Line 106:
* Every character in ''[[Anti Trust]]'', with the possible exception of the very cute Rachael Leigh Cook {{spoiler|who is [[The Mole]] and presumably deliberately chosen as someone the hero would fall for.}}
* ''[[Hackers]]'' stars ''[[Angelina Jolie]]'', for crying out loud. (Although her makeup ''was'' awful.) And super-hot Jonny Lee Miller!
* [[Emma Watson]] playing Hermione Granger in the [[Harry Potter (film)|''Harry Potter'' films]]?! To be fair, Hermione was never really portrayed in the books as unattractive, just not all that concerned with her appearance, at least not to the extent that the other girls were. In fact, when Hermione actually tries to be pretty, such as during the Yule Ball in ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)|Goblet of Fire]]'', both Ron and Harry wonder who this beautiful girl is and what she has done with Hermione. Still, she started out as buck-toothed, with bushy hair. Her teeth were fixed after a mis-aimed spell, and her hair is too much trouble to deal with except for special occasions. Emma Watson was cast at the age of nine, at which point she was cute for a little girl. It's not really the film's fault that nobody was able to predict that puberty would turn her into a stunningly attractive young woman.
** The part of Severus Snape, played by [[Alan Rickman]], also suffers. In the books, Snape is supposed to be a greasy, unpleasant, hook-nosed recluse who spends most of his time in a lightless dungeon. He is often compared (unfavorably) to a bat, and it is revealed that in his childhood he was beaten up and picked on near constantly for his unwashed hair and ugliness. Alan Rickman can't help being a gorgeous man. This is only slightly helped by the fact that Snape is supposed to be in his late thirties and Alan Rickman was well over 60 at the time. [[J. K. Rowling]] herself chose Alan Rickman for the role of Snape. Also this was after first choice [[Tim Roth]] turned it down.
* In the "[[Bad Future|Pottersville]]" sequence of ''[[It's a Wonderful Life]]'', Mary Hatch is shown to be a "mousy" spinster librarian in glasses and dowdy clothing. Still, she's played by [[Hot Librarian|Donna Reed]].
