5. Clueless
In the opening moments of Clueless, Alicia Silverstone nails the personification of her character, Cher, in a brief presentation to her class. In discussing a recent story about Haitian refugees, Cher demonstrates a naïveté that perfectly sets the tone for the film to come. One of the funniest details in the presentation is Cher’s pronunciation of the word Haitians, which she consistently pronounces, “hay-tee-ans.” As it happens, Alicia Silverstone really can’t pronounce Haitians, and no one bothered to correct her.
