There is something about 90's movies that leaves a mark on the cinematic world. They become classics and are watched by multiple generations after they are released. When new "coming of age" movies are created, they are held to a certain standard due to the teen coming-of-age movies that were made in the 90's. In 1999, the film "10 Things I Hate About You" was released and left it's mark as one of the classics that came out of the 90's. Not only was the film itself a classic, it was filled with many memorable, relatable, and iconic quotes - and I have (tried) to narrow it down to the 12 best.
1. When Kat sarcastically summed up how a majority of girls feel about the male population.
“I guess, in this society, being male and an asshole makes you worthy of our time.”
2. When Patrick did not hold back the way he really felt.
“That’s a touching story. It really is.... Not my problem.”
4. When Patrick was awesome at compromising to be able to get what he wants.
“Well let’s think about this. We go to the movies, that’s, uh, 15 bucks. We get popcorn, that’s, uh, 53. And, uh, she’ll want Raisinets, right? So, uh, we’re looking at 75 bucks.”
5. When Kat used an old school version of one of the best modern terms.
“Do you even know my name, screw-boy?”
6. When Kat hit everyone with the realness of life
“You don’t always have to be who they want you to be, you know.”
7. When Michael was so adorably innocent.
“The last party I went to was at Chuck E Cheese. You want to talk about some fun? That’s a good time!”
8. When Patrick gave the pep-talk that everyone needs to hear.
“Don’t let anyone, ever, make you feel like you don’t deserve what you want.”
9. When Cameron was over Bianca bullsh**.
“Just because you’re beautiful, that doesn’t mean you can treat people like they don’t matter.”
10. When Kat expressed that the only opinions that matter are your own.
“I don’t like to do what people expect. Why should I live up to other people’s expectations instead of my own?”
11. When Kat was trying to be a protective older sister.
“Not all experiences are good, you can’t always trust the people you want to.”
12. And of course... Last but not least... The most iconic...
“But mostly, I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.”
