We calculate the resistivity $\rho$ as a function of temperature $T$ for two models currently discussed in connection with high temperature superconductivity: nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquids and models with van Hove singularities on the Fermi surface. The resistivity is calculated semiclassicaly by making use of a Boltzmann equation which is formulated as a variational problem. For the model of nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquids we construct a better variational solution compared to the standard one and we find a new energy scale for the crossover to the $\rho\propto T^2$ behavior at low temperatures. This energy scale is finite even when the spin-fluctuations are assumed to be critical. The effect of additional impurity scattering is discussed. For the model with van Hove singularities a standard ansatz for the Boltzmann equation is sufficient to show that although the quasiparticle lifetime is anomalously short, the resistivity $\rho\propto T^2\ln(1/T)$.
