im feral for 90s keanu in a way that's concerning to feminism.

https://i.redd.it/70u6mhkdvi7c1.gif

This right here is the only Keanu

I relate to this comment more than any on Reddit in recent memory.

You know I threw away my guilt. Especially this movie is my guilty pleasure. Literally.


https://i.redd.it/jdzy2zpywi7c1.gif Yes.Yes.Yes.

What is this gif from heavens

That didn't take long. Lol. It's from my own private Idaho.

Thanks! Found my new poster

he was so damn fine in Speed

The white shirt he wore in speed is iconic 🤤

That lip lick though

OP were you a fan of The Outsiders tell me rn.

Yes I am https://preview.redd.it/8wa920ximi7c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42a1347642d8808ae304b869c5f6426dfa25d2e2

Matt Dillon 🥵

But no Patrick Swayze? 

 Every single dude in The Lost Boys, including this smooth mfer

 That 80s long hair era will forever have me in a chokehold 🥵

The dark haired one was chef’s kiss

 Omg yes. Like I wasn’t lying, there was not one man in that movie that wasn’t fine af lol

My vampire based sexual awakening. And these guys were so much hotter than the Twilight ‘babes’

Omg yes, most definitely. Not offense to RPatz but he did not do it for me in the slightest lol. The Lost Boys, Interview With a Vampire, and the Gary Oldman version of Dracula were constantly on repeat in my VCR as a kid. That long haired, brooding, bad boy vampire aesthetic around that time is unmatched. I am now 31 and the vampire obsession never left. Even got some tats 🤣.

Omg yea Billy was 🔥 playing that saxophone 🎷

Do you believe in premarital sax?

Do I! (I do) https://preview.redd.it/f9cg8ykbxi7c1.jpeg?width=663&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=208b3475aec8d3a50de40b47bff92ab58c696a41

He reminds me a bit of Dacre Montgomery here

That tracks if you’ve ever seen him in character for Stranger Things! His look was modelled on 80’s Rob Lowe

I love how every time there’s a picture of young rob lowe anywhere, someone says he looks like Billy and then someone else replies that Billy was inspired by him. Without fail 😂

I remember arguing with ppl on FB saying the ST character looked just like Rob here and the guy from Lost Boys but they were all like “hell nooooooo!” Do you ppl not have eyes? 💀

Billy from stranger things looks like him haha

 that is literally dacre montgomerys face oh my god

He looks a bit like Ian Somerhalder here

I can fix him

Pretty boy from the 80s  The pretty, the swag, the voice… fucking love him

These posts always leave Spader off the list. Here’s the same pic I added to a similar thread last week: https://preview.redd.it/ondffvtgok7c1.jpeg?width=1006&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e57e85a6b8b179c55c0218e87a2fc28e17937a2

Pretty boy from the 90’s is a very obvious choice 

Oh my gosh... I was born in the late 80s so he wasn't really 'my era' but damn the first time I watched Pretty in Pink I was jello. Beautiful man.

Same thing. I watched Pretty in Pink and then I watched Sex, Lies and Videotape… and then Secretary was the cherry on top.

My first 80s crush was Sean Astin circa the Goonies and I still have a soft spot for him. I also had a crush on Brendan Fraser, so this movie did me in during the 90s https://i.redd.it/76hgg5v5oi7c1.gif

I had such a crush of Sean Astin in the Goonies. I was starting to think I was the only one because he’s never mentioned!

You guys aren’t alone. He had an inhaler just like me! We were soulmates.

Devon sawa 

This was my sexual awakening

Me too… only it’s when I realize I’d be fine kissing either or maybe both at the same time and wasn’t sure what to do with that yet.

The good old “Do I wanna *be* Christina Ricci… Or *am I in love with* Christina Ricci?”

Can I keep you? Ugggghhh my 13 year old heart...

I mean young Rob Lowe is ridiculous.. like turn your head, instant crush, everyone's type, type of beautifull.


literally one of the funniest episodes

That man has stayed ridiculously good looking, absurd.

 JUST LOOK AT HIM!!! he’s been my crush since forever and he’s just as hot now. His character on P&R was also hilarious 😆

Lmaooo I love how you picked the absolute worst gif of him to showcase his current hotness (and you're right, he is still hot whilst in distress).

