I remember having to watch this in high school for English class, having never heard of it before and was prepared for another stupid "supplementary learning material". This movie was so instantly charming and captivating, its always been one of my favorites especially because of how Stiles' performance just knocks it out of the park with the end scene. It will always be one of my favorite movies

Director Gil Junger allowed the actors to improvise at times. There is a scene in a science lab where Heath Ledger, as "bad boy" Patrick, suddenly starts playing with fire and trying to light a cigarette that was completely unscripted.
