spent a minute on it welcome to Miz Mojo

for the top 20 teen movie Couples now

there's a way to get a guy's attention

huh my mission in life

but obviously I struck your fancy so you

see it worked the world makes sense

again for this list we're looking at

high school romances that epitomize the

teen movie genre while the actors might

be in their 20s or 30s the characters

themselves need to be teenagers to

qualify since we'll be discussing the

fates of these couples there will be

some spoilers which young couple takes

you back to your first love let us know

in the comments

number 20 Viola Hastings and Duke orsino

She's the Man

while many of our picks are contemporary

you'll find Shakespeare popping up quite

a bit she's the man reimagine

Shakespeare's 12th night through a

modern lens although Amanda binds his

Viola nonetheless finds herself out of

place in High Society

that I always find you in the middle

bed timing she falls for Channing

Tatum's Duke under unconventional

circumstances having to pose as her twin

brother Sebastian so as duke confides in

Sebastian about his feelings for viola

he's really opening himself up to the

girl he likes well why yes I do my

favorites gouda oh

I like doing it too see see what we're

flowing we're talking about cheese so

what flow is blue the relationship might

commence on a deceptive note but it

allows the two soccer players to develop

a friendship first by the time they get

together Duke doesn't just view Viola as

a girlfriend but as an all-around friend

and an equal partner on the field you

know maybe if I'd have known you were a

girl we wouldn't have talked like we did

we got to know each other the same way

and that would have been a shame number

19. Sam Montgomery and Austin Ames A

Cinderella Story

I believe in the first sight

[Music]

I'll let you know this Hillary Duff

vehicle is another modern retelling of a

classic tale of course for today's kids

2004 might seem like a period piece how

many people under 20 will recognize a

flip phone or AOL Instant Messenger this

is how Sam communicates with her online

pen pal Nomad who turns out to be Chad

Michael Murray's Austin it's 2 A.M we've

been at this for five hours

yeah

well I think we both we broke our record

while the technology is dated it still

Rings true to how many couples initially

connect in the digital age eventually

Sam and Austin get closer at a dance but

Sam's identity remains a secret when the

masks come off Sam and Austin must face

their personal demons at home before

finally coming together helping each

other to grow as individuals before

driving off into the sunset

at least for now hey I'm only a freshman

number 18 Torrence Shipman and Cliff

Pantone Bring It On

just have to know that you can do it

[Music]

and if it helps

I know you can in most teen movies

cheerleaders are typically portrayed as

antagonist figures while Torrance isn't

without her flaws she does mature

throughout the story as a rivalry turned

friendship puts things into perspective

along the way Torrance realizes that she

deserves much better than her boyfriend

Aaron dumping him in one of the film's

most satisfying scenes you're a great

cheerleader Aaron

step

maybe you're not exactly boyfriend

material

bye-bye what's even more satisfying is

seeing torrance's relationship with

Cliff Blossom without saying a word

these two make the simple Act of

brushing teeth look adorable although

they may deny it at first it isn't long

until they're engaging in cheer sex and

it's the best either has ever had by the

time Cliff makes Torrance a mixtape it's

clear that these two are just what each

other need

look at my

win number 17 Katie Herron and Aaron

Samuels Mean Girls

If You're a Mean Girls fan you

understand that one day has special

meaning it's not the day the Plastics

wear pink but the day that Aaron asked

Katie what day it is it's October 3rd

two weeks later we spoke again the

senior football star finds himself in a

love triangle with Katie and his ex

Regina George although Regina is the

school's reigning queen bee Katie's

Ascension to popularity demonstrates how

easily one can go mean no don't tell me

to shut up

I wasn't God you know what

you are just like a clone of Virginia

in time Katie finds that she didn't need

to resort to such deceptive measures to

get Aaron's attention it's what sets

Katie apart from the Plastics that Drew

Aaron to her their adorkable romance

isn't without hiccups and various forms

of vomit but once everyone has learned a

lesson they make for a perfect pair

how's your stomach now

it's fine do you feel nauseous at all no

have you been drinking

drinking cool number 16. Olive

Pendergast and woodchuck Todd Easy A Joe

Goldberg was reading The Scarlet Letter

in his New York bookstore when she

walked into his life okay thankfully

that's not how this teen romance

commences the attraction between Olive

and Todd is much healthier oh my God the

illusion is shattered their relationship

actually begins before high school when

Todd wasn't ready for his first kiss

Olive looked out for him laying the

groundwork for a True Romance to

flourish years later as the rest of the

school shames Olive due to a lie that

got out of hand Todd isn't quick to

believe every rumor he hears

I think I'm cool I do and I think you're

pretty

smart

did you form this opinion prior to my

little transformation way prior he knows

who Olive is encouraging her to get the

truth out while sticking it to the

haters it's a relationship based largely

on respect with neither ever pressuring

the other

why are you all of a sudden Into Me Now

I don't know

I haven't over analyzed it like you're

about to

um

good night Olive good night Lobster time

number 15 Nick O'Leary and Nora

silverberg Nick and Nora's Infinite

Playlist

before Nick and Nora even formally meet

It's Love at First sound it makes the

best mixes in the world look at this

cover art Tris does not know what she

gave up

road to closure volume 12 or a bastard

when Nick makes mixed CDs for Tris

expressing his heartache his true

musical soulmate is just under his nose

and yet when the two finally do meet

Nora is totally unaware just looking for

someone to briefly play her boyfriend

okay

[Music]

