Here is a list of some of the beautiful boys that you admired throughout all of your teen years, but you forgot about until now. You’re welcome.
1. Kostas in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
This muscular man, Michael Rady, is perhaps the most understated heartthrob in the entire collection of our generation’s chick flicks. Between his bicep-hugging white T-shirt and his incredibly realistic Greek accent, how could you not be obsessed with him?

2. Raymond in Aquamarine
You know the type — bronzed and chiseled surfer boy with dirty blonde hair and a killer white smile. Yeah, Jake McDorman completely nailed it. Despite the fact that he was into girls with crimped hair and slimy fish scales in this movie, he stills gets a 10/10.

3. Steve Phillips in Sleepover
What we loved about Sean Faris when we were young was that his character was relatable. We could picture ourselves falling for a hunky guy, complete with dimples and a skateboard in our own high school. Let’s be honest, I’d steal his boxers any day.

4. Shawn in Boy Meets World
Rider Strong (coolest name ever) flawlessly acted as the troubled bad boy, which is the kind of guy we all secretly love. You know you couldn’t help your middle-school-self from daydreaming about sitting next to Shawn in his leather jacket, sharing a pizza with Corey and Topanga on the planet’s most perfect double date.

5. Josh Framm in Airbud: Golden Receiver
First of all, it is a scientific fact that there is nothing hotter than a man and his dog (especially a Golden Retriever I mean, come on). Once you add star football player, Kevin Zegers, and a happy ending to a feel-good movie, you really just can’t go wrong.

6. Stanley Yelnats in Holes
The personal connection you felt with young Shia Labeouf in this film is undeniable. The sweet and innocent cutie amongst a crowd of delinquents is sure to tug at your heartstrings. Be careful though, and make sure you don’t fall for any other men in orange jumpsuits.

7. Ethan Craft in Lizzie McGuire
Although he was a blithering idiot, you still couldn’t help but be attracted to the hot jock, played by Clayton Snyder. Dating a guy like Ethan would undoubtedly have its ups and downs, but at least you know he’d probably be down to buy you spaghetti.

8. Duke Orsino in She’s the Man
This movie as a whole is underrated, but Channing Tatum as a sexy soccer player received less recognition than it should have. Here’s the good news: he’s been in a ton of other movies since She’s the Man and is still smoking hot. Bad news: he’s married and has a child. Game over.

9. Jess Aarons in Bridge to Terabithia
A question I ask myself daily: Why weren’t there any adorable boys like Josh Hutcherson that wanted to build make-believe wonderlands in the woods with me when I was ten years old? If his cuteness wasn’t enough to bring you to tears, the loss of his childhood sweetheart at the end of the movie sure did.

10. Austin Ames in A Cinderella Story
He plays football, fixes cars, and kisses girls in the rain – we’ve hit the trifecta. Chad Michael Murray played prince charming when he ditched his popularity for the girl of his dreams (this rarely happens in the real world). Ugh, swoon.
