1.- Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) – 10 reasons to hate you (10 Things I Hate About You)
Sure, Patrick smokes, drinks, and gets high in seedy joints, but at the same time, he's undeniably funny and lovable. Well, it is for everyone except Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles). Finally, Patrick will try to win her over (for a little easy money). What more can you ask for from a guy capable of doing a ridiculous dance with the high school band?
2.- Wade Walker (Johnny Depp) – Cry, Baby
Wade Walker's look is clearly inspired by James Dean's, and like Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, Wade belongs on the wrong side of town and hangs out with the wrong people. If his badass air wasn't enough, he is also capable of melting women with the ability of him to shed a single tear.
3.- Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) – Bridget Jones's Diary (Bridget Jones's Diary)
Okay, Daniel treats women like rags and cheats on Bridget. But she has such spectacular hair... and silver labia. When push comes to shove, he can fight soul and body for Bridget's love.
4.- Brandon Darrow (Leonardo DiCaprio) – Celebrity
Leo is habitually a bad boy in each of his interpretations; from heartthrob Romeo in Romeo + Juliet, to billionaire stockbroker Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street. But if there is something that is confirmed here, it is that Leo also has a part as a bad boy in real life, like in this cameo on Celebrity where he plays a spoiled Hollywood star. Perfect combination between reality and fiction.
5.- Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) – Dirty Dancing
As in many bad boy movies, Johnny Castle is a guy who keeps his emotions under a huge shell. But unlike most of them, he can externalize them through dance. While most see Johnny as a threat, teenager Baby (Jennifer Grey) gets to see far beyond her inscrutable exterior.
6.- J.D. (Christian Slater) – School for Young Killers (Heathers)
Okay, J.D. is a psychopath who plans murders and the destruction of his entire school. But ultimately, he's just another poor misunderstood boy. "Maybe I'm killing everyone at school because nobody likes me." An unforgettable role by Christian Slater.
7.- Troy Dyer (Ethan Hawke) – Reality Bites
Troy is another one of our '90s bad boys. An unemployed musician with a hot-tempered attitude that gets worse when his father passes away. Lelaina (Winona Ryder) will try to lead him back on the right path, showing us the great poet that he harbors inside him.
8.- Han Solo (Harrison Ford) – Star Wars
Yes, there are also bad guys in galaxies far, far away. Unlike the golden boy Luke Skywalker, Han Solo is your typical loner... until he passionately falls into the arms of Princess Leia.
9.- John Bender (Judd Nelson) – The Club of Five (The Breakfast Club)
John Bender is identified as "the criminal" of the Club of Five, among other things, because of his fondness for smoking marijuana and destroying everything he finds in his path. But behind his facade hides a soft heart. Despite enduring the taunts of Claire (Molly Ringwald) during her hours of arrest, both melt into a kiss, a fact that explains why Bender ends the film by raising his arm in victory.
10.- Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) – The Karate Kid
Blonde, rich, titled, pampered: first of all, he meets all the requirements that we don't usually see in bad boys. Nothing could be further from the truth. Perhaps that is why we enjoy it so much when we see him lose a fight. At least Johnny learns an interesting lesson: be a little less of a jerk.
