Clueless was a film directed by Amy Heckerling in 1995. Loosely based on the novel Emma by Jane Austen, the film tells the story of Cher Horowitz, a valley girl who, although happy in her somewhat self-centered world of shopping & fashion, longs to prove herself as an intellectual & do-gooder. She, along with her friend Dionne decide to give a personality make-over to a tragically unhip new girl, Tai. Things backfire, though, when Tais popularity begins to surpass Chers & she has to question what is most important in the life of a wealthy, gorgeous teenage girl. The film was co-written by comedienne Julie Brown & co-starred actors Donald Faison, Paul Rudd & Wallace Shawn. The movie was turned into a TV show in the late 1990s. Posters Of Clueless

Alicia Silverstone won everyone over with her portrayal of a Beverly Hills teen, Cher, whose penchant for helping others with their relationships & self-esteem is a cover for her own loneliness. Director Amy Heckerling made a smart, funny variation on Jane Austens novel Emma, sweetly romantic & gently satirical of 90210 social manners. The cast is unbeatable: Dan Hedaya as Chers rock-solid dad, Wallace Shawn as a geeky teacher, Paul Rudd as the boy who has always been Chers surrogate brother, & the true holder of her most secret wishes. , Tom Keogh

Amy Heckerling is an American film director, one of the few women directors to have produced multiple box-office hits. Born in The Bronx, she studied film at New York University & received her masters degree from the American Film Institute. Heckerlings first film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, about Los Angeles teenagers, was praised for the strong female characters played by Phoebe Cates, Jennifer Jason Leigh & others. Heckerlings next film was a parody of gangster films, Johnny Dangerously, starring Michael Keaton, Marilu Henner & Joe Piscopo, with fast talking characters familiar from 1930s screwball comedy. She directed the second of the National Lampoon vacation films, National Lampoons European Vacation with Chevy Chase & Beverly DAngelo. She again had a massive hit with Look Whos Talking, which starred John Travolta & Kirstie Alley raising a baby voiced by Bruce Willis. It was corny & many critics panned it, but it pleased audiences enough to warrant a sequel, Look Whos Talking Too, which Heckerling also directed. Posters Of A Night At The Roxbury
