It has been nearly 16 years (!!!) since Dawson's Creek reached its conclusion, but you better believe this ultimate teen drama is just as near and dear to our hearts. Seriously, name a better love triangle than Joey, Pacey, and Dawson — we'll wait. As well as inspiring basically all of the teen dramas that followed it, Dawson's Creek delivered some of the most quotable lines and memorable scenes of all time, and even if you've never seen a episode, we bet you still know that notorious James Van Der Beek crying meme. Let's revisit some of our favorite Dawson's Creek moments of all time, shall we?