let's go with it okay

as the night progresses though the two

find that they have much more than music

in common with a little push from his

friends Nick realizes who he should be

making mixed CDs for while Nora manages

to shake off her own ex when the two

finally make beautiful music together

it's bound to be the first of many sweet

songs

are you sad we missed it

we didn't miss it this is it number 14

Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsen Greece all

right we're not gonna act like this

couple is hashtag relationship goals

looking beyond the problematic moments

that don't hold up though there are a

few reasons why Sandy and Danny remain

an iconic couple

[Music]

anymore but you don't gotta break

cause it sounds like a threat for

starters the electrifying music whether

torn apart during a solo or coming

together for a duet the audience wants

these two to work through their issues

the casting is also Pitch Perfect with

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John

bringing their signature charm to the

roles

[Music]

the two shared natural chemistry that

might not have translated into a

real-life romance but Greece would Mark

the beginning of a beautiful friendship

the seeds of their devoted friendship

are present in the film which owes a lot

to its Stars you mean double a polar

burger with everything in the cherry

soda with chocolate ice cream that

sounds good

the same

number 13 Stella Grant and will Newman

five feet apart

spiritually Stella and Will are made for

one another physically however the odds

are against them what what are you doing

up here

six feet at all times you both know the

rules both suffer from a genetic

disorder that requires them to remain

separated in a way the fact that they

fall in love despite the distance makes

their romance all the more heartwarming

of course it also sets us up for

inevitable heartbreak all I want is to

be with you

foreign

adding to the Poetic Tragedy this film

came out in March 2019 almost a year

before kovid drove loved ones apart in

real life it might not be the exact same

circumstances but Stella and will

suddenly become even more relatable in

that sense five feet apart has developed

into a team movie for a generation

growing up during a pandemic helping

couples through a difficult period we

need that touch from the one we love

almost as much as we need air to breathe

but I never understood the importance of

touch

his touch

until I couldn't have it number 12.

Sutter Keeley and Amy finicky The

Spectacular Now

he is a party-goer without a care she is

a responsible young woman with a bright

future on paper they might come across

as an unlikely pair or a disaster

waiting to happen I thought for a second

that maybe you were dead

dead

while their relationship isn't without

hardships The Spectacular Now doesn't

play out in the fashion you would expect

Sutter helps Amy to finally live a

little during her senior year in due

course Sutter comes to realize what it

means to be seriously committed to

someone before he can learn this lesson

Sutter must confront his own demons do

you not see that I am bad for you you

need to get away from me by the time

Sutter gets his act together it's

unclear if Amy will take him back even

if their romance is limited to a year of

high school though both grow from The

Experience maybe too late for this essay

it's not too late for me number 11. Jim

Stark and Judy Rebel Without a Cause

Rebel Without a Cause might not have

been the first movie to seriously

analyze the teenage experience however

it did lay out a blueprint that many

teen dramas still abide by bringing

nuances to Young characters who could

have been paper-thin archetypes I'm

sorry that I treated you mean today

you shouldn't believe what I say when

I'm with the rest of the kids

nobody nobody acts sincere acting out

because of her father Judy is drawn to

juvenile delinquent Jim Stark whose need

to Rebel is also rooted in his home life

there's more to Jim than his bad boy

image which Judy recognizes as he shows

the affection and understanding her

father denies

me anymore

ever ever

[Music]

with the world around them crumbling the

tomb might be in denial as they play

house with fellow lost soul Plato once

they're ready to Face Reality though Jim

and Judy find they're stronger together

this is Judy

a friend number 10 Lara Jean Covey and

Peter Kavinsky to all the boys I've

Loved Before we have all had a crush

that never materialized into a romantic

relationship although Laura Jean is

among the select few who've actually

written letters to all the boys she's

loved I write a letter when I have a

crush so intense that I don't know what

else to do rereading my letters reminds

me of how powerful my emotions can be

how all-consuming

and Margo would say I'm being dramatic

but I think drama can be fun of course

she never intended to actually mail them

when those love letters are sent out

Lara Jean's scurries to do damage

control especially since one of her

crushes is her older sister's ex oh my

God

[Music]

