Clueless is one of the best (and most classic) movies of all time, and if you disagree with that sentence you can stop reading this article now.
Clueless is one of those movies that you own on DVD, you have on your Netflix watch list at all times and still, any time it's on TV, you can't resist sitting down and re-watching all the amazing Cher and Dionne moments. The 1995 movie is almost 20 years old ,and we enjoy any chance we get to talk about Cher, Dionne, Ty and of course, our love for Paul Rudd in the 90s. Next time you watch the movie you can look out for clear signs that Christian is gay, you can look for spelling mistakes on Cher's report card, and you can even look for the real Mr. Hall.
Basically, we are giving you the chance to watch the movie over again for no reason, because who needs a reason to watch Clueless? Plus we love any opportunity to watch Brittany Murphy movies. She is, after all, the best. So in honor of the film's almost 20-year reunion, here are 15 fun facts about our favorite girls night in movie, Clueless:

We all know her name is Cher Horowitz, but the name on Cher's report card in the movie is Cher Hamilton. Although some think it's a mistake, others think that it’s a nod at Heckerling's Fast Times because the main females name in that movie is Stacy Hamilton.
