is clueless a shakespeare remake? i've never heard that one before.
Clueless is the most witty and spot-on adaptation of the three different film adaptations of Jane Austen's Emma, all of which came out within a year of one another after Emma Thompson's Sense & Sensibility made Austen films all the rage. Clueless is also the film that made Alicia Silverstone a star (well, for a little while). It was written by Amy Heckerling, the director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and it's easily the best of the 3 attempts at capturing the spirit and the wit and fun of Emma.
(Don't get me started on the Austen-to-film discussion, haha.)
