Shane West as Landon Carter in A Walk to Remember
![High School Movie Heartthrobs](https://people.com/thmb/cJ7tIzf5g1SDre_fFBExuRk6Xs0=/4000x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(999x0:1001x2)/shane-west-1-2000-6c5ada4f328849d385f2a3d954c00c35.jpg)

Corbin Bleu as Chad Danforth in High School Musical
![High School Movie Heartthrobs](https://people.com/thmb/wb-X2h4THR9VmcRDYIiuCDMTLRE=/4000x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(665x0:667x2)/corbin-bleu-1-2000a-ec79c02826b64967ab10ba8c1d842bb8.jpg)
If we played basketball on the same team as Corbin Bleu's character in High School Musical, we would definitely need someone to remind us to "Get'cha Head In the Game."
Liam Hemsworth as Will Blakelee in The Last Song

Efron should be a part of the High School Heartthrob Hall of Fame at this point.
Jacob Elordi as Noah Flynn in The Kissing Booth
![High School Movie Heartthrobs](https://people.com/thmb/_q9d1B4XcQjkTd4AD0e1XT0utjo=/4000x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(665x0:667x2)/jacob-elordi-1-2000-7c0e5fba19354100be11bc79f87582d5.jpg)

Don't pretend like you didn't pine after a guy like chain-smoking, bass-playing, literature-toting, leather-jacket wearing Kyle.
Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters in The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars may be a super-sad film, but at least we got to watch Ansel Elgort be romantic and adorable for a few hours.
