10 Unforgettable Teen Movie Hotties, Ranked From Worst to Best

Moviefone
March 8, 2017 - 1 min read

There are many teen movie babes from the '90s/early 2000s, so we've decided to look back at a few memorable ones and rank them from whatevs to all that...AND a bag of chips. Note: Their positions are are based on personality, heart, style, and general boyfriend material-ness. 

10. Billy Loomis in 'Scream' (1996)

Skeet Ulrich was, like, the total hottie du jour back in the mid '90s, but Billy Loomis is pretty much the boyfriend from hell. Dead sexy, indeed. 

9. Sam Coulson in 'Never Been Kissed' (1999)

This sleaze in a polo shirt is automatically pushed to the second to last position on this list because he is NOT a teen, yet he clearly crushed on one (well, he totally thought she was under 18). Sure, he's an extremely hot teacher, but his actions were pretty inappropriate. Nope. 

8. Sebastian Valmont in 'Cruel Intentions' (1999)

Sebastian looked like a beautiful blonde angel; he was rich and had a sweet ride. He was also a sociopath, with little regard for human life. No wonder he landed on top of our list on our ranking of '90s teen movie douchebags. 

7. Zack Siler in 'She's All That' (1999)

Don't even play it like you weren't involved in that bet, Zack. You totally participated. You just happened to fall in love with the "hidden" babe behind those (gasp!) glasses.  There's nothing truly terrible about this guy and he proves to be a solid bro throughout the story, but he spends the entire film whining about which Ivy league college to go to. Get some real problems. 

6. Ben in 'Crossroads' (2002)

Dare we say that Ben is a pretty underrated leading man in the teen movie canon? He's done time, but only because he was doing something noble, so it doesn't really count. Points off for getting way too mad when Brit drives his car and for wearing a hideous cuff. Whatever. He helps her write "I'm Not a Girl (Not Yet a Woman") and eventually becomes a solid love interest worthy of the Princess of Pop. Thank you for writing this film, Shonda Rhimes. Yes, that Shonda Rhimes. 

5. Cliff in 'Bring It On' (2000)

Cliff was kind of a music snob who was a liiiiitle too proud to show off his vintage Clash tee. He also wore an "F to Queens" shirt when he clearly lived in SoCal. But despite his cliched shirt choices, he was pretty adorable. He also supported Torrance, even if he wasn't the "cheerleading" type, and he made a really cute song for her that we can all jam out to alone in our bedrooms to this day. 

4. Jake in 'Freaky Friday' (2003)

Serenading someone with a Britney Spears song is basically the millennium equivalent of the old "Say Anything" boom box trick, so we have to hand it to Jake for the valiant effort. He may have been a tad too obsessed with a woman twice his age, but he was just keeping it real, guys. 

3. Derek Reynolds in 'Save the Last Dance' (2001)

This guy is a true catch. He's driven, he can move, and he's headed to Georgetown so he can become a doctor. Jackpot! He goes out of his way to be a good person to Sara, and he encourages her to follow her dancin' dreams. Bravo. 

2. Josh in 'Clueless' (1995)

Young Paul Rudd, oh how we adore you. Even with "chin pubes." You're the CNN-watching, Radiohead-listening, wannabe environmental lawyer of our '90s dreams. The only woman good enough for you is Queen Cher Horowitz. 

1. Patrick Verona in '10 Things I Hate About You' (1999)

Heath Ledger's perfect breakout performance, as the mysterious Patrick, goes down in history as one of the best teen movie objects-of-affection ever. Sure, he was rough around the edges, but he had a big heart and a magical smile that could make anyone melt. It's still a lifelong dream for someone to sing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" to us, complete with a marching band and an elaborate public display. We definitely don't hate you, Patrick. Not even close. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.
