 | 10 Things I Hate About You
Buy used from: $3.77 Fantastic adaptation of "The Taming of the Shrew." Heath Ledger's breakout performance matched with a biting Julia Stiles= greatness.
|
 | She's the Man (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.99 I really thought I would hate this movie, but this is a really cute adaptation of "Twelfth Night." Amanda Bynes is honestly quite the little comedienne and is a refreshing change from the plethora of overly styled teen actresses flooding the market.

 | This Must Be Love by Tui T. Sutherland
Buy used from: $0.01 Really sweet adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
|
 | Confessions of a Triple Shot Betty by Jody Gehrman
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.97 Just by looking at the cover, I had no idea that it was an adaptation of "Much Ado about Nothing." What an awesome surprise! Very well done modernization.
|
 | Triple Shot Bettys in Love by Jody Gehrman
Buy new: $11.55 / Used from: $8.45 Haven't actually read this one yet, but I loved the prequel. This one is an adaptation of "Cyrano de Bergerac."
|
 | Clueless (Special Whatever! Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.79 LOVE this movie. Great, subtle adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma." Cher is by far Alicia Silverstone's best role, and Paul Rudd is fantastic as Josh, Cher's Mr. Knightley.
|
 | She's All That
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $3.61 Teen take on "Pygmalion." At times it was very unbelievable, but Freddie Prinze, Jr. is so charming, it's worth it.
|
 | William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.43 I show this version every time I teach R+J because it is perfect for this adrenaline-fueled generation. Claire Danes is no Olivia Hussey, but Harold Perrineau as Mercutio is the reason everyone should watch this movie.

Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.97 Greek Myths retold in teen speak.

 | The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1) by Rick Riordan
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.19 Book One in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This series is AWESOME! If you have a kid that is interested in Greek myths, this is the go-to series. It reads like an Americanized Harry Potter, but works in the myths so well. I have been more and more impressed by this series each time I read them!

 | O (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.00 Modern adaptation of "Othello" in a private prep school. This is Julia Stiles' second turn as a Shakespearean heroine, this time as Desi, i.e. Desdemona. Mekhi Phifer is execellent as Odin (Othello), while Josh Hartnett is the weak spot as Hugo (Iago).
|
 | Whatever It Takes
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.77 Cute version of "Cyrano de Bergerac" that features a young James Franco in the Christian role.
