10 Things I Hate About You -

Patrick is paid (by Joey, Bianca’s suitor) to date Kat, but the film is wise enough to show us that he genuinely falls for her long before the money becomes irrelevant. Their first kiss isn't in a rainstorm or a montage; it's messy, awkward, and real—happening after a paintball fight in a muddy field. They challenge each other intellectually. When Patrick reads a French sonnet aloud in class just to impress her, or when Kat throws a soccer ball at his face, you feel the intellectual and physical tension. They hate each other because they respect each other too much to pretend otherwise.
