6. His hair
Heath manages to not only pull off long hair, but also the man bun.
7. He gives the best advice.
He teaches us that we shouldn't let anyone else make us feel inadequate or not deserving. Be confident in yourself.
8. He's ingenious.
Whether it's using a bunsen burner to light a cigarette or buying someone a guitar as a form of apology, Heath always manages to be creative.
9. He catches you when you fall
Both physically and metaphorically.
10. He goes on the best dates
Arguably one of the best scenes in the entire movie, Heath's character goes on a date where they throw water balloons filled with paint.