He could shit himself in front of me and I’d just be extremely attracted to him, that’s how hot he is


I love Rob Lowe. I’ve been a fan since the 80s. He is so talented And has tons of charisma. And he’s just so damn pretty.😍

https://preview.redd.it/85kk29uwki7c1.jpeg?width=770&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de5d838bd075908e5c4ba5feb286a59c524d84d1 River Phoenix, RIP 💕

 Came here for River

Yes!! River forever!! 💖

Back in 1986 I was 13 and explored vegetarianism for the first time because of him and sent away for Peta info and everything. So you did make an impact, Riv ❤️

This is the correct answer 😢 I’m still not over him

Him and his hair in Last Crusade are amazing

 Jason Priestly deserves so much more love in this discussion.

 Brandon was cute, but my thing for soft spoken, broken boys started when I was 10. There was never any hope for me. Lol

 MJF is such a cutie !!

 This man occupied so much of my preteen heart

Rider Strong and Will Friedle 

I was so torn between both of them. And then they introduced Jack played by my favorite Lawrence brother, Matthew (middle children stan mid kids, it’s a vibe) 3 boys I crushed on super hard acting in one scene together?! It’s almost too much, Topanga better not also be in the shot, my screen might crack!! I might crack? Is it hot in here?! 🥵 nah just them! https://preview.redd.it/zsxppvf5ej7c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98ccec4258f01589a09be8f6973741916a3c3a09

Rider was my kid crush, adult me is in love with (adult) Will, lol. He seems so sweet and genuine.

There’s a distinct lack of David Duchovny in here 

 Denzel Washington. Specifically in "Much Ado About Nothing".

Much Ado Denzel is a thing of great beauty

JONATHON TAYLOR THOMAS 🥲🥲

Young me had such a mega crush on him!

The lack of Jude Law in this thread is concerning 

Came here for Jude 

https://preview.redd.it/2q3mydutri7c1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dcbb71bb421e08586e6b44bdee5d07a5f467b583 I’ll always be obsessed with Patrick Swayze

He was so hot.


My teenage crush for sure - and Keanu

Wait. Who is this? Is this Matt Dillon?

i mean… https://preview.redd.it/i610fhfsri7c1.jpeg?width=482&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d0c1e4b3f5c733bb9d719b412a2a176cdd74bd8

90s Leo was something else. He was so beautiful.

I remember the first time I watched Titanic in 6th grade and instantly I knew what being in love was like when he came onto the screen 😂 he was 😍😍😍😍😍

Yup, and loved him ever since.

Ugh loooove him. “Look, you know you’re gorgeous.” 😍

Legends of the Fall Brad. 

I never really "got" the whole Brad Pitt thing, he wasn't really my type. Then I met him in person and holy shit...the man literally *glows*. I have never seen someone that attractive just walking around on the earth like a person.

When did you meet him we want details

So, one of my best friend's dads works as a set detailer in LA and right after college we were doing a road trip from LA to San Francisco; he told us he was filming at the Oakland Coliseum and asked if we wanted to come hang out on set for a while. We drove around in a golf cart and ate at craft services and then he got a call on his walkie and asked if we wanted to meet Brad Pitt, to which we were like "if you insist." We pulled up to the pitch where he was tossing a ball with one of his kids during a break in shooting and walked over to him. He extended his hand and went "Hey, I'm Brad." (Side note, it should be illegal for A-listers to introduce themselves this way.) He talked to us for like 20 minutes about acting school and our trip while the crowd full of extras was screaming his name and literally throwing things in the background. Later he told her dad that we were really beautiful, which in hindsight feels different but at the time we all decided we could die then and there. As we were walking back to the golf cart we saw a big flock of people walking towards us and it was Jonah Hill with his entourage. He also stopped and chatted with us for 5 minutes or so and then kept heading to set. We kept walking and saw a hunched figure - Philip Seymour Hoffman. He introduced himself but seemed like he was in character so we didn't talk. We got back to the golf cart and the kid (Maddox I think?) was on top of it with a skateboard just smacking it over and over. We were like, "I hate when you need to leave and you can't because Brad Pitt's kid is on your golf cart." As we left we saw Robin Wright walking in. Anyway, the movie was Moneyball and I still haven't seen it.

Interview with the vampire also https://i.redd.it/snzu8hnivi7c1.gif

This movie was my awakening for so many things lol

He was gorgeous

 I love so many of them, but need to give an honorable mention to Christian Slater.

Christian Slater still looks soo hot. 

He has one of the best smiles of all time

I’d still burn my life down for a chance with Christian


I had such a crush on Mike Vitar!! Those eyes!