oh my god oh okay when a former Crush

Peter Kavinsky agrees to enter a

mutually beneficial fake relationship

with her there is little doubt that the

popular guy will ultimately fall for the

shy uncomfortable girl and vice versa

hi

there's no one like you Cody

[Music]

what sets it apart from other Opposites

Attract romances is the growth we see

within each character as largene comes

out of her shell and Peter emerges as a

surprisingly sensitive partner wait

how do we do this

what do you mean

well what do you put into a contract for

a real relationship nothing

you gotta trust number nine Troy Bolton

and Gabriella Montez the High School

Musical franchise High School Musical

might not be the most accurate portrayal

of the high school experience but one

element that remains genuine throughout

the trilogy is Troy's relationship with

Gabriella

[Music]

Gabriella one's a jock the others are

math whiz and both love to sing but wait

a basketball star and a member of the

Scholastic decathlon cannot possibly be

together let alone sing together in a

School Musical can they yeah we all know

where this is going

[Music]

Vanessa Hudgens brings sincerity to

their on-screen chemistry even if their

dialogue is fairly tame the

conversations they share about pressure

expectations and the future do encompass

the insecurities of being a teenager I

wish it would all just slow down

to stop

we're gonna graduate

[Music]

that's going to happen nothing is going

to slow down

[Music]

I guess my heart just doesn't know it's

in high school and make them a

surprisingly relatable couple that

younger audiences can look up to number

eight Simon Speer and Abraham Bram

greenfeld love Simon one of the best

modern teen romances is also one of the

best teen Mysteries although Simon comes

from an accepting family and has several

close friends he can't bring himself to

tell them that he's gay

[Music]

morning oh

hey when another student opens up online

about his closeted lifestyle under the

Alias of blue Simon finds a kindred

spirit he can be completely honest with

well I've never told anyone about my

Daniel Radcliffe phase so now we're even

and for the record I think Jon Snow is

an excellent choice for your sexual

Awakening for much of the film the

identity of blue remains vague even when

they're communicating digitally though

it's evident that Simon and blue are

made for each other it isn't until the

end that Simon learns his secret admirer

is Bram who he knows in real life wait

wait

can I sit there

I was kind of waiting for somebody

yeah I know when the two finally

expressed their true feelings on a

ferris wheel it's nothing short of

elevating are you disappointed that it's

me

[Applause]

number seven Juliana Julie Baker and

Bryce Lasky flipped even if you weren't

alive in the late 50s or early 60s it's

hard to watch this adaptation of

Wendolyn van dranen's young adult novel

without getting some nostalgic feels

it's amazing how drastically a Young

Person's feelings can change between

second and sixth grade one day you're

annoyed by a girl who has an

Unapologetic crush on you the idea was

that Sherry would eat with me maybe we'd

walk around together and hopefully Julie

would eventually lose interest the next

you strangely find yourself longing for

her because less than 20 feet away from

me was Julie my Julie with Eddie Truluck

I'm

she's laughing

what was she laughing about

how could she sit there and laugh and

look so beautiful Bryce and Julie's

courtship is one that we can all

identify with serving as a classic

example of young love what are you doing

Bryce stop it Bryce didn't even make it

to first base it's difficult and

confusing but few things are sweeter

even if you don't entirely understand

these feelings sometimes you just need

to climb a tree to see things from

another perspective

number six Jamie Sullivan and Landon

Carter A Walk to Remember I might kiss

you

it might be bad at it

[Music]

it's not possible Landon didn't expect

to fall in love with Jaime when he was

forced to participate in a school play

that's not the only curveball life

throws you know you know I was getting

along with everything fine I accepted it

and then you happen

I do not need a reason to be angry with

God it comes as a devastating blow to

Landon and the audience when Jaime comes

clean about her leukemia while their

wedding marks a joyous moment both

realize that this isn't the beginning of

a life together it's not necessarily the

end either although Jaime inevitably

succumbs to her illness their love

persists even in death Jaime encourages

Landon to make the most of his life

never truly leaving him

but our love

[Music]

but I can feel it number five Juno

McGuff and Polly Bleaker Juno unplanned

pregnancy and teen pregnancy were

already very much in the public eye when

Juno hit theaters but the film presented

several Dynamics rarely seen in Coming

of Age movies when it comes to the bun

in her oven Juno's parents are

understanding her classmates are casual

and the father is supportive of her

decisions so you're cool without them

yeah yeah wizard I mean you know just I

guess do whatever you think you should

do you know Juno and Paulie's courtship

certainly plays out in unconventional

fashion they go from Pals who

spontaneously have sex to the expecting

parents of a baby being given up for

adoption putting their relationship in

an uncomfortable place hey me and some

guys are gonna go to the movies after

school and we're gonna donut that flick

with the guy who has 18 kids do you want

to come

ugh

sounds awesome I got I got my ultrasound

oh really

can I uh

should I come

on

you you can't waste those those donut

holes there throughout this experience

Juno comes to realize that she loves

Paulie who has never been secretive

about his feelings for her still gonna

think I'm cute when I'm huge

I I always think you're cute

I think you're beautiful

jeez wig I do he's the cheese to wear

macaroni and few couples have made more

beautiful music together number four

Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Gus

Waters The Fault in Our Stars not since

Jamie and Landon in A Walk to Remember

has a teenage romance generated More

Tears you're my angel

[Music]

