Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You
On Tuesday January 5th, Walt Disney Studios will release 10 Things I Hate About You 10th Anniversary 2-Disc DVD. Academy Award winner Heath Ledger (Best Supporting Actor, 2008, Dark Knight) makes his American screen debut opposite Julia Stiles (the Bourne trilogy) with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days of Summer) and Gabrielle Union (Cadillac Records). An inspired update of William Shakespeare’s classic comedy The Taming of the Shrew, the film’s entertaining tale of rocky romance between a pair of unconventional teens is an enduring favorite as fresh and funny today as it was a decade ago.

More About 10 Things I Hate About You
A high-spirited, high school contest of wit and will marks a milestone when 10 Things I Hate About You 10th Anniversary Special Edition comes to Blu-ray™ Hi-Def and DVD on January 5, 2010 from Touchstone Pictures Home Entertainment. An inspired update of William Shakespeare’s classic comedy “The Taming of the Shrew,” the film’s entertaining tale of rocky romance between a pair of unconventional teens is an enduring favorite as fresh and funny today as it was a decade ago. Both the Two-Disc Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD editions of 10 Things I Hate About You 10th Anniversary Special Edition includes never-before-seen screen test footage of Heath Ledger, cast interviews, and more. Academy Award® winner Heath Ledger (Best Supporting Actor, 2008, Dark Knight) makes his American screen debut opposite Julia Stiles (the Bourne trilogy) as the independent, smart-mouthed girl of his dreams, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days of Summer), Larisa Oleynik (Broken Windows), David Krumholtz (the Harold and Kumar movies), Gabrielle Union (Cadillac Records) and Larry Miller (Get Smart) completing the talented company of actors.
Padua High sophomore Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) has two invitations to the prom and one big problem: her father (Larry Miller) won’t let her go unless her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) agrees to attend as well. It looks like both girls are staying home, since independent and unconventional Kat has no interest in going—until she meets the school’s mysterious new bad boy Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger). What she doesn’t know is that her sister’s suitors (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Andrew Keegan) have ponied up $300 to convince Patrick to woo her. Just as Patrick realizes he has unexpectedly fallen for his “assignment,” Kat finds out about the scheme and Patrick has to launch an all out campaign to win her back. Inspired by Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew,” 10 Things I Hate About You takes a witty and contemporary look at the eternal battle between the sexes, high-school style.

I love a movie no one else will even know; Phar Lap; I even tracked it down and bought it! I have seen it a million times or so and I still cry at the end. Anything with Johnny Depp does it for me, my fave is Captain Jack Sparrow series; I even had to get the Tonner doll of him!
Then, a movie I need to purchase, Laws of Attraction with Pierce Brosnan and Juliann Moore>. I have seen it so many times I can speek the parts, I love it!
Anything with Cary Grant makes me soooooooooo happy…

My favorite on your list from when I was a child is
“Drop Dead Fred” it was so funny and a cute look into imaginary friends.
“Snatch” is an amazingly made great movie with an all star cast.Brad Pitt is great in this movie such a beleivable accent.
“Tim Burton’s A Corpse Bride” is so intriguing made in claymation. Directed by Tim Burton enough said. Powerhouse voices of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson make this movie one of my favorites.
“Notting Hill” with lead actor and actress Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Such a great love story. I really rooted for Hugh rant in this film.
“Bridget Jones Diary: Edge of Reason” Renee Zellwegger fots this role perfectly. She is suck a likable character and so funny.
“Billy Elliott” a favorite of mine. He is such a darling character that the audience just falls in love with.
“The Full Monty”
“Hot Fuzz”
“Love Actually”
“Penelope”
“Sense and Sensibility”
“Shaun of the Dead”

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail – We have this and I didn’t even know about these guys until my 20 year old daughter introduced me to them. It’s so funny we had to see Spamalot! I love John Cleese too!
2.A Christmas Carol – I love it because it’s a classic and Scrooge is awful!
3.Dr. Strangelove – Peter Sellers is a brilliant actor and this is a great black comedy!
4.Victor/Victoria – Julie Andrews is so good playing a man.
5.Return of the Pink Panther – Another great Peter Sellers movie! I love this guy as a detective. Funny!
6.A Shot in the Dark – Peter Sellers again in his second Pink Panther film! He’s great.
We received The Corpse Bride for Christmas and it was classic Tim Burton…good, unique, on the creepy side. I\’m still wondering, however, why it was a CHRISTMAS GIFT. I was thinking it might be better to offer at, say, the end of October.
Monty Python – The Holy Grail is a total man movie, and every man/teen in our house loves it. In fact, they laugh just thinking about it.
Shakespeare in Love was a movie I really wanted to see when it came out years ago, and I did see it, but I remember being distinctly disappointed. It was a little too dry for my tastes.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is right up my alley. I loved it as a child ,and I still do.
Pride and Prejudice (1980) is another that appeals to my feminine senses. I enjoyed the book, and appreciate that the movie retained a storyline so close to it. Five stars!
The Pink Panter ROCKS. I love the originals, and vividly remember them as a child too. I didn\’t think the newer version with Steve Martin (though I\’m not opposed to S.M.) was even in the running.
