The Best Movie Boyfriends
Happy National Boyfriend Day! To help celebrate this day, we thought we’d share our picks for the top movie boyfriends. It was harder than it seems. We wanted to make a list of characters that were actually good boyfriends. So, Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic? Not really a boyfriend. Freddie Prinze Jr. in She’s All That? He only pursued Rachael Leigh Cook because of a bet. Ben Stiller in There’s Something About Mary? He’s actually kind of a stalker. So with that preamble out of the way, here we go, in alphabetical order.
Antonio Banderas as Miguel Alvarez in Philadelphia
Miguel was loving and kind and there for his boyfriend as he got sick. This might be the best acting performance of Banderas’s long career.
Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
He’s a troublemaker, but there’s no doubt he’s a devoted boyfriend who know how to take a lady out for a whirlwind day trip.
Charlie Chaplin as the Tramp in City Lights
He had nothing to give, as you might’ve guessed by his name, but he pulled out all the stops to give Virginia Cherrill’s “A Blind Girl” the life she deserves.
John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything
Has there ever been a more iconic moment from a movie boyfriend than this one? Probably not.
Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in the Bourne film series
Their love was all too fleeting, but in those moments, Jason Bourne seemed to be a loving and protecting boyfriend.
Brett Favre as Brett Favre in There’s Something About Mary
That’s right, he was Mary’s best option, and only got dumped because of a lie. It’s a shame!
Jared Gilman as Sam in Moonrise Kingdom
Gilman shone in this lovely story about adolescent romance.
Ryan Gosling as Noah Calhoun in The Notebook
The fascination with Mr. Gosling dates back to this 2004 movie, as he won the hearts of many as a man unafraid to show his love.
Al Pacino as Sonny in Dog Day Afternoon
The dude robbed a bank so he could help pay for his boyfriend’s sex change operation. That’s a bold, if completely illegal, gesture of love.
Will Smith in Independence Day
Guy saved the world. I mean, c’mon.