knowing that her days are numbered due

to thyroid cancer Hazel maintains a

pessimistic attitude and is reluctant to

be in a committed relationship gosh I'm

a grenade

one day I'm gonna explode I'm gonna

obliterate everything in my wake and

I don't know I just I feel like it's my

responsibility to minimize the

casualties Gus who had to have a leg

amputated due to bone cancer is the

opposite treating each day as if it's

his last see I decided a while back not

to deny myself the simpler pleasures of

existence particularly as you so

astutely pointed out we're all going to

die pretty soon his enthusiastic Outlook

is exactly

down her defenses the more time they

spend together Hazel not only finds

herself falling in love but also

realizes that even a life cut short is

still a valuable one you gave me it

forever

within the number of days

and for that I am

eternally grateful

I love you so much that being said Hazel

and Gus's relationship is like a

shooting star beautiful but it goes by

far too quickly okay

[Music]

okay number three Katarina cat Stratford

and Patrick Verona 10 Things I Hate

About You A lot has changed since

William Shakespeare wrote The Taming of

the Shrew in the 16th century the

romance at the story's core still has a

place in modern times however as

demonstrated through 10 Things I Hate

About You providing a launching point

for the careers of several young actors

the film stars Julia Stiles as the

cynical cat I guess in this Society of

being male and an makes you

worthy of our time and Heath Ledger as

bad boy Patrick Verona while both are

social outcasts in their own right they

otherwise appear to be an unlikely pair

you're not as mean as you think you are

you know that you're not as badass as

you think you are oh someone still has

her panties and a Twist don't for one

minute think that you had any effect

whatsoever on my panties then what did I

have an effect on other than my upchuck

reflex nothing when Patrick is paid to

go out with cat however it becomes clear

that they have more in common than

anyone imagined so you're disappointed

from the start and then you're covered

right

something like that

then you screwed up

how

you never disappointed me even if their

relationship stems from a lie the

connection that blossoms couldn't be

more honest or adorable number two Lloyd

dobbler and Diane Court say anything the

80s were a golden age for teen romances

and say anything set a new standard as

the decade Drew to a close the scene

where Lloyd holds a Boombox over his

head outside Diane's window is by far

the most iconic moment of their

relationship yet there's so much more to

this couple than that Peter Gabriel song

although they come from different

backgrounds Lloyd and Diane are both

deeply afraid of the future as far as

career longevity I don't really know

because you know you can't really tell

trading six is a fighter you know it's

no good you know you have to be great

but I can't really tell if I'm great

until I've had a couple of pro fights

but I haven't been knocked down yet

I don't know I can't figure it all out

tonight so I'm just gonna hang with your

daughter Lloyd goes through life without

Direction hoping things will fall into

place I mean I've got to be honest I'm

not looking for that I'm looking for

something bigger you know I'm looking

for a dare to be great situation Lloyd

everybody in that party put something on

their record except you how many of them

really know what they want though

I mean a lot of them think that they

have to know right but inside they don't

really know so

I don't know Diane has everything mapped

out which ironically makes her more

uncertain about life After High School

while neither knows what the future

holds they decide to figure it out

together and ultimately emerge stronger

because of their bond I just thought

we'd do this

nobody really thinks it will work do

number one Romeo Montague and Juliet

Capulet Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare

resurfaces and while the setting is once

again modernized the dialogue that made

the story of young love Immortal remains

intact Romeo

oh Romeo where for out thou Romeo even

if you've never watched a film or stage

version of Romeo and Juliet chances are

you're still familiar with its titular

couple but what exactly is it that's

made this story of Woe resonate for so

many centuries simply put it's the

humanity at the heart of its romance it

will still leave me so unsatisfied

what satisfaction can still have tonight

the exchange of thy loves faithful vow

for mine

[Music]

the story authentically conveys the

passion young people often feel when

they first fall in love and how that

passion can escalate into tragedy when

they aren't allowed to explore those

feelings

it's

Juliet in a world darkened by Prejudice

and hatred Romeo and Juliet's love is a

candle that's blown out in a heartbeat

ageless bargain

to engrossing death

[Applause]

[Music]

DiCaprio and Claire Danes in the title
