For those of you that don't know, Clueless is based on the Jane Austen tale Emma. While the book is fairly old and dated, it's still a pretty good read, and surprised me. I had to read it as a part of my Novel & Film class in high school and figured it'd be a chick flick on paper. After reading it, I couldn't wait to see the movie Emma. That film version of the book was a serious letdown.
Not only was Clueless a better film, but it was closer to the book. I'm not afraid to admit that I watch it whenever it's on, and no, it's not because Alicia Silverstone is an under-rated hottie.
I still have to go with the book though. While the movie was good, it had to modernize most of the material, and to me, it can't be held in the same regard.
