26 Years After It Became a Classic, Netflix Is Streaming One of the Best Movies of the ’90s—Starring Heath Ledger

Netflix has plenty of beloved, classic movies available for viewers. If you’re looking for a timeless film, you’ll find titles like *Fast Times at Ridgemont High*, *Ferris Bueller’s Day Off*, *Groundhog Day*, *The Karate Kid*, *Dazed and Confused*, and many others. Recently, another popular movie from the 1990s was added to Netflix, offering a fun trip down memory lane.

Fans of classic teen comedies can now enjoy *10 Things I Hate About You* on Prime Video. This beloved 1999 film, which helped make stars out of Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is a charming story about an unlikely romance. Set in the ‘90s, the movie follows Kate, a strong-willed and independent girl, and Patrick, a new student who’s paid to win her over – all part of a plan to help her sister date who she wants!

Why You Should Watch 10 Things I Hate About You

It’s no surprise that *10 Things I Hate About You* remains a beloved classic. This movie brilliantly updates Shakespeare’s *The Taming of the Shrew*, setting the story in a relatable 1990s high school. It works as both a funny and heartwarming romantic comedy, and a fantastic teen movie. The film’s enduring popularity comes from its well-developed characters, charming actors, smart writing, memorable lines, and sweet romance. Plus, the soundtrack perfectly complements the movie’s themes and characters.

With its enduring appeal, *10 Things I Hate About You* is still considered one of the best teen romantic comedies ever made. A box office success, it earned over $53 million globally on a $30 million budget and received positive reviews from both critics (71% on Rotten Tomatoes) and audiences (69% on Rotten Tomatoes). The film’s popularity led to a TV series reboot that aired on ABC Family in 2010 and is now available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
