This is the movie that made me fall in love with Heath Ledger. He was such a natural and it's so sad that he's no longer with us.
What do you mean gave him the Australian accent? He is Australian 😂
Sounds like a Save The Last Dance reaction is coming 👀☺️
Julia Stiles acting was so great in this. That is one of the main things I really like about this movie.
19:53 I find it weird that they think this because I've got black underwear because blood won't ruin them
That, "Oh baby, Oh BaBY," lol
"Should you be drinking alcohol when you don't have a liver?" Lmao gets me everytime
35:35 Um. No. He didn't kiss her because it isn't right to kiss anyone when they're drunk and you're sober. That's one of the best things about this movie: it came out over 30 years ago, and it does consent better than a lot of films do now. Yeah, Kat felt rejected, but Patrick did the right thing.
I say "That must be Nigel with the Brie" every time someone comes to my house
also Michael "please girls wear your seatbelt" tell me you're a dad without telling me 😂😂😂