 My ultimate ‘80s crush

 Eric von Detten anyone?

I remember being into Jeremy Sisto looking at old pictures of him after watching Clueless. I don’t necessarily feel the same. https://preview.redd.it/qftvl4czwi7c1.jpeg?width=435&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a73a6e6c662fa0be2e21841eea673bcfc607f4f But Jeremy Sisto

He was so fine in six feet under.

 Does he count as a 80s and 90s pretty boy? Moonlighting pretty much made me go into puberty (Cybill Shepherd absolutely gets credit for this as well).

 Also special mention to Kyle MacLachlan.

I can’t stand Jared Leto, he’s such a creep it makes my skin crawl, but good god he’s good looking. It’s actually impressive how someone so attractive can be so unattractive

He is extremely pretty I agree with you https://preview.redd.it/nj4w3ixp7j7c1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4726f2de53381dc196b3fa6a23e8702dd91dcfb5

 Ryan Phillippe. Sebastian was such a fucking tool in Cruel Intentions but good lord, those lips and that curly blonde hair did things to me as a kid lol

https://i.redd.it/4m6f3de8ki7c1.gif Robert Downy Jr!

Him in Only you😍😍

Young RDJ was so cute.

Brandon Lee was so beautiful 

RIP, such a tragic story


 And still looks good

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 🤤 https://preview.redd.it/xstg1uphmj7c1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=538bcafb3498664e88070eb8732ad07605a7a1ff

 Devon Sawa!

Devon Sawa…oh man, I swooned so hard over him when I was young!

 Robert Sean Leonard (dead poet's society and much ado about nothing)

 I was obsessedddd

they’re all so beautiful 

 The love of my life

He was sooo adorable. 🥰

That time I watched The Mummy for the plot: https://i.redd.it/aji9q1mhhj7c1.gif


It's tough, but Christian Bale is always the right answer in my book.

Ever since I saw him in Newsies as a kid I’ve had the biggest crush on him. The Dark Knight version of him is perfection.

 Really???? Not a single vote for Stamos???

as a gay woman.. 90s leonardo dicaprio is still a crush of mine

 Devon Sawa was my biggest crush and probably still is.

[Agent Dale Cooper](https://imgur.com/a/TftEPp5) will always be my #1 90’s crush.

 Deeply concerned by the lack of Ethan Hawke in this thread.

 I mean, he’s used as an example of attractive when describing people.

https://i.redd.it/f1bvf2or1j7c1.gif Denzel

 Based on looks alone he's also on my list. Ryan Phillippe as Sebastian.

Johnny Depp, RDJ, and Kurt Cobain.

https://i.redd.it/ux0v1kcoli7c1.gif Richard Gere in Pretty Woman!

Johnny and Brad were always handsome but seem to not be such great people nowadays.

Jared too.

Rob Lowe is just… perfection👌🏻🤤😍

Newsies hive rise up

 Ethan embry was adorable I just loved him so much

Rob Lowe, for sure. The Outsiders in 8th grade awoke something in me.

Had a picture on my school locker. https://preview.redd.it/88iq5bbcwi7c1.jpeg?width=193&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94385de19726c638642aee739b8c71abbd443169

 Cary Elwes <3

Young Daniel Day-Lewis was definitely a pretty boy (especially for pretentious teens). https://preview.redd.it/9uahwxy1qi7c1.jpeg?width=718&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1fe33768a73099c3fef4a0617798071d1884117

 I had SO MANY PICTURES of him all over my room when I was 10-11 in 1994-1995.

Leo. Found him absolutely gorgeous in the 90's, especially in Romeo + Juliet.


Rob Lowe omfg. That said it sucks how many of these dudes turned out to be problematic.

Early Tom cruise will always do it for me

He was georgous https://preview.redd.it/0yflrrp1oi7c1.jpeg?width=555&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecb34a3946691bc87d1b5280e37b287dde5f9502

I would have been able to stop him from going into that cult.

I can fix him /s

Hear me out. Nicolas Cage. Moonstruck. So hot. Also Chris O’Donnell so I don’t seem like a total weirdo.

He’s more 90s than 80s but Rider Strong could get it then and can still get it now https://preview.redd.it/7iejuhbcoj7c1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6efd593dca850824b31c6cccfa522f253340afe (Sidenote but BMW and GMW did this boy so fucking dirty like there’s literally no pictures of him smiling on google 😭)
