As for which scenes from the teen comedy were most fun to film with Heath?

Julia emphasized that her character Kat Strafford’s paintball date with Heath’s Patrick Verona was “really, really fun.” Meanwhile, she remembered shooting the iconic moment when Kat reads her titular poem aloud in class as being extremely bittersweet.

“The scene where I read the poem, I did not expect to start crying or tearing up or choking up, whatever,” Julia recalled.

“But it just happened because it was the movie was coming to an end, the production was coming to an end. And I think I was just so moved by the whole experience.”

And time has only shown Julia that audiences agree.

In fact, the Wish You Were Here director is constantly amazed at how many people from younger generations have seen the ’90s classic.

“I’m so happy and thrilled that people are still talking about that movie,” Julia previously told E! News.

“It was really important to me as my first big role as an actress.

It was a part that really spoke to me. And so, to know that audiences are still talking about it 25 years later is what you dream of as a performer.”
