One of the Most Quotable ‘90s Comedies Returns to Netflix

Enduring movies often become remembered through memorable quotes that resonate across generations. For example, from “Star Wars,” “May the Force be with you,” to “Jaws”‘ “You’re gonna need a bigger boat,” and “Mean Girls”‘ “On Wednesdays we wear pink,” these timeless phrases stay with viewers long after they leave the cinema, sometimes even becoming part of everyday language. In the ’90s, a film became a pop culture staple in large part due to its abundance of witty and quotable lines, and it’s now available for streaming on Netflix.

In August 1, 2025, Amy Heckerling’s 1995 teen comedy film “Clueless,” a modern take on Jane Austen’s Emma, became available for streaming on Netflix. The movie features Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, a stylish and affluent high school student in Beverly Hills who attempts to perform acts of kindness by playing Cupid with her teachers and giving the uncoordinated newcomer Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover. However, things take an unexpected turn when Tai gains popularity at the expense of Cher, leading Cher to question her flawed intentions, realize her former stepbrother’s (Paul Rudd) criticisms were valid, and even develop feelings for him. The film also stars Stacey Dash, Donald Faison, Elisa Donovan, Breckin Meyer, and Dan Hedaya.

Why You Should Watch Clueless

One classic movie of the ’90s that still resonates today is “Clueless,” recognized as one of the finest films depicting teenage life. Its timeless appeal is attributed in part to its abundance of memorable lines. From Cher’s famous expressions such as “As if!” and “I am totally buggin’” to Tai’s side-splitting comment, “Why am I even listening to you at all? You’re a virgin who can’t drive,” the sharp dialogue in “Clueless,” combined with Silverstone’s comedic delivery, struck a chord and left an indelible mark on pop culture.

Beyond its iconic one-liners, “Clueless” stands out as a brilliant adaptation of a classic novel, offering a riotously funny take on high school life that remains relevant today and delves into enduring themes such as female empowerment and camaraderie. It’s worth noting that the fashion in “Clueless” is equally unforgettable, having played a significant role in popularizing the preppy minimalism style with its plaid skirt ensembles and knee-high socks. This movie has since earned cult status and paved the way for other successful female-led teen movies like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Mean Girls.” On Rotten Tomatoes, it’s known as “Certified Fresh” with a 82% critics’ score and an audience rating of 76%.
