Misunderstood prom queens, geeks with the hots for biggest babe in school, mean girl posse bimbos who lack personalities...these are just some of the teen movie character cliches we see over and over. The late '90s spawned a slew of teen high school films, and there was one type that managed to be a staple of almost all of 'em: popular douchebag. He might be a rich kid, he might be a jock, he might even play acoustic guitar, but one thing's for sure -- you are not supposed to root for him.
But who is the most despicable specimen of them all? Here are 9 '90s teen movie douchebags, ranked by their levels of douchiness.

The trailer for the supernatural horror flick is out, and it'll definitely give you the creeps. Dormer plays Sara, who goes to Japan's Aokigahara Forest (aka the "Suicide Forest") to look for her missing twin sister. Everyone, including guide Taylor Kinney, warns her against going in there in the first place, but especially not to stray from the path or stay overnight. But she's determined to find her sister - even if the cost is her sanity.
"The Forest" looks like it holds plenty of spine-tingling, gasp-inducing scares and thrills, though the trailer itself is a little cliched. For instance, there's the requisite shower scene, with a menacing figure standing outside the fogged-up glass. Still, Dormer is an awesome actress, and we're glad to see her headlining her own movie.
Kristen Wiig has been bringing the laughs to audiences nationwide since her big break on "Saturday Night Live" back in 2005. While she usually does comedies like "Bridesmaids," or indie flicks like "The Skeleton Twins," she's getting serious attention for her role in the highly anticipated "The Martian." Even though everyone loves Wiig, there are some facts about her that might surprise you.
From her improv start to her rebellious past, here are 12 things you might not have known about Kristen Wiig.

Netflix has released a new, under-minute teaser for their upcoming Marvel drama, and it's as tantalizing as the first. We never get to see Jessica's (Krysten Ritter) face, but we certainly get a sense of her personality as she cues up Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" on the jukebox. Then, she picks her way carefully through the remains of a big bar fight - other patrons knocked out or trying (and failing) to get at her.
So, what we know: 1) Jessica likes to drink, and 2) She can brawl. Our kind of girl!
Other than that, we know that Jessica is a former superhero who has given up her powers to open a supernatural detective agency. Mike Colter stars as Luke Cage (before going off to his own Netflix series), David Tennant as the villain Kilgrave, Rachael Taylor as BFF Patsy, and Carrie-Anne Moss as as the powerful Harper.
All 13 episodes of "Jessica Jones" will be available to stream on Netflix on November 20.
It's been five years since the release of "The Social Network" (on October 1, 2010), and it still feels like David Fincher was robbed of the Oscar.
His account of the birth pangs of Facebook was a movie about the way we live now, structured in a way that suited its cautionary tale about the elusiveness of truth in a system overstuffed with information. At the Academy Awards, however, Fincher's film went up for Best Picture against "The King's Speech," a perfectly good but thoroughly conventional Oscar-bait movie (British period costume drama, World War II setting, protagonist who triumphs despite a handicap) and lost.
For all the popularity of his movies, Fincher seems doomed to being seen as ahead of his time. His films seem to recognize that we're drowning in more information than we can handle, and he seems bent on forging a visual style and editing rhythm that will help rewire our brains to handle the overload. In honor of the film's fifth anniversary, here's a ranking of every Fincher movie.

Horror's not just for Halloween: Every night is a good night to get the sh** scared out of you.
Whether your nightmare of choice is ghosts, vampires, zombies, demons or heavily-armed psychos, there's something good on Netflix right now you can stream (if you dare).
We're here to help guide you through the dozens of horror flicks to the good stuff, from extreme gore to psychological terror to tastefully artistic horror and, of course, the best in horror-comedies.
If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
Here's Stephen Colbert contemplating the mysteries of the universe alongside Tom Hanks in a "Late Show" segment called "Big Questions with Even Bigger Stars." It's like a hilarious midnight picnic with Forrest Gump. The audience cheered for Tom for so long it kinda cut the segment short, but they still spent a lot of time asking deep questions and giving silly answers. For example, they tackled big Qs like "Why do bad things happen to good people?" and "What would you do with a time machine"? It's great. A Hitler-killing baby is involved. Stephen Colbert + John Oliver = Where's Jon Stewart? 'Cause he would complete the trifecta. John got bleeped, saying he doesn't give a toot about Donald Trump right now. But he can't vote anyway, so... After his appearance, John Oliver left a funny video guest book message for Stephen Colbert, offering some tips on the show. "Late Show" guests Bill Withers and Ed Sheeran sat side-by-side and shared something in common: they both had stutters. The best part came after Ed listed all of his medical issues growing up: "The reason I became a musician is God looked down and said 'You probably need some help getting laid.'" The audience cheered. Bill's response: "That's what you call going from ginger to a ginger snap." Ken Jeong of "Dr. Ken" was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," talking about being a doctor who became an actor, and he did his Korean Johnny Carson impression: Seth Meyers got semi-serious over on "Late Night," taking a closer look at Planned Parenthood and the recent Republican congressional attacks. Good work, man. This is what Seth does best, to be honest. He's in his element when he's mostly "The Daily Show." Over on the "Late Late Show with James Corden," Patricia Arquette, Matt Walsh, Jeremy Irvine discussed sex scene experiences. Which sock do you pick? Quite a dilemma. If you're curious about how "The Big Bang Theory" star Kunal Nayyar lost his virginity, he wrote about it in his book and told the story on "Conan." He was 19, it was anticlimactic and, the next morning, he called the girl the wrong name: On "The Tonight Show," Bravo honcho Andy Cohen offered a guide to Twitter. "We are all just one tweet away from getting fired. Think before you tweet." He also recently insulted Tori Spelling after she was burned, and then accidentally insulted her again when they e-mailed each other. Think before you e-mail too.
Last but not least, here's the beautiful Julianna Margulies drowning in sexual innuendo (grease of the cock?!) when explaining a magazine shoot in the south of France. She's all wet! Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.
