Directed by Andy Tennant and written by C. Jay Cox, the romantic comedy-drama became one of the early-2000s staples of the genre and remains a frequent rewatch thanks to its big-city-meets-small-town setup and star chemistry.

7. ‘Alice’ (2019)

Keke Palmer stars as Alice, an enslaved woman on a remote Georgia plantation who escapes into the woods and discovers she’s actually living in the 1970s; disoriented but determined, she finds help from a truck driver named Frank, played by Common. Jonny Lee Miller portrays Paul, the plantation owner whose control over Alice’s world begins to unravel as she learns the truth about her circumstances and the broader society beyond the property’s borders.

Written and directed by Krystin Ver Linden, the film blends psychological thriller elements with historical drama, drawing inspiration from documented cases of people who were illegally kept in bondage in the American South long after slavery had been abolished. The production centers on Alice’s journey toward self-determination, using Frank’s guidance and the era’s social movements as catalysts for her plan to return and confront the abuse she endured.

6. ’10 Things I Hate About You’ (1999)

In this high-school reimagining of Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew,’ new student Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) tries to date Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) by arranging for the school rebel Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) to woo her sharp-tongued sister Kat (Julia Stiles). Larry Miller, Andrew Keegan, and David Krumholtz round out the ensemble.

The teen classic was directed by Gil Junger from a screenplay by Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith, with music by Richard Gibbs and cinematography by Mark Irwin, becoming a late-’90s touchstone that helped launch several of its stars.

Written and directed by Peter Hastings and produced by DreamWorks Animation, the film’s home-release and streaming rollout included a U.S. pay-1 window that brought it to Netflix after its initial Peacock stint, in line with Universal’s animation licencing strategy.
