Maybe you’re looking for a sweet and predictable tale, some seriously steamy scenes, or a love story that’s slightly unhinged but honestly still relatable.

Listen, we’re not here to judge your taste in streamable rom-coms; we’re just here to help you decide what to watch next, so that an hour from now you can be deeply engrossed in one of the best romantic comedy movies on Netflix instead of still scrolling through titles and watching a dozen trailers.
