Clueless
12A
Why watch?
“Clueless is one of the more timeless teen comedies of its era for a range of reasons, not least the charming and funny performances by its incredible cast, including Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd and the brilliant Brittany Murphy who sadly passed away in 2009 before really even getting started as a performer. However, setting aside the practical elements (cast, soundtrack, script, etc.), Clueless has my heart because it is a fundamentally good-hearted film. It prods and makes fun of its characters, but always with kindness because it believes they are fundamentally kind characters. It’s a gentle and loving world which, 30 years on, continues to make it an incredibly fun place to spend a couple of hours.”

Bend It Like Beckham
For the uninitiated, Cher Horowitz and her friend Dionne are two of the most popular students in their elite Beverly Hills high school. Amidst a busy social calendar and occasional debate prep, Cher loves to use her keen eye for the human condition to engage in some casual matchmaking. Inspired by her successes Cher takes under her wing Tai, a transfer student whose sense of style is a little more grunge than Gucci.
But, when her status suffers as she tries to find an advantageous match for Tai, Cher soon realises that when it comes to matters of real romance, she might just be totally clueless.
