Our Favourite Iconic Teen Movies Based On The Classics

Em revisits the 2000s take on Twelfth Night that basically got her through high school English, while Laura makes the case for a beloved Taming of the Shrew adaptation she’s watched at least 30 times.

And frankly, Laura and Em would like to remind the critics that a movie doesn’t have to be a masterpiece to be an extremely good time.
