Clueless Soundtrack

Clueless was a great movie, and one of those great 90's movies that had a whole bunch of people who would go off to do many, many more things, plus one person in a big role who was at the time a big star and would soon fade away (Alicia Silverstone, please stop doing crappy TV pilots that don't get picked up and start doing mainstream movies that have nothing to do with Queen Latifah again). Other Clueless alums: Paul "Bemusement" Rudd, Donald "Brown Bear" Faison, Breckin "No One Knows Who I Am" Meyer, Jeremy "I'm Running Out Of Examples" Sisto, and, of course, Brittany Murphy. Other movies like this are Empire Records, Can't Hardly Wait, and Dazed and Confused (sort of, Ben Affleck is in it, so that's close).

It also had a great soundtrack. This is why I love the 90's. Clueless was a mainstream movie, and it had stuff like Radiohead and Lightning Seeds and Jill Sobule and Luscious Jackson on it...and VELOCITY GIRL. I LOVE Velocity Girl. If Clueless were made today, it would probably be a terrible movie, and I'm certain the soundtrack would be full of Taylor Swift. Like six Taylor Swift songs, and Kanye God damn West instead of Coolio. And All Time Low instead of the Lightning Seeds. And someone much less likable than Donald Faison instead of Donald Faison. Channing Tatum instead of Jeremy Sisto. Plus, no Wallace Shawn.
