Sometimes all you need is to sit down for two hours and watch two people fall in love. If you’re in the mood for a romantic comedy but don’t know what movie to watch or where to look for it, we've got your back! Below is a diverse list of some top-tier rom-coms for whatever your vibe may be, along with where to stream them.

 

1. For a Bookish Vibe: To All The Boys I Loved Before

Actually based on a novel by Jenny Han, this movie brings you into the mind of an avid romance reader in a way that makes you feel as if you’ve entered into the book itself. Offering cozy vibes and redemption for girls who were awkward and reserved in high school, this movie is a classic, sure to bring on all the feels. (Stream on Netflix)

 

 

 

2. For an Emphasis on Comedy: Anyone But You

This modern classic, loosely adapted from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, has received praise for revitalizing the rom-com genre after a slump. As it often recreates scenes from the source material, watching this movie can feel like watching a play, making it entertaining and different from other rom-coms. Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney star as an enemies-to-lovers pair in this fun romp. This film is perfect for fans of modern romance. (Stream on Netflix)

 

 

 

3. For 2000s Nostalgia: 10 Things I Hate About You

Like Anyone But You, this movie has roots in a Shakespeare play (in this case, The Taming of the Shrew), a trait that often launches rom-coms into the realm of instant classics. It certainly worked with this film, which is a fan favorite and often cited as one of the best romantic comedies of its time. With Julia Stiles's strong female protagonist playing opposite a bad boy Heath Ledger, what could go wrong?! (Stream on Disney+)

 

 

 

4. For a Hint of Supernatural: Palm Springs

This mix of sci-fi and romantic comedy is a unique take on the Groundhog Day trope, following two wedding guests who keep reliving the day of the wedding. "SNL" alum Andy Sandberg gives a performance both comedic and heartfelt, and his chemistry with co-star Cristin Millioti palpable through the screen. Though it's not your typical rom-com, any lovers of the genre will swoon over this irreverent yet sincere film. (Stream on Hulu)

 

 

 

5. For Workplace Comedy Fans: Set It Up

An underrated gem, this movie follows two overworked assistants trying to get their bosses together who end up falling in love with each other. Smarlty written and expertly paced, this movie is both wildly entertaining and compulsively re-watchable. While fans of the romantic comedy genre will find comfort in this film, it also offers fresh plot points that make it wholly unique. On top of that, the chemistry between Glen Powell and Zoey Deutch will make you giggle and kick your feet. (Stream on Netflix)
