The high school film that is loosely based on Jane Austen’s novel "Emma" is "Clueless." "Clueless" is a 1995 American coming-of-age teen comedy film set in Beverly Hills, centered on a wealthy, popular high school girl named Cher Horowitz who, like Emma Woodhouse in Austen's novel, plays matchmaker for her friends and navigates her own romantic and personal growth. The film adapts the story and characters from "Emma" into a modern 1990s high school context, with Cher representing Emma, and other characters paralleling those in Austen's work. This film has become a modern classic and is recognized as one of the best teen films of all time, with a cult following and a continuing legacy including a TV series spin-off.
