Before there was Regencycore, there was Jane Austen—and her timeless wit is getting the glow-up it deserves in this perfectly paired double feature! Join us for a night of romance, satire, and social scheming as we present Emma (1996) and Clueless (1995)—two iconic takes on the same classic tale.

First up: Gwyneth Paltrow brings Austen’s beloved heroine to life in a lush, delightfully proper adaptation of Emma, full of charm, matchmaking mishaps, and gorgeous 19th-century fashion. Then stick around as we head to 1990s Beverly Hills, where Alicia Silverstone’s Cher Horowitz channels Emma Woodhouse with Valley Girl flair in Clueless, the teen comedy that made as-if a way of life.

Whether you're team empire waist or team plaid mini skirt, this double feature proves that a good story (and a little meddling) never goes out of style.

Emma

1996 | PG | 2 hrs

Directed by: Douglas McGrath
Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeremy Northam, Toni Collette, Ewan McGregor

In this adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, pretty socialite Emma Woodhouse entertains herself by playing matchmaker for those around her. Her latest "project" is Harriet Smith, an unpretentious debutant, while Emma herself receives the attentions of the dashing Frank Churchill. However, Emma's attempts at matchmaking cause more problems than solutions and may ultimately jeopardize her own chance at love and happiness.

Clueless

1995 | PG13 | 1 hr 37 mins

Directed by: Amy Heckerling
Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy

In a modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel Emma, shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was, and she learns her lesson.
