An enduring trope is seen in bad boy and good girl movies that highlights one of the most intriguing romantic pairings. For audiences, there's always been something alluring about the bad boy. He's dangerous and unpredictable, but he has a softer side that makes it all the more effective when the audience sees him fall in love. By contrast, good girls sometimes live lives that are too sheltered and secure but offer a sweet and innocent personality. Together, these boys and girls offer each other romance and purpose.
That's the setup for many good-girl-bad-boy pairings in movies and television and has resulted in some memorable examples of the trope. While this kind of pairing is most prevalent in teen projects, it can also be found in some of the best Disney couples, and even in some of the adult pairings on modern television. The best examples of the pairing endure conflict and drive the story forward, often bringing out the best in one another as they do.
She's All That is a 1999 rom-com referenced and spoofed many times since its release. In the movie, Freddie Prinze Jr. stars as Zack Slater, a popular high school jock. When he learns his girlfriend cheated on him, he claims he can make any girl in the school fall in love with him. When his friends make fun of him for it, he bets them he can take any random girl and turn her into the prom queen in six weeks. His friends choose an awkward, unpopular girl named Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook).
The movie sees Prinze Jr. playing an arrogant and selfish high school jock, and his only reason for dating Laney is to prove he can make any girl popular with his magic. It is insulting and wrong on every level. However, as with films of this sort, Laney proves to be a strong-willed young woman who manages to change Zack for the better.
She helps turn him into a kinder and more considerate person in the end, forcing him to understand how he was wrong and to grow as a person. A remake arrived in 2021 with He's All That, and the comedy Not Another Teen Movie spoofed the storyline, helping to cement it in pop culture history.
It seemed Star Wars was leading to a story where the good boy farm kid, Luke Skywalker, would rescue the beautiful Princess Leia and then find love by her side. However, that was never in the cards. While Luke thought she was beautiful, the bad boy Han Solo ended up winning her heart.
That was better for the story since Luke and Leia were revealed to be brother and sister, though this wasn't known to them or the audience until Return of the Jedi. Instead, Han and Leia's back-and-forth added the old screwball comedy formula to the space opera and was a perfect love story.
Han Solo was the guy who never seemed to want anything to tie him down. Princess Leia had more things to think about than romance since she led a rebellion. However, Han and Leia found love and ended up with their own son before their strong wills drove them apart again. With that said, when Han Solo dies in The Last Jedi, Leia's reaction shows how much she really loves the guy she once called a "nerf herder."
There aren't many good people in the 1989 dark comedy Heathers. The "Heathers" are high school bullies who treat everyone horribly, but still remain the most popular girls in the school. However, the one member who is good at heart, even if she wants to be part of the bad girl clique, is Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder).
Things go wrong when she meets a new bad boy in her school named J.D. (Christian Slater). Unlike many bad boy good girl movies, J.D. actually turned Veronica into a bad girl for a short time. He started killing the Heathers both because he was a young serial killer and also because he promised this could make Veronica popular once they were gone.
However, Veronica was truly a good person and finally stood up to J.D. This movie is not one in which the good girl converts the bad boy and falls in love. Instead, Heathers has a more explosive finale, helping it to stand out in a crowded field within this subgenre.
Based on the best-selling novels by E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey is an erotic romance drama directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. The story follows a young billionaire business magnate named Christian Grey (Jamie Dorman) who meets a shy young college graduate named Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), and they embark on a sadomasochistic sexual relationship.
The relationship started with Christian saying he wasn't into romance, but things changed when they did get a chance to date. The sex is hardcore and employs painful bondage, but slowly, Christian gets Ana to give in to what he wants.
Some have considered Christian and Ana to have a toxic relationship, with Ana submitting to whatever Christian wants to do to her, though both are professing their love all the while. That makes it tough to fully gauge what's right and wrong between the two. Christian does shun her for selfish reasons at times, proving that she probably should find better, but eventually, she convinces him to love her just the same.
The Spectacular Now is an indie coming-of-age drama from 2013 based on the novel by Tim Tharp. In the movie, Miles Teller plays Sutter Keely, a popular high school senior who spent most of his last year of school drinking and partying all the time.
He wants to go to college, but he has some dark secrets from his past, including a father who is also an alcoholic and who his mother has forbidden him to see. Shailene Woodley plays Aimee, a good girl who falls in love with Sutter despite their wildly different personalities.
The movie is about a lot more than Aimee and Sutter's relationship. Aimee's dad died, and she wants to help Sutter reconnect with his dad, which is not a good idea. However, as with most good girl bad boy movies, Aimee is the best thing that could happen to Sutter, helping him be a better person, although he is never the best thing for her at this time in their lives.
Lailana (Winona Ryder) is a valedictorian on her way to becoming a filmmaker while Troy (Ethan Hawke) is a failed musician breaking the rules, and yet, they seem to fit together perfectly. They make for a quintessential Gen X bad boy and good girl couple while also fitting into the friends-to-lovers trope that is also popular. It leaves Lailana with a typical decision in these types of movies: seek out a more secure life or risk it all with the moody and artistic rebel.
