Another bad boy on the list. But he's not actually bad. He's more ... troubled. His dad just sucks, that's all. But he loves Claire. And he really cares about her. Enough to make her not feel ashamed of her virginity anymore. Love him.
The baddest of the bad boys. But he'd make a good boyfriend not only because he knows how to pull off the Miami Vice look, but because he knows how to have a good time. At an all-prepster party, he and his girlfriend are the only ones in their underwear jumping on the bed drinking champagne. Clearly, he's a winner.
Jennifer and I are having a debate over whether Ferris Bueller is gay. Unfortunately, Jennifer's argument is a little stronger. "Look, he's gay because he wants to marry his girlfriend when he's 18 and wears a woman's vest while singing 'Danke Schoen' and spending the day at a museum." Ok. Fine. But he still makes a pretty great boyfriend.
Marry me.
A masculine dancer. And broodingly handsome. Especially in those blue jeans. The biggest props go to his ability to handle Sarah Jessica Parker.

Meh, so he's a homicidal wise ass. So are all heartbroken teenagers. But what's great is that he has an appreciation for Europeans. It's the French European exchange student who brings him back to life. An appreciation for high culture. Check.
I'm not really sure what about him makes him a good boyfriend except that he plays a great boyfriend in the movie. And it's Johnny Depp pre fake Euro accent stage.
So sexy. And courageous! And he loves his little bro! And he knows how to wear a sweat band on his head without looking like a jackass!
If anyone knows how to stand up to the town's minister who just so happens to be the father of the girl he's dating, it's Ren. And he knows how to throw a party.
Um, he freaking changes for this girl. But only his looks. From an adorably geeky Patrick Dempsey to a seriously adorably geeky, perhaps a little better dressed, Patrick Dempsey.
With all that Zack goes through (his best friend hangs himself and he has a love-hate relationship with the Navy), he still emerges as the good guy. And who doesn't like a guy in a uniform?
River Phoenix is such a cutie here. But really, Indiana Jones is the guy we want to date. At any age, he's a great guy. No explanation necessary.
This is a picture from the last scene in the movie. When Danny and Debbie get back together for realz. They were meant for each other. And Rob Lowe is charming in every role he plays. Even in St. Elmo's Fire as the asshole.
But the real winner from this movie is Kevin. He's a poet. He's in love with his best friend's girl, and yet very polite about it. So polite that Demi Moore thinks he's gay. He's not. He's totally boyfriend material.
How can you forget Lloyd Dobler?! He is the ULTIMATE 80s man… or man for any decade, really. :)
As for Pretty in Pink… its all about the Ducky. I’d take him any day over Steff.
Ducky!!! (from Pretty in Pink, naturally) I had such a HUGE crush on him. I also really wanted John Cusack’s best friend in Better Off Dead
I don’t know if I can forgive the omission of Keith from Some Kind of Wonderful. Artistic, can fix your car, honest, ginger-haired. Mmmm..sorry spaced out for a minute..
Jake Ryan is so ridiculously good looking. I could stare into those browns all day. I seriously think he is the boy I’ve compared all other boys’ looks to. In fact, he bears quite the resemblance to my fiance.
What?! Blane (Andrew McCarthy) from Pretty in Pink isn’t on the list! Who wouldn’t want a good-looking boyfriend with a BMW who tells you he loves you at the prom???
He’s a top contender. But, he’s a little insecure. He has trouble deciding whether his reputation is more important than who he dates. But in other news, Pretty in Pink has been playing basically every weekend without fail on WE.
Woah. Your missing Marty McFly!
Thankyou! I was waiting to see him on the slideshow :) who wouldn’t want to date Michael J. Fox?!
That pic of john cusack is from when he starred in The Sure Thing. Also a great flick though.
You wouldn’t want to date Lloyd Dobler?!
Agreed! He’s pretty much perfect. I’m a little upset he didn’t make the list.
